Around Boynton Beach
Boynton Beach has many 55+ communities west of I-95 as well as neighbourhoods near the water, and a regular companion is often the person who keeps the week on track.
They can drive your parent to Bethesda Hospital East or the pharmacy, join them at the Boynton Beach Senior Center, and stay for a game of cards afterwards.
If your parent lives in a gated community, tell the companion how guests check in at the gate before the first visit, so nobody is kept waiting.
All visits are non-medical companionship and everyday help. Each companion lists what they offer on their profile.
What a companion costs in Boynton Beach
Each companion sets their own hourly rate, currently about $20 to $32. Tandera adds a 10% platform fee and a 5% payment processing fee, and shows you the full total before you send a booking request.

- Meet first, in public. We suggest a first meeting somewhere public, like a café, before the first visit at home.
- Chat and pay in the app. Messages and payments stay in the app, so there's a record and no cash changes hands.

Why Tandera exists
Tandera began when Joel Rothenberg was looking for help for his grandfather. He wanted to hand-pick the people who would be by his grandfather's side, know they were background-checked, and be able to change things the moment it was needed. That's what Tandera gives every family.
