Around Delray Beach
Delray Beach stretches from the beach and Atlantic Avenue to the communities west of I-95, and a short errand can take a parent who no longer drives most of a morning.
A companion can take your parent to an appointment at Delray Medical Center, collect prescriptions and groceries on the way back, and message you when they are home.
All visits are non-medical companionship and everyday help. Each companion lists what they offer on their profile.

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.
