Caregiver Companion is a
volunteer organization sponsored by the Congregation of Saint
Joseph. The organization, whose mission
is to assist caregivers of the sick and disabled, was
founded by Sister Veronica Baumgartner CSJ in February of
1995. With initial funding from the Sisters of St. Joseph in
Tipton, Indiana,
support from St. Mary Cathedral, and donated office space
from St. Ann’s Church, Caregiver Companion began its service
to the caregivers of Tippecanoe County. In 2003,
Caregiver Companion expanded into Tipton County. |

About our logo…
The
letters of Caregiver and Companion are joined to indicate
the close relationship our volunteers form with the
caregivers they serve. The relationship is that of
friendship, support, and practical service. The figures
represent the volunteer, the caregiver, and the person for
whom they care. Connecting the three people are hearts
signifying that it is love that unites the three.
We realize
that service must be given in love to be of any real
value. Because God is love, we acknowledge that it is
God who joins volunteer, caregiver, and neighbor as
one. Color, too, has significance. Blue is a primary
color. It is a strong, basic color from which other colors
can be created. Our strong presence with the families we
serve can change lives for the better, and does often
improve the quality of life of the entire family. The word,
Companion, is in a lighter blue then the Caregiver because
our service is given, not to draw attention to ourselves,
but rather to focus our energy and work toward the relief of
the caregiver.
