Companion Senior Care was founded in June 2021 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic—a time when families were desperate for dependable in-home support and the cracks in the healthcare system had never been more visible.

For BreAnna and Landon Bullard, it was the moment to step away from corporate healthcare and build something meaningful for their community.

BreAnna, a licensed social worker with experience inside a large healthcare corporation, had seen the system from the inside out—witnessing how rural families were often deprioritized and care decisions were driven by profit rather than people.

She knew families in towns like Hamilton, Stephenville and Goldthwaite deserved better.

With the support of her husband Landon, a local entrepreneur and owner of Bullard Construction, they created Companion Senior Care - an agency committed to serving the overlooked and underserved.

From the beginning, Companion’s focus has been clear: provide dependable, dignified in-home assistance to seniors and veterans living in rural Texas.

The agency does not accept Medicaid, but does participate in a local contract with the Area Agency on Aging, which receives grant funding to offer temporary home care assistance to qualifying clients across surrounding counties.

Companion built its reputation on saying yes—yes to isolated homes down backroads, yes to families turned away by other providers due to distance and yes to veterans struggling to get help through the VA system.

With a mission to never turn clients away based on where they live, Companion hires local caregivers who understand rural living and brings trustworthy, one-on-one assistance directly to the home.

The agency now serves multiple counties and continues to expand through VA-authorized home care, private-pay services and temporary assistance programs.

Every caregiver is carefully selected, trained and committed to the values BreAnna and Landon hold dear: consistency, respect and real human connection.

More than a business, Companion is a movement—challenging the idea that rural care should come with less access or fewer options.

From helping veterans age with dignity to creating jobs for local families, Companion Senior Care is deeply woven into the fabric of the communities it serves.
