Companion Care in Pleasant View, TN: the local picture
About 165 residents of Pleasant View aged 65 or older live alone, 19% of older residents in households (22% in Cheatham County). They are the people companion care is usually for: mostly independent, but on their own for long stretches of the day.
2.1% of Pleasant View households have no vehicle (2.0% in Cheatham County). A companion who drives can turn a week at home into appointments, shopping and visits.
Of the 865 Pleasant View residents aged 65 or older, 11 are 85 or older (1.3%). Before the first visit with someone in that oldest group, ask the family about hearing, eyesight, walking and any memory changes, so the visit is planned around them.
483 Pleasant View households headed by someone 65 or older own their home and 12 rent. A companion visiting a house may also help with mail, light chores and keeping an eye on things; in an apartment building, ask whether visitors sign in.
About 18 older Pleasant View residents (2.1%) live below the poverty line (7.2% in Cheatham County). For them, Medicaid home and community-based services or the local Area Agency on Aging may cover some companion or homemaker hours, depending on the state program; private pay is not the only route.
About 3.5% of Pleasant View residents aged 5 and over speak a language other than English at home. The most common are Chinese (120), Spanish (44), Vietnamese (9). If the person you care for is more at ease in one of these languages, say so in your posting; many caregivers list the languages they speak.

What companion care costs in Pleasant View
At the Tennessee median aide wage of $15.45 an hour, 20 hours of help a week comes to about $1,339 a month in wages, which is 22% of the $5,986 monthly median income of Pleasant View households headed by someone 65 or older. Private rates are agreed directly with the caregiver, so yours may be higher or lower. Tennessee has no state minimum wage law, so the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour applies to employers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (U.S. Department of Labor).
Hiring directly, you agree the rate with the caregiver and usually become the household employer (U.S. Department of Labor rules). Some families qualify for programs that pay for care at home; see TennCare CHOICES: how to get paid to care for a family member in Tennessee.
What to know before hiring a companion caregiver
Isolation is a health risk, not only a mood. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found that nearly one in four Americans aged 65 and older living in the community is socially isolated, and linked isolation to higher risks of dementia, heart disease and early death (2020 report).
Questions worth asking: What do you enjoy doing with the people you care for? Are you comfortable driving, and is your car insured for passengers? How do you handle a client who does not want company at first? More in our companion care guide.
