Meet Your Companion

Fredrika Herndon

Owner/Companion

Hi! I founded Capable Companion, LLC to provide people with a responsible, trustworthy, positive energy person to keep active adults getting out, doing their favorite things, and having fun doing everyday tasks (and even new things) together. Part of my inspiration comes from back in 2019 when I was the primary caregiver in our home to my father-in-law who had dementia, we could have used support like Capable Companion.

Testimonials

 

Fred has been a lifesaver for my sister and I. As our father's Alzheimer's progresses, she keeps him focused and entertained. When he is alone he becomes confused, frustrated, and shuts down but Fred motivates him to visit museums, go sightseeing, and occasionally helps us with his doctors appointments - things he cannot do anymore alone. He seems so much happier and we are relieved that he is having fun and is safe. Fred has boundless energy and an upbeat attitude that is infectious. We are thankful for her every day!

Fredrika is a ray of sunshine in anyone’s day! She has been a wonderful companion for my elderly father - from shopping trips to taking him to lunch and appointments to a fishing trip at Carvin’s Cove. Fredrika goes out of her way to discover your loved ones’ interests and then engage in activities that they will enjoy. As a busy professional who travels for work, it is such a relief to know that my father is not lonely while I am away. My father looks forward to his excursions with Fredrika! She is, quite simply, his favorite person!”

Fredrika’s help restored to me things I thought my stroke had taken away forever. With Fred’s assistance, I was even able to go on vacation.

I would hire Fredrika again and again without hesitation. She helped us with one of our family members this summer and she was not only professional but went well above and beyond any and all expectations. She was not there just to do a job. You could tell that her biggest priority at all times was to make sure the client truly enjoyed every moment they were together.

Fredrika is that person Mom trusts and loves her like the family she has become. She makes mom better because she’s not a sitter she is family!

I am highly selective when it comes to care givers for my parents and I could not be more impressed with Fredrika Herndon, the owner/operator of Capable Companion, LLC. Fredrika's abilities, caring personality, and flexible scheduling allow my mother and father independence with someone who is easy to be around because she treats you like family not an obligation.

This is not a testimonial of Capable Companion, this is a testimonial of Fredrika. She's like champagne; bubbly, makes you feel silly, and usually celebrating something! I have never met anyone who looks at life the way she does, she makes everything seem so good and happy and sunshiney! I met her through a job, and even now that neither of us work there any longer, she is someone who I hope stays in my life for a long time!
