Our Process

What to expect

A calm, clear path — from first call to steady routine.

1

Intake Call

A short call with the family or reference contact. We talk about routines, preferences, goals, and any concerns. No pressure, no forms.

2

Welcome Visit

A first in-person visit to build comfort and clarity. We review safety considerations, daily routines, and what good companionship looks like for your loved one.

3

Fit Week​

A first week of real visits. We confirm the fit, refine the routine, and make sure everything feels right, for your loved one and for you.

4

Steady Rhythm​

Once fit is confirmed, we settle into a consistent weekly schedule. You receive a short update after each visit. The plan adapts as needs change.
After each visit, you receive a short update. The plan can adapt as needs change.

Founder-Led Care · San Francisco

Meet Gabriel.
The only person
you'll ever work with.

I'm Brazilian, based in the Bay Area, and fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I founded Stride Circle because families deserve one reliable, consistent person — not an agency that rotates caregivers every few weeks.
"This isn't just hanging out. It's calm companionship with structure, social connection, and practical support in a predictable way."

San Francisco & select Bay Area neighborhoods

This is a non-medical service. I do not provide bathing/personal care, toileting/diaper changes, medication administration, injections/IVs, or clinical procedures—and I’m not a therapist. For emergencies, call 911. If a situation requires clinical support or involves elevated risk, I can recommend the appropriate licensed service.
