About Never Alone USA

Together we can make a difference. 

For those who have extended hospital stays, especially those representing older demographics, the mental state of the patient has a dramatic effect on their ability to heal or be stable.

The goal of the organization is to provide a sense of peace to both the person in the care and their families by supporting them and knowing there is a steady, responsible party who is checking in on their loved one's physical, mental, and emotional health throughout this tumultuous time.
