HE HADN'T SAID
MORE THAN TEN WORDS
TO ANY CAREGIVER.

I sat with a Vietnam veteran for three hours. He'd pushed away every caregiver before me. His wife texted that night: "He's been humming since you left." That's not a credential. That's the work. CPR certified, fingerprint cleared, veterans specialist — the paperwork matters. But that moment is why families stop searching after they find me.

HOW THIS WORKS

Three steps from first contact to your loved one feeling genuinely cared for.

1

Reach Out

Send a message or email — no forms, no gatekeepers. Tell me as much or as little as you're ready to share. I'll reply within a few hours.

2

Free Meet & Greet

We set up a relaxed, no-pressure visit — just a conversation. You meet me, I meet your loved one. No commitment. No invoice. Just people getting to know each other.

3

Care Begins

If it feels right for everyone, we build a schedule that works. I show up consistently, on time, every time — and we adjust as needs change.

What's Included
MOST CAREGIVERS
SHOW UP.
I ACTUALLY STAY.

A family called me after their third caregiver quit. They were exhausted and almost embarrassed to be asking again. I met their dad that Tuesday. He was quiet for about twenty minutes. Then he asked me if I'd ever seen the original True Grit. We talked for two hours. I've been going back every week since — not because it's on the schedule, but because I want to.

He hadn't said more than ten words to a caregiver in three years. He was polite — he just didn't have anything to say. I sat down and asked him about his service. We talked for two hours. His wife called me that evening and said he was still smiling. That's the one I think about when people ask me why I do this.
— Shiann Bowman, on a Vietnam veteran client

Why families choose Shiann

"We'd tried three caregivers before Shiann. With the others, Dad would clam up and wait for them to leave. The first day Shiann came, he was laughing. She just has a way with people that you can't fake."
— Family of a Yuma veteran

🎖️ Veterans aren't just another client

Linda's husband is a Vietnam vet with PTSD. She'd watched caregivers fumble the first hour and make things worse. "Shiann read him in about five minutes," Linda told me later. "He asked when she was coming back. That never happens." Your veteran doesn't need to explain themselves to me. I get it before they say a word.

🧡 You can't pour from an empty cup

Caregiving for a family member is one of the most exhausting things a person can do — and one of the loneliest. Stepping back isn't giving up. It's the only way you can keep going. I come in so you can actually rest, not just feel guilty in a different room.
Self-Assessment
IS IT TIME TO GET HELP?

Families often wait too long — not from neglect, but because it's hard to know when "managing" becomes "struggling." Check any signs you've noticed:

✓
Missed medications or double doses
Forgetting or confusing pills is a safety risk
✓
Increased isolation or withdrawal
Stopping activities or avoiding people they used to enjoy
✓
Difficulty with bathing, dressing, or grooming
Personal hygiene feels harder or is being skipped
✓
Weight loss or poor nutrition
Skipping meals, eating poorly, or losing weight unexpectedly
✓
Recent falls or mobility concerns
Unsteady walking, near-falls, or fear of falling
✓
Family caregiver feeling burned out
Exhaustion, resentment, or guilt are signs you need support too
✓
Memory or confusion issues increasing
Getting lost, forgetting conversations, or repeated questions
✓
Home becoming cluttered or unsafe
Housekeeping falling behind, expired food, or tripping hazards
✓ Looks manageable right now — but a free consultation never hurts. Early planning makes everything easier when the time comes.
⚠ Some support could help — a few hours a week can make a real difference before things become urgent. Let's talk about what that looks like.

🎖️ Veterans & Families

YOUR VETERAN MAY QUALIFY
FOR CARE BENEFITS YOU
DON'T KNOW ABOUT

Many veteran families don't realize the VA's Aid & Attendance benefit can help cover private caregiver costs — sometimes significantly. I'm familiar with the benefit landscape and can help you understand what to ask about. You shouldn't be navigating this alone.

Aid & Attendance pension benefit
Veteran-directed care programs
PTSD-informed support approach
No military jargon required from you
Who I Serve
WHOEVER THEY ARE,
I'VE CARED FOR SOMEONE LIKE THEM.

From independent seniors who need light support to veterans with complex needs — I've been there. Every situation is welcome.

🎖️

Veterans

VA-Benefit Aware · PTSD-Informed

You served your country. You deserve care from someone who understands what that means — not just a checklist, but real companionship and respect.

🌸

Aging Seniors

ADL Support · Companionship · Safety

Whether your loved one needs a few hours of help or daily visits, I build routines that feel natural — not clinical. Independence, preserved with dignity.

👨‍👩‍👧

Family Caregivers

Respite · Peace of Mind · Partnership

You love your family member — and you're exhausted. Respite care lets you step away knowing the person you love is genuinely cared for, not just supervised.

🏥

Post-Hospital Recovery

Transitional · Short-Term · Flexible

Coming home after surgery or a hospital stay is a vulnerable moment. I help bridge that gap — medication reminders, meals, mobility support, and familiar faces.

Day One
WHAT YOUR FIRST
VISIT LOOKS LIKE

No clipboards. No clinical intake forms. Just a real first impression built on listening.

Arrival

I come to your loved one's space

I arrive on time, introduce myself slowly, and let them set the pace. No rush. If they need twenty minutes of quiet first — that's fine.

Getting to Know Each Other

I listen more than I talk

I ask about their life, their preferences, what they love and what they absolutely don't. I find the thing that makes them light up — and I remember it.

Care, Not Checklist

Support woven into conversation

Meals, reminders, light help — it happens naturally, not in a clinical way. The goal is that care feels like presence, not service delivery.

After I Leave

I check in with the family

You hear from me the same day — what went well, what I noticed, any questions I have. You're never left guessing how it went.

M

She texted me twenty minutes after leaving to say Dad had asked when she was coming back. I cried on the spot.

Maria R. — Daughter of senior care client
D

I finally slept a full night. When I called to check in, Mom was telling her stories. That's everything.

Denise K. — Respite care family
L

My husband is a Vietnam vet with PTSD. Shiann read him in five minutes. He asked when she was coming back. That never happens.

Linda T. — Veteran care spouse

THE RIGHT FIT
GUARANTEE

If after your free consultation or first visit you don't feel I'm the right fit — no invoice, no awkward conversation. I'd rather you find someone who works than have you settle. That's the promise.

What Families Say
WHAT FAMILIES SAY
WHEN THEY FINALLY FIND THE RIGHT ONE.
★★★★★

Dad has been through more caregivers than I can count. He refused to talk to most of them. Shiann walked in and within twenty minutes they were laughing about old westerns. She's not a caregiver to him — she's a friend who happens to help.

Maria R.
Senior Care
★★★★★

I hadn't slept a full night in four months. I was running on guilt and coffee. The first time Shiann came to sit with Mom, I drove home and crashed for six hours. When I called to check in, Mom was telling her stories. That's everything.

Denise K.
Respite Care
★★★★★

My husband is a Vietnam vet with PTSD. I've watched caregivers fumble and make things worse within the first hour. Shiann read him in about five minutes and adjusted everything about how she spoke and moved. He asked when she was coming back. That never happens.

FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS
Yes — I hold a current Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card and am CPR certified. You can request copies before we start. I believe in radical transparency — there's nothing to hide.
Absolutely. I have specific experience with veteran clients — I understand military culture, am familiar with VA benefits and how to work alongside them, and approach PTSD-informed caregiving with patience and consistency. Veterans deserve care from someone who gets it.
Every visit is tailored to your loved one's needs and preferences. It might include preparing a meal, helping with personal hygiene, a walk and conversation, medication reminders, a drive to an appointment, or simply sitting together and talking. We build a routine that feels natural — not clinical.
I serve Yuma and surrounding areas including Foothills, Fortuna Foothills, and nearby communities. If you're unsure whether I cover your area — just ask! I'm flexible and community-focused.
Send a message below or email bowman.shiann@gmail.com. I'll reach out within 24 hours to set up a free, no-pressure consultation — with you, your loved one, or both. No commitment required, just a conversation.
Rates are customized based on the type of care, hours needed, and visit frequency. I'm completely transparent — no surprise fees, no "gotchas." We'll talk through it during the free consultation and I'll give you a clear number before anything starts.
Yes! Overnight and live-in care is available for clients who need around-the-clock presence and peace of mind. Availability depends on scheduling — reach out early if this is something you need.
A caregiver provides personal care, companionship, transportation, and daily living assistance. A home health aide or nurse handles medical tasks. I serve as the former — but I work well alongside medical professionals when needed and can help coordinate care across providers.
The Difference
WHAT SEPARATES
THE ONES WHO STAY.

Most families have been through this before. They know the difference. Here's what it looks like in practice.

📞
Same-day response

I don't have a callback queue. You message me, I respond — usually within a few hours, not days. Because when a family needs help, waiting isn't an option.

🎖️
Veterans actually understood

40 hours of RBT coursework specifically prepares me for clients with trauma histories, PTSD, and behavioral complexity. I don't flinch. I don't script. I meet people where they actually are.

🔒
Background cleared, CPR certified

Fingerprint clearance card on file. CPR and first aid certified. Not just checked — trained. Because families deserve to know exactly who is in their home with their loved one.

❤️
No quota. No script. No rushing.

I'm not an agency dispatching shifts. I'm one person, fully present, for however long the visit is. If that means sitting quietly for an hour because that's what someone needs — that's what happens.
