More than a companion
With Odhor, arrange for a loved one to be accompanied to medical appointments, home after sedation, or on everyday outings. From their door and back again, your loved one has an attentive, reassuring presence, in a setting designed for their safety. You know who’s with them and get updates, then a report.
From $79 for 2 hours, plus taxes. No subscription or sign-up fees.
Our services
The same price, whichever companion comes. We assign you a verified companion.

Discharge after sedationfrom $79 / 2 h + taxesColonoscopy, cataract, dental sedation, day surgery. Hospitals often require an adult to take the person home after sedation. A companion picks up your loved one at discharge and stays by their side until they are home.
Outings and companyfrom $79 / 2 h + taxesGroceries, a walk, a visit, the hairdresser, an activity. A companion picks up your loved one, stays with them during the outing and on the way home. Time together, with trust.How it works
Four steps, from booking to the report.
1. You book
On the website or in the app, choose the service, the person, the date and the time. The price is calculated before you pay. Nothing is charged on the day you book.
2. We assign a verified companion
We choose the companion based on your loved one’s needs and languages. Before the appointment, you see their profile: checks, languages and number of bookings.
3. On the day
The day before, you get the companion’s name and photo, and a 4-digit code. On the day, the companion asks for this code on arrival, then makes the trip with your loved one. They stay by your loved one’s side during the wait and bring your loved one home. If your loved one agrees, you follow each step in the app.
4. You get a report
Within 2 hours of getting home, the companion sends you a report: times, papers handed over, next appointment. It can include a photo on arrival and at the facility. These require your loved one’s consent. Nothing medical is written. You then pay for the actual time and get your receipt.

Safety and trust
Every companion is checked and trained before their first visit.
Identity verified
Before their first visit, every companion has their identity verified by Stripe Identity, with photo ID and a selfie. Odhor keeps no image of these documents.
Vulnerable sector check
Every companion provides a vulnerable sector police check, the one required to work with vulnerable people. Our team reviews it before accepting the application. If it expires, the companion gets no more visits.
First aid and CPR
Every companion holds a valid first aid and CPR certificate. Our team checks the certificate and its expiry date. Without a valid certificate, no more visits.
Interview and training
Every applicant has a video interview with our team. They then complete our training in the app, before their first visit.
Pickup code
The day before, your loved one gets a 4-digit code by text, and you see it in the app. The companion never receives it: they must ask you for it on arrival. Without this code, the visit doesn’t start.
Help during the visit
A help button stays visible in the app throughout the visit. In an emergency, the companion calls 911, then alerts the family and our team. During a visit, our team handles any incident within the hour.

No one should go to a medical appointment alone.
It all started with my father, in Cameroon, who needs help every day.
The need is real here too. After sedation, hospitals ask that an adult take the patient home, even by taxi. Without that adult, a colonoscopy or day surgery can be cancelled.
In Canada, among people aged 85 and older living at home, 42% live alone.
I created Odhor so every family can count on a trusted person, booked ahead, at a price known upfront.
