Local Business Spotlight: Timesavers Caregiving & Concierge Mandi Barnum

Story by Amelia Bowen

Recognizing when a loved one needs support is not always immediate, but it becomes clearer over time. Timesavers Caregiving & Concierge, led by owner and operator Mandi Barnum, provides non medical, in home care for seniors and families across Bowling Green and Owensboro, helping clients remain safely and comfortably at home while maintaining their independence and dignity. Support can look different for every family, which is why the team offers a wide range of services, from companionship and personal care to medication reminders, meal preparation and post hospitalization support. Respite care and memory care are also available, along with flexible options through the Grace at Home program for those who may not need full time assistance but still benefit from consistent, reliable support. Mandi’s perspective is rooted in firsthand experience. “I actually started as a caregiver, so I have seen this work from every angle,” she says. “You are stepping into someone’s life during some of their most vulnerable moments, and that is something we never take lightly.” That perspective shapes how the entire team approaches care. Caregivers are selected not only for their skills, but for their compassion, and the team remains actively involved as each client’s needs evolve. Families are never left to navigate care on their own, but instead have a partner guiding them through each stage. The work often begins before a crisis point. Many clients are simply starting to notice small changes, whether related to memory, mobility or daily routines. Others are navigating transitions such as returning home from the hospital or adjusting to long term care needs. In each case, the goal remains the same: to provide steady, thoughtful support tailored to the individual. Timesavers is also a VA approved provider and accepts long term care insurance, helping make care more accessible for families across the region. Beyond the home, the company is deeply connected to the community it serves. Partnerships with local senior living communities, healthcare providers and organizations allow the team to stay engaged and responsive to the needs of Bowling Green’s growing population. Involvement with the Kiwanis Club of Bowling Green and initiatives like the Stockings for Seniors program through The Salvation Army reflect a continued commitment to giving back. With more than 15 years of service, Timesavers has grown into a trusted resource for families throughout South Central Kentucky, expanding into surrounding areas while maintaining the same level of personal care it was founded on. For Mandi, that consistency is what matters most. “We want families to know they do not have to navigate this alone,” she says. It is a simple message, but one that defines the work. At its core, Timesavers is not just providing a service. It is offering reassurance, stability and a trusted presence when it matters most.
