What we do:

A young woman and an elderly man are taking a selfie together indoors. The woman is smiling, has long brown hair, and is wearing a brown jacket over a dark shirt.

Why Choose Tandem

A graphic logo featuring a tandem bicycle with two seats and two sets of handlebars, overlaid with large stylized letter 'T'. The text 'Tandem Healthcare, Inc.' appears below the bicycle.

Home is where people feel safest, most comfortable, and most themselves.

At Tandem Healthcare, we believe care should meet you there. As rural long-term care options continue to shrink, we’re honored to bring comfort, support, and peace of mind directly into the homes of the seniors we serve.

Our non-skilled care teams—RNs, CMAs, CNAs, and personal care attendants—help individuals stay independent longer by providing the daily support, medication guidance, and personal attention they need to thrive at home with dignity.

Roadmap to Services

Meet the Founder

A woman with long, wavy blonde hair wearing a white blouse and black pants, smiling and crossing her arms, standing against a plain white background.

Founded by Bobby Jo Hamm, a registered nurse from Sisseton, SD, Tandem Healthcare was created from her passion to care for the elderly and the aging population.

Tandem strives to deliver quality care in the comfort and privacy of an individual’s own home. Bobby Jo saw the desire of people in the rural community to stay in their homes longer and to stay engaged and connected with their community. She is committed to providing a new way of care. Tandem works diligently to ensure our individuals spend their golden years receiving the highest level of care while maintaining independence and comfort.
