Should you put "senior" in your company name if they are your major target, but it is not limited to them? Also does using the word "platinum" for a senior home care/transportation business sound cold and not warm and fuzzy, although it stands for the best?
I would prefer golden to platinum. I would not use senior if there are other target markets
I wouldn't imply that the service is for seniors if you plan to include other age groups or possibly people with disabilities. An as alternative to the word platinum you could use the word sterling which can mean thoroughly excellent.
Wishing you all the best with your venture.
If you are going to target other than seniors, then leave that out of your company name. I would not use anything like gold or silver or platinum, because they have a cold feeling to them and--at least to me--they say you are trying too hard to impress.
I worked in home care for 4 years and people who used our service were looking for reliable, reputable, safe, honest, and clean care to take care of themselves or their loved one. I was part of the HR/Training team and our staff had to meet rigorous standards to be hired and represent our brand.
Your name should be straight forward, to the point, and without any fluff.
If you are affiliated with a hospital or hospital group, as ours was, that should be in your name--if you have the hospital's permission--your lawyers will need to work this one out. Be sure to have your lawyer do name checks for you to make sure you are not infringing on someone else's company name as many of the best names are already taken and companies are known to sue over name infringements.
If you are independent (not under a doctor or hospital umbrella), you need to keep your name simple and to the point. Something like At Home Care or After Hospital Care or Helping Hands Home Care may work if your lawyer gives you the all clear!
Wishing you all the best!

I'm planning on starting a caring for the elderly at home business and I can't think of a name. Can you please help?
I want something with AVI in it. I came up with AVI Cares Home Centre, but have doubts. Should I keep it or change it?Best wishes in your venture!
AVI Cares Home Centre sounds like you are a place.
If you are working in your client's homes, how about just AVI At Home Care.
It is simple, tells the person where the care will be, and gets you to the top of the alpha list!
The domain name is still available too, which is going to be half the battle in naming your business. AVI is a very popular start to domain names so many of your other choices are going to be gone already.
Blessings!!
If AVI stands for your initials it is a fine name.

I'm planning on starting a home health/sitter company, and I would love to use my late mother's name (Patricia) somehow for the business name, but I can't think of anything catchy.
Normally when you open a business it is best to not use a family name for your business. Especially when it comes to the health care industry. I would suggest that you try and find another idea for the name of your businesses. If you are set on using her name here are a few ideas that maybe would work for you on this one.

Precious Moments Home Health Sitters
