What is Companionship Care?

Companionship Care is a non-clinical support service designed to improve emotional wellbeing by offering social interaction, friendship and help with everyday activities. Unlike personal care, which focuses on physical assistance, companionship care is all about being present, offering a listening ear, conversation and shared activities that bring joy and structure to the day.

It’s especially valuable for older adults who live alone or anyone at risk of social isolation. Our carers don’t just visit, they build meaningful, trusted relationships that make customers feel seen, heard and supported.

Who is Companionship Care For?

Companionship Care is ideal for anyone who may be feeling lonely, isolated, or in need of extra social support, particularly older adults living independently. It’s not just for people with health issues, but also for those whose families may live far away, or who simply miss having regular, friendly interaction.

This type of care is especially beneficial for:

Older adults living alone who crave conversation and connection.

Individuals recovering from illness or bereavement who need emotional support.

People with mobility challenges who find it difficult to go out and socialise.

Individuals with early-stage dementia or memory issues who benefit from consistent, friendly faces and gentle routines.

Family carers looking for peace of mind knowing someone is checking in regularly.

How We Support You with Companionship Care

Personalised Matching

We take the time to understand your preferences, personality and routines, then carefully match you with a carer who truly fits. Many of our clients form lasting bonds with their regular companion.

Flexible Visits

Whether you’d like daily chats, a few visits a week, or even a one-off support session, we offer complete flexibility. Visits can start from just 30 minutes and we’re always happy to adjust the frequency as needed.

Meaningful Engagement

From sharing stories to helping with light tasks, we focus on activities that bring joy and purpose. This could include playing music, going for walks, arts and crafts, or even attending a local coffee morning.

Peace of Mind for Families

We keep families connected with updates and insights through our Family App, so you always know how your loved one is doing — even if you can’t be there in person.
