Care at home
Companionship Care
Non-medical companion support at home or in the community — company, errands, hobbies and travel.

What are companionship services?
Companion care is a non-medical service that can be tailored to an individual and their needs. It can be provided at home or while out in the community. It spans social and practical support, with the goal of providing emotional support, improving quality of life, and offering genuine companionship.
1. Company
The loss of a loved one, limited mobility, or family who do not live locally can be hard to manage. A friendly, familiar face can take you out and about, support you around the house, or sit with a cup of tea a couple of times a week.
2. Running errands
Things that used to feel straightforward can become difficult. Personal assistants can support you with shopping, the post office, or collecting your pension so jobs are done when you need them.
3. Hobbies and holidays
An injury or illness is no reason for the things you enjoy to stop. Your carer can support physical activities such as swimming or a walk, accompany you to social groups, classes or a day centre, and even assist on holiday in the UK or abroad.
4. Driving and chaperoning
Our carers can drive you or accompany you on public transport to appointments, days out or social engagements.
Accepting a new person into your home can feel daunting. Having a regular companion for hobbies, activities and errands means you can build a relationship that many of our clients come to rely on.
We thoroughly vet our carers so everyone who visits you is of a high standard and focused on helping you live the life you want.
