Companionship care

A familiar, friendly face who comes for a chat, a cup of tea and help with the things that make the week go well.

Loneliness can affect health just as much as a physical illness. Our companionship visits give people someone to talk to, share interests with and rely on, and they give families peace of mind that their loved one is being looked in on.

We try to match you with carers who share your interests, and we keep the same small team visiting wherever we can, so you get to know each other.

How we can help

  • Conversation, games, reading and shared hobbies
  • Going for a walk, to the shops, a cafĂ© or a place of worship
  • Accompanying you to appointments
  • Light housework, laundry and tidying
  • Shopping and help with letters or paperwork
  • Making a meal together

Who it's for

Older people who live alone, people whose family live far away, and anyone who would like more company and support.
