More than just a visit — a genuine friendship
Companionship care is regular, scheduled visits from a trained carer whose role is to spend quality time with you. This is not just about having someone in the house — it is about conversation, shared interests, laughter, and feeling genuinely valued and connected.
Research consistently shows that social isolation and loneliness have serious effects on physical and mental health, particularly for older adults. A regular companionship visit can make a profound difference to mood, motivation, and overall wellbeing.
Speak to our teamThe real impact of loneliness
Loneliness is associated with a 26% increase in the risk of early death — comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
Social isolation significantly increases the risk of depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline in older adults.
Regular social contact from a trusted companion supports mental health, physical activity, and a sense of purpose every week.
What your companion does
Every visit is built around what you enjoy and what makes you feel good. There is no fixed script — just time spent together, your way.
Conversation & company
Genuine, warm conversation about things that matter to you — news, memories, interests, family, or simply how your day is going.
Hobbies & activities
Joining you in hobbies you enjoy — reading, games, puzzles, crafts, gardening, cooking, watching films, or whatever brings you joy.
Outings & trips
Getting out of the house together — a walk in the park, a trip to the shops, a coffee, a visit to a place of worship, or seeing friends and family.
Light support at home
Helping with light tasks while they visit — making a cup of tea, tidying up, reading post, or helping with simple tasks that feel easier with company.
