Companionship
What is companionship care?
Enjoy the support of a trusted companion to boost your confidence and independence.
Sometimes care and support isn’t about a complex medical need or essential personal care tasks, but rather living the life that you want, doing the things you love and feeling as human as possible.
Companionship care is a type of home care service designed for individuals who may be at risk of loneliness or who have been experiencing loneliness for some time. A caregiver will visit the person’s home and spend time with them, providing company and emotional support.
General companionship
Your companion is there to be a friendly face and provide fun, compassionate companionship throughout the week
Cooking your favourite meals
A companion can prepare your favourite meals for you at the times that you decide, and can also sit and share the meal with you
Help with your weekly shopping
If you’re finding you need a bit of extra assistance with the shopping, a companion can either collect it for you or accompany you to the shops
Helping with travel arrangements
Travelling long distances can seem a daunting prospect, but your companion can help you plan your journey – as well as accompanying you
Assistance with domestic tasks
As well as providing friendly companionship, your carer can also help out around the home with domestic tasks such as cleaning and laundry
Ensuring your comfort at home
Whether they’re plumping your pillows, adjusting the heating or tidying things up, your companion can help ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed

Companionship services can be a great option for those of all ages, including younger people.
Going through personal or physical changes in life can often be overwhelming, but our companionship carers double up as physical support, and a friend when you need them. Companionship services can be a vital source of support for young people during what can often be a very busy and unpredictable period of a person’s life.
Here are some ways a companion can help young people:
Practical help at home
Companionship carers can also help out around the home with anything from preparing meals to sorting out laundry
Helping with life changes
Moving house, starting a job or going to university can be very daunting. An assistant provides valuable emotional and practical support for every need.
