What is 
companionship care?

Companionship care is a type of home care service that provides emotional support and friendship. A companion can spend as much or as little time with you as you’d like, helping you to remain independent and enjoy the company of someone who will become a trusted friend over time.

Your companion can help with:

General Companionship

Your companion is there to provide friendly conversation & regular social visits.

Getting Out and About

Whether it’s helping with travel arrangements or joining you on a day out.

Keeping up your Hobbies

From book clubs to favourite games, you can keep doing what  you love.

Household Help

Support with light daily household tasks and meal preparation.

Running Errands

Like popping to the shops or attending appointments with you.

Confidence Boost

Supporting confidence and independence in and out of your home.

Why choose 
companionship care?

Human connection is vital to living a fulfilling and healthy life. As we get older, it’s natural for there to be changes in life that result in fewer social connections. Whether you or your loved one are facing a smaller circle of people to connect with on a regular basis or struggling to stay socially active, companion care can help you stay connected.

Loneliness can be just as harmful as physical illness. Companionship care helps fight isolation, lifts mood and gives families peace of mind knowing their loved one is regularly seen, heard and cared for.

What does companionship care mean?

Companionship care is a type of non-medical support focused on providing social interaction and emotional support to individuals who may be experiencing or at risk of loneliness. It involves a professional companionship carer regularly visiting you at home to spend quality time with you.

When should I or my loved one consider companionship care?

You should consider companionship care when you or someone you love starts feeling isolated, lonely or in need of regular social interaction. It’s especially helpful if:

You’re living alone and missing regular conversation
You’ve lost confidence after an illness or fall
Everyday tasks feel overwhelming or unmotivating
You’re recently bereaved or feeling low
You want to stay active and engaged but don’t want to do it alone
Family and friends can’t visit as often as they’d like

Companionship care can make a real difference in mood, wellbeing, and quality of life, providing gentle support and meaningful connection without medical or personal care needs.

Do you provide companion care for the elderly?

Yes. Many of the people we support are older adults living alone or feeling isolated. As we get older, our social circle naturally gets smaller, so having a regular visit from a Visiting Angel can help with feelings of social isolation or loneliness.

We can also provide companionship services for young people (over the age of 18) who may need help dealing with life changes, attending social events, or disability support.

What are the benefits of companionship support?

Companionship care helps reduce loneliness, lift mood, and promote independence. It encourages confidence inside and outside the home and gives families peace of mind knowing their loved one has a regular, caring visitor who truly understands them.
