The Barnet Companionship Care team, here to help every step of the way
Throughout the Borough of Barnet, Muswell Hill and Highgate, our companionship care brings joy back into daily life. It’s wonderful to see how a client’s eyes light up when they rediscover old interests or find new ones – something families tell us has helped their loved ones get their spark back. Our Care Professionals take time to understand what brings each person joy, whether that’s morning coffee at a local café, tending to a much loved garden, or sharing stories over a slice of cake. With our one-hour minimum visits, there’s never any rush, allowing natural bonds to develop – something that shows in our outstanding 9.4/10 review score from families on homecare.co.uk.

Each Care Professional is carefully chosen for their warm personalities and interesting life experiences, then fully trained and employed by us with thorough background checks. Many have been with us for years and love what they do – we know happy and valued Care Professionals make the biggest difference in our clients’ lives.

Tailored Companionship Care in Barnet
The genuine impact of companionship shines through in our clients’ experiences. As recently shared on homecare.co.uk, one client’s son noted: “Home Instead provided my mum with first rate, kind and competent carers who would always go the extra mile to look after her and cater for her needs. The carers very quickly became our friends and put their heart and soul into looking after my mum – it was obviously their pleasure to do so and was not ‘just a job’.” These kind words reflect how our team goes above and beyond to care for our clients.
