The Croydon & Dulwich Companionship Care team, here to help every step of the way
Our companionship care in and around Croydon and Dulwich brings warmth to everyday life, with Care Professionals who feel more like friends than carers. We believe real companionship takes time, which is why our visits are never less than an hour. Every Care Professional is carefully chosen not just for their experience, but for their natural ability to connect with older people. They’re all fully employed by us, thoroughly trained, and share our belief that it’s the little moments – a shared cup of tea, a favourite story, or simply being there to listen – that make the biggest difference to someone’s day.

Why Companionship Care may be right for you
We believe companionship should feel natural, which is why our Care Professionals don’t wear uniforms – it’s more like being visited by a trusted friend than a carer. This makes a real difference when enjoying activities together, whether that’s popping to Crystal Palace Park, an outing to the Museum of Croydon, sharing a hobby at home, or visiting a local coffee shop. We focus on doing things with our clients rather than for them, which helps maintain independence and confidence. Having regular, familiar faces means we get to know our clients well and can spot early signs if something isn’t quite right.
