Tailored Companionship Care in Dartford
Our local companionship care is always tailored to you. For some, this means walks along The Promenade in Gravesend, an accessible walk in Joyden’s Wood, or a visit to Erith Pier. Others enjoy doing the crossword with their Care Professional over a cup of tea. As one client’s daughter shared on homecare.co.uk: “My mum has built up a good rapport with the caregivers and looks forward to their visits. It has been a very positive experience and they always keep me informed about how she is getting on. Excellent service.” We always love to hear how our unhurried visits and thoughtful matching process make all the difference.

This unique combination of community-focused local offices and the resources of a national network enables us to provide personalised, relationship-led care while leading research and innovation that is transforming the experience of aging. Our services include companionship care, personal care, specialist care (including dementia, palliative, and Parkinson’s), and live-in care.
Companionship care focuses on a clients social needs and daily tasks at home whereas personal care is support with daily living such as bathing or dressing.
Primarily our Care Professionals are there to listen and interact with our clients, providing them with a trusted, friendly face that can ease the feelings of isolation and loneliness you or your loved one may feel.
Older adults living alone won’t always need companionship care, it is often most beneficial for individuals who require more social interaction or feel isolated from friends and family.
When you or your loved one need different care and support such as personal care, we will meet with you to ensure you get the support that you need from your Care Professional.
