Tailored Companionship Care in Epping Forest

Companionship care solves more than just the issue of isolation; it offers the chance to build a balanced, fulfilling daily life. During an initial consultation, we’ll sit down to talk through what your loved one enjoys, from hobbies and routines to any particular needs. Together, we’ll create a plan that could match you with our Care Professional Steve if you share his love of chess, or include everything from trips to the Bantham and Ongar Bowls Club to attending local events or simply spending time in the garden. For example, our client Betty loves going to the local library, and her Care Professional joins her each week, supporting her to stay active and independent.
