National studies suggest there are around 6,000 older people who feel lonely often or always in Gloucestershire. Areas of Cinderford, Lydney and Gloucester are amongst those with the highest proportion of people over 65 living alone. At Home Instead Gloucester and The Forest of Dean, we’re committed to combatting social isolation and loneliness by providing companionship care to those who need a helping hand.
Companionship plays a critical role in enhancing overall wellbeing and quality of life for older adults and helps reduce the risk of depression, anxiety or even cognitive decline. With companionship care, stories are shared, experiences are created and memories are made.

Companionship is essential to reducing the risk of loneliness. Whether it’s taking the time to sit and have a cup of tea, participating in your favourite hobby, going out for a drive or booking a day trip, our Care Professionals are there to do it alongside you.
Companionship care can also provide a break for family caregivers, allowing them the time to step away while a trained and trusted Care Professional spends time with their loved one. This greatly helps in combatting loneliness not just for our clients, but also for their caregivers, as research suggests that 8/10 carers in Gloucestershire have felt lonely or socially isolated as a result of their care giving responsibilities.
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of of a unique mix services to meet your needs.
