The Medway Companionship Care team, here to help every step of the way

We provide companionship visits to older adults throughout Medway, Rochester, Gillingham, Rainham, Walderslade, Higham, and Shorne. From our Chatham High Street office, we arrange visits that last at least an hour, giving time for meaningful activities and conversation. Our Care Professionals don’t wear uniforms – instead, they visit as themselves, helping to build relationships that feel more like a friend or family member. As your local CQC-regulated provider, rated 9.9/10 on homecare.co.uk, we understand that good care starts with taking time to get to know each client’s needs personally.

Why Companionship Care may be right for you

Companionship visits might include sharing interests like gardening, helping with crosswords, reading together, or supporting you to stay active in your community. Our team can help with practical tasks too – whether that’s assistance with opening the post, taking the bins out, or preparing a nutritious lunch together. As one client’s daughter told us: “Dad needed help with taking his medication on time and help in the house after becoming a widow. The Home Instead team have been very helpful and kind and gentle with Dad while he adjusts to being looked after.”

Tailored Companionship Care in Medway

We know welcoming someone new into your home isn’t always easy. That’s why we arrange for you to meet your Care Professional before visits begin – something our clients find particularly reassuring. As one family member shared on homecare.co.uk: “It was arranged for my dad to meet the carer who would be coming before the start of care which reassured him. Care began less than 24 hours after my initial contact.” Our team of 25 Care Professionals means we can carefully match you with someone who shares your interests.
