Companionship care is the most important thing to us at Home Instead Mid Cornwall. Whilst most domiciliary care companies focus on task, our Care Professionals at Home Instead have time to build a good relationship with our clients and enjoy each other’s company.
We estimate over 14,000 people over the age over 65 live alone in St Austell , Bodmin, Wadebridge and Fowey and surrounding areas.
Colin in Bodmin told us “I really enjoy seeing Caroline and Joyce in the week. We have a chat and go out for a walk in Cardinam or Lanhydrock if the weather is good. I stopped driving last year and was becoming housebound. My daughter arranged it all, and I’m so glad she did”.

Home Instead Companionship Care helps a person living alone to enjoy social interaction and continue to do the things they enjoy.
We carefully match Care Professionals, so they have the right training and personality to help people. Olive in Fowey has always loved to bake, but was struggling to manage it now her memory wasn’t working quite as well. Our Care professional Fiona helped her by stepping in with the things Olive couldn’t manage and she was able to rediscover her love of baking.
Companionship Care can be getting active in the area to see one of the wonderful gardens such as Heligan near Mevagissey or the Eden Project in St Blazey. In Wadebridge , the café in the The John Betjeman Centre is a favourite.
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.

Loneliness is a real issue for older people in our community. Conditions such as Dementia progress more quickly if a person loses social interaction. Frailty and mobility can be reduced in risk if a person keeps active.
During our care consultation, we gather information about a person’s life so far and what they wish for the future. We build a detailed care plan about this, daily routine, activities they enjoy and food and drink they like to have. This information helps a Care Professional prepare for their first visit so they can provide what the client is looking for.

We train thoroughly around care tasks as well to prepare our Care professionals to look after a wide range of people, companionship care is really the most important support we provide. This can be a couple of hours a week at the start of a persons care need or several hours a day as part of other care services when providing palliative care.

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.
Enable your loved ones to continue to live their life with the support of the Mid Cornwall team.
