For us, companionship care is about building real connections that lift loneliness and keep spirits high. We know the importance of consistency and familiarity. We match clients with the same Care Professional, making each visit something to look forward to. Every visit is unhurried, with room for meaningful chats, shared laughs, and even a little adventure – whether that’s a favourite game or an outing to Jarrolds department store. Our Care Professionals don’t wear uniforms, so they look like friends, not formal carers, a small touch that makes a world of difference.
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.
Companionship care
We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep
Keeping the home environment clean, safe, and nourishing with home-cooked meals.
Personal care
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, always respecting the dignity of your loved one.
Mobility support
Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.
Health appointment management
We support you to attend those important health appointments.
Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.
Transportation
Assistance getting you from A to B, whether it be to go visit a friend or help with your shopping.
Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
Our companionship care at home is tailored to your needs, and helps your loved one feel confident and connected, whether it’s attending appointments, enjoying the garden, or spending time together. Many families notice their loved ones re-engaging with life, finding that “sparkle” again. One client, after losing her husband, now enjoys outings to Wroxham and Taverham garden centre, or staying in to bake. Another client, who feels low without her daily city visits, appreciates support with appointments and shopping, restoring her independence. Each visit brings companionship and a friendly face to brighten their week.
