The Oxford Companionship Care team, here to help every step of the way
Companionship care has been a core part of our services since 2010, supporting thousands in Oxford and West Oxfordshire. It offers crucial social interaction and emotional support, especially for those who are lonely or isolated, particularly when family aren’t nearby. Activities like exploring hobbies, attending appointments, shopping, sharing memories, and doing puzzles are key aspects of companionship care, greatly improving mental health and quality of life. In response to increased demand, we created the WOW (What’s on When) Guide, featuring events and social groups for older people in Oxford and the surrounding areas. Many of our Care Professionals help clients attend these groups, giving them something to look forward to weekly.

Why Companionship Care may be right for you
Companionship care is a vital part of our service, though often overlooked. We offer visits lasting at least one hour, typically ranging from one to four hours, and they can be scheduled as often as needed – whether weekly or daily. Staying connected with the community, friends and neighbours is important to many older adults and companionship care helps maintain this connection while staying in their own home. We know finding the right care can be overwhelming, especially when trust is crucial. Regular companionship care builds trust and provides strong foundations for any future care needs. Through our matching process, we ensure that each Care Professional shares your interests, making every visit enjoyable and enhancing quality of life.
What we do to care for your loved ones
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.

We chose Home Instead as my father wants to stay in his home whilst coping with the onset of dementia. As a family, we believe that this is preferable to going into a home and Home Instead have the expertise and experience to make this work.

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.
