The Renfrewshire and Barrhead Companionship Care team, here to help every step of the way
Life is better when shared with good company – that’s why we offer companionship care visits across Paisley, Bishopton, Linwood and throughout Renfrewshire and Barrhead. Our one-hour minimum visits give plenty of time to really get to know each client personally and tailor our care to their needs and unique preferences – whether that’s sharing a cup of tea, working on a hobby together, or enjoying a trip to popular spots loved by our clients such as the Barshaw Park Community Garden in Paisley, where we have our own Home Instead plot. Recognised among Scotland’s Top 20 Home Care Providers with a 9.9/10 rating on homecare.co.uk, we carefully match clients with Care Professionals who share their interests and understand what matters to them.

Why Companionship Care may be right for you
Supporting independence means doing things with you, not for you – from tending to plants bought at the garden centre, to enjoying a coffee in one of your favourite local cafes, such as Familia Cafe in Renfrew where we hold our monthly client get together. We can also help our clients reconnect with others who have shared histories and interests, from working life in Renfrewshire’s textiles and shipbuilding or staying engaged with favourite sports, hobbies and groups. Our Care Professionals don’t wear uniforms, making outings feel natural and relaxed – more like spending time with a friend. These regular visits help maintain independence while giving family members peace of mind.

I was very happy with the Home Instead team who provided care for my 93 year old mother. I was pleased that their care helped her to stay in her own home and also gave me peace of mind. I was particularly impressed that the care provided was kind and thoughtful and there was never a feeling that someone was just doing a job. Mum was treated with dignity and respect and a desire to help find ways to improve the difficulties she was dealing with. I found that the office staff were pleasant and helpful and were responsive to any requests. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Home Instead.J.G. (Daughter)
