Sometimes daily life can feel a little quieter than it used to. That’s why our companionship care across South Derbyshire focuses on bringing connection and joy back into each day. From our Swadlincote office, we carefully match people with our local Care Professionals who share their interests and hobbies. Our team doesn’t wear uniforms, making trips to a local garden centre or sharing stories over tea feel more like a friend or family member is visiting. Families often tell us they see a real difference – how their loved ones rediscover old interests and that familiar spark returns. It’s this genuine approach to friendship that helps maintain both independence and wellbeing.

“My mum receives a good level of care from Home Instead,” shares R P on homecare.co.uk. “She enjoys her daily visits not only with the support given but also the company of having someone to chat to.” Another client’s daughter notes how her mother “likes her carers, they chat to her and sing with her,” highlighting the genuine friendships that develop. These natural connections make companionship care feel less like support and more like spending time with a trusted friend.
