Companionship care provides essential social interaction and emotional support, particularly for those facing loneliness and isolation. Since opening in 2012, we’ve helped thousands across Swindon with companionship services, including engaging conversations, encouraging hobbies, assisting with shopping or prescriptions, accompanying to appointments and transporting individuals to social events. The impact of companionship care on mental well-being and quality of life is profound, especially when family members aren’t nearby. Recognising the growing need for this service, we created the WOW (What’s On When) Guide, highlighting social groups and events for older adults in Swindon and the Vale of White Horse.

Companionship care is often underestimated, but we see it as a crucial part of our service. Visits last at least one hour, with typical sessions ranging from one to four hours, and can be scheduled weekly or daily. Companionship at home allows individuals to stay in familiar surroundings, keeping connections with local groups, friends, and neighbours. We understand that choosing care can be overwhelming, especially when trust is key. Regular visits help build that trust and lay the foundation for future care. Through our matching process, we ensure the Care Professional shares similar interests, making each visit enjoyable and something to look forward to.
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.
