Companionship Care at Home

A friendly face when you need it most

What is Companionship Care at Home?

Companionship care is one of our most requested services and is designed to provide emotional support, social interaction and assistance with daily activities to individuals who may be feeling lonely or isolated. Unlike traditional care that focuses on personal care or medical needs, companionship care is all about offering company, building relationships, and encouraging independence. Whether it’s spending time talking, enjoying hobbies together, or accompanying clients to appointments and social outings, companionship carers help improve the mental wellbeing of those they support. This type of care is ideal for older adults or individuals who live alone and may not require physical assistance but value regular human interaction and friendship. Studies show that human interaction can prevent the detrimental effects loneliness can have on a person’s physical and mental health.
