Companionship

If you or a loved one finds themselves unable to leave the house unaccompanied or you would simply like a nurse or carer to come and keep you company or help with day to day tasks, our companionship service may be an answer.

Social Companion

To enable you to retain your independence, we can provide a nurse or experienced carer as a reassuring companion to accompany you out on shopping trips, to meet friends and socialise, meaning you have someone with you at all times should anything unforeseen happen. Our visits can be arranged at times to suit you and can be anything from a few hours, to a full day.

Assistance getting ready for the day or at bedtimes

If you need support getting ready in the mornings, help out of bed, or assistance getting into bed at night, our staff can arrive in time to help. We can provide as much assistance as you need to help you bathe, dress and wash so you are ready to meet the day, or get a good night’s sleep. Visits are arranged at times you specify and, if you wish, can also include help at mealtimes.

Sitting Service

If you require a little extra company, we can arrange one of our nurses or carers to come into your home and sit with you on a daily or weekly basis or a more ad-hoc arrangement. We are always careful to match our staff as best we can to your situation, to make sure they provide a suitable, welcome company.

Night Sitting

Should you wish our staff to stay with you overnight in case you get into difficulty this can also be arranged. Throughout the evening our staff will be on hand to help you, so you can sleep soundly knowing that you are in safe hands.
