Companionship
Sometimes care and support isn’t about a complex medical need or essential personal care tasks, but rather living the life that you want, doing the things you love and feeling as human as possible.
Companionship care is a type of home care service designed for individuals who may be at risk of loneliness or who have been experiencing loneliness for some time. A caregiver will visit the person’s home and spend time with them, providing company and emotional support.
Your companion is there to be a friendly face and provide fun, compassionate companionship throughout the week
A companion can prepare your favourite meals for you at the times that you decide, and can also sit and share the meal with you
If you’re finding you need a bit of extra assistance with the shopping, a companion can either collect it for you or accompany you to the shops
Travelling long distances can seem a daunting prospect, but your companion can help you plan your journey – as well as accompanying you
As well as providing friendly companionship, your carer can also help out around the home with domestic tasks such as cleaning and laundry
Whether they’re plumping your pillows, adjusting the heating or tidying things up, your companion can help ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed

Every Graceden Healthcare Services customer has a special story. Here are some of our favourite examples of how our support is making a difference to people’s lives:
Companionship services can be a great option for those of all ages, including younger people.
Going through personal or physical changes in life can often be overwhelming, but our companionship carers double up as physical support, and a friend when you need them. Companionship services can be a vital source of support for young people during what can often be a very busy and unpredictable period of a person’s life.
Whilst all of our carers are expertly trained to provide a wide range of support services to people with varying requirements, companionship care is a bit different from regular care.
With companionship care, rather than the focus being on supporting your practical needs, you’ll instead have a trusted companion who will be there to help you remain socially engaged in your own home – as well as accompanying you out and about to see friends and family or visit your favourite places.
Companionship care helps you to continue maintaining a happy, independent and stimulating lifestyle.

For an elderly person, a live-in companion can be both a source of valued friendship and essential practical support. If your elderly loved one is living alone, a live-in companionship carer can provide round-the-clock elderly care and security whilst also being a trusted friend.
Companionship care can be a great option for elderly people who would simply benefit from having someone to talk to or share their hobbies with throughout the week. Whether it’s stopping by for a cup of tea and a chat, or helping you get out and about, our friendly companions can enable your independence.
Whilst companionship care doesn’t exclusively have to involve companionship, the main aim of it is generally to provide emotional support, whilst personal care is more aimed at providing physical support services such as bathing, toileting, dressing and medical help.
