Companionship and personal care

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 each day, our companionship service may be an answer.

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, visits or to meet friends and socialise, meaning you have someone with you at all times should anything unforeseen happen. Again, you can arrange for our staff to visit at times to suit you, on a regular or more ad-hoc basis.

If you are finding it increasingly demanding getting up and ready for the day, we can provide experienced, compassionate staff to provide a little extra assistance. Booked at times to suit you, our staff will help you out of bed, assist you with washing and dressing to make sure that your energy levels are saved to enjoy the day!

Similarly, if getting undressed and into bed is becoming increasingly difficult, we can provide supportive help at times to suit you.

We can arrange one of our nurses or carers to come into your home and sit with you from anything from an hour upwards, this can be 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.

Should you wish our staff to stay with you overnight in case you get into difficulty during the night, this can also be arranged. Through the evening, they will be on hand to respond up to twice, after which the evening will be charged at the over-night, live in rate.

Often when you are a little under the weather there is no better feeling than a nice relaxing bath, leaving you feeling clean and recharged. Our carers can be booked at any time during the day to help you relax and enjoy a bath. They will help you into and out of the bath and get you dry and dressed afterwards, preserving your privacy and dignity at all times but will be close by throughout, should you require them.
