Get in touch Why Companionship Care may be right for you
Having unhurried, hour-long visits (minimum) means there’s always time for what matters – whether that’s enjoying morning coffee while planning the day, tending to treasured houseplants, or heading out to watch the boats at Esplanade Cafe. Our Care Professionals arrive without uniforms, making outings to places like Cardwell Garden Centre or shopping in town feel natural and relaxed. Every visit focuses on doing things together, keeping skills sharp and independence strong.
What we do to care for your loved ones
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 a unique mix of services to meet your needs.

My dad had always been very independent and prided himself on this, however, he was finding some household tasks more and more challenging. Fortunately, we found Home Instead who professionally worked with us to put together the ideal care support tailored for Dad’s needs. The carers are just lovely and most importantly care, they take time to get to know Dad and what makes him happy. Dad has not only put on weight, he looks forward to his daily visits and this has developed into outings for coffee, shopping and even a haircut. It has been such a positive experience not only for my dad but also for myself. Living at a distance I was only able to visit a couple of times a week. I was worried and uptight about how he was coping on his own. Now it is a delight to see him so happy, fit and positive. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed it. We couldn’t recommend Home Instead more highly or be more pleased with the care.
Feedback from client's daughter
Tailored Companionship Care in Inverclyde and North Ayrshire
A daughter recently shared on homecare.co.uk: “We truly appreciate the care, support and kindness given to our mum, by Home Instead, when she was in need. Home Instead gave us a lifeline and was vital in keeping our mum in her own home for as long as possible. In particular, we thank the care pros for their excellent work. Caring is such an important role and not recognised enough. We will forever be grateful.” These natural friendships blossom because we take time to match Care Professionals who share genuine interests with their clients, creating connections that brighten each day.
