Why Companionship Care may be right for you

For many families in Ivybridge, Plympton, Plymstock and the South Hams, companionship care at home is the best way to support a loved one’s wellbeing while helping them remain independent. Unlike occasional visits or group settings, companionship home care provides one-to-one attention from one of our Care Professionals who is carefully matched to share interests and routines. This means your loved one can enjoy everyday activities, whether it’s going out for coffee, trying new hobbies, or simply having a friendly face to chat with. With our Outstanding CQC rating, 10/10 reviews, and dedicated local team, we offer companionship care that adapts as needs change, giving families peace of mind.
