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.
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.
