At Home Instead in Cornwall, companionship care is at the heart of everything we do. Unlike many domiciliary care providers who focus only on tasks, our dedicated Care Professionals take the time to build meaningful relationships, offering company, support, conversation, and a friendly presence to our clients every day. We understand the needs of the over-65s living alone in St Austell, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Fowey and surrounding areas - estimated at over 14,000 people who benefit from regular social contact and personalised care. Colin from Bodmin says, “I really enjoy seeing Caroline and Joyce each week. We chat and go for walks in Cardinham or Lanhydrock. I stopped driving last year, and I’m so glad my daughter arranged this care.”

Home Instead Companionship Care helps people living alone enjoy social interaction, maintain independence, and continue doing the activities they love. We carefully match our Care Professionals so they have the right training, experience, and personality to support each client. Olive in Fowey has always loved baking, but was struggling as her memory declined. Our Care Professional Fiona stepped in to help with tasks Olive found difficult, allowing her to rediscover her passion for baking. Companionship Care can also involve getting out and about locally, visiting the stunning gardens at Heligan near Mevagissey or exploring the Eden Project in St Blazey. In Wadebridge, trips to The John Betjeman Centre are a firm favourite.

It’s often the small, everyday moments that make life meaningful - a chat over tea, a gentle walk, or sharing stories with someone who truly listens. For many older people across Wadebridge, Fowey, Lostwithiel and St Austell, loneliness can quietly affect wellbeing and independence. Regular companionship care lifts spirits, helps slow the effects of Dementia, maintains mental sharpness, and reduces frailty by keeping people active and socially engaged. We learn a person’s life story, routines, and hobbies so our Care Professionals can provide support that feels familiar and personal. Jemima accompanies May to her weekly Italian class at The John Betjeman Centre, helping her enjoy friendships and continue doing the things she loves most.
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.

At Home Instead, companionship care is at the heart of everything we do. While our Care Professionals are thoroughly trained in a wide range of tasks, companionship is the most important support we provide. This can be a couple of hours a week when care first begins, or several hours a day alongside other services such as Personal Care or Palliative Care. Our dedicated team keeps in regular contact with clients and their families, supporting and guiding Care Professionals to deliver the highest standard of care. Regular quality assurance visits and service reviews ensure we respond quickly to any changes in client needs, helping people remain safe, independent, and connected in St Austell, Bodmin, Fowey, and Wadebridge. That same regular contact helps us stay connected to the wider community too. Life in Cornwall is full of opportunities to stay connected, active, and supported, with many local initiatives helping people living with memory loss, loneliness, or conditions like cancer and chronic pain. These include our Guide to Memory Cafes in Mid Cornwall, offering supportive meet-ups for those with memory challenges, along with Cancer Support Groups providing friendly advice and social support in St Austell, Bodmin, Lostwithiel, St Dennis and Wadebridge. Memory Matters offers fun and therapeutic approaches to memory loss, while the John Betjeman Centre in Wadebridge provides engaging activities for all ages, and Cornubia brings community creativity to Par, St Blazey and Tywardreath. These groups bring companionship, enjoyment, and confidence to local people and their families every day.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
