Our Companionship Care brings genuine friendship and support to people across Ipswich, Felixstowe and Woodbridge. As a CQC-regulated and Outstanding-rated provider, an achievement earned by less than 5% of home care companies, quality is at the heart of what we do. Unlike typical 20-minute care visits common in Suffolk, we spend at least an hour with each client. Our Care Professionals don't wear uniforms, they're more like trusted friends who happen to be professionally trained. This family-like approach, combined with our top-rated client satisfaction score on homecare.co.uk, shows how our focus on building genuine relationships makes a real difference.

Our companionship service delivers more than just social connection. Care Professionals help with practical tasks while spending time together – preparing lunch, tidying the garden, or heading out for coffee at a favourite local cafe in either Felixstowe, Woodbridge or Ipswich. Many clients tell us these visits are the highlight of their week. As one client shared: “Their cheerful faces at the door always lift my spirits. The help they provide makes it possible for me to live a near-normal life.”
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.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

Our Care Professionals come from all walks of life, with many choosing a career in care after successful careers in other fields. This brings a wealth of life experience to our team, from former teachers and nurses to business professionals who want to give back to their community. As both a Living Wage and Age-Friendly employer, we value this diversity of experience. Every team member completes comprehensive training, including City & Guilds assured courses in dementia. Being directly employed and DBS checked, our Care Professionals provide families with complete peace of mind about the quality of care their loved ones receive. That same diversity of experience shapes how we connect with the wider community too. Our companionship service extends beyond home visits through our community initiatives. Care Professionals often accompany clients to our Memory Lane groups, where engaging activities and music sessions create natural opportunities for socialising. Whether it's joining the friendly gatherings at Trimley St Martin Memorial Hall, our dementia friendly golf sessions in partnership with Seckford Golf Club, or enjoying the welcoming atmosphere of our dementia café at The Cherry Tree Inn in Woodbridge, these social connections can support well-being in our clients' lives. We're active on Facebook so please follow us to learn more about our upcoming events.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
