In Richmond, 12% of households are made up of pensioners living alone, a figure that highlights just how many older adults are at risk of loneliness. Whether it’s due to bereavement, reduced mobility, or family living further away, social isolation can creep in quietly and have a profound impact on wellbeing. At Home Instead Richmond, we believe no one should feel alone. That’s why our companionship care offers more than just company; it brings meaningful connection, shared laughter, and familiar faces back into daily life.

The team here at Home Instead Richmond are proud to provide expert home care in Richmond. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
We understand that connection is essential to well-being, especially for older adults living alone, and when you can’t be there all the time. Whether it’s sharing a cup of tea, taking a walk through Kew Gardens, or enjoying the sunshine in Richmond Park, our companionship visits are shaped entirely around the individual. We take the time to match each client with a care professional who shares their interests and personality, helping to create a meaningful and lasting friendship. For many families, this can also be a natural first step into home care, building trust and familiarity with someone they know before practical help is needed. Even just a few visits a week can make a difference in helping your loved one live well at home.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

It’s not uncommon for older adults to lose interest in the things they once enjoyed, especially after losing a loved one. With our companionship care, we’ve helped many of our clients reignite their spark and get back to feeling like themselves. For example, one family reached out to us to support their dad, who was feeling withdrawn following the loss of his wife. We introduced him to a care professional who shared his passion for rugby, and they started watching matches together, even attending a game at Twickenham Stadium. With each visit, his confidence grew. He now enjoys watching rugby with friends at The Sun Inn again, just like he used to.
At Home Instead Richmond, we believe that great companionship care starts with great people. That's why each care professional undergoes comprehensive, industry-leading training and receives ongoing development to ensure they feel confident delivering the highest standards of care. Our commitment hasn't gone unnoticed, we've been named a Top 20 Large & Mid-size Home Care Group by HomeCare.co.uk for the past three years and were placed in the Top 20 for Home Care Groups in 2021. However, it's the everyday dedication of our team that truly sets us apart, and we all strive to go above and beyond in improving the lives of those we support. That same dedication shapes how we help clients stay connected in the wider community too. We believe that companionship care should encourage connection, not just at home, but also in the community, which is why we support our clients in Richmond in taking part in inclusive activities that combat loneliness. For example, Mortlake Hall offers a variety of seated exercise and Tai Chi classes, providing gentle ways to stay active. For those more creative minds, St. John's Centre offers quilting and lacemaking clubs, providing a relaxed space to try something new, showcase their skills, and meet like-minded people. Whether it's accompanying someone to a class or simply offering encouragement to take that first step, our care professionals are there to help clients stay involved, engaged, and part of the world around them.
