Why Choose Home Instead New Forest for Companionship in Lymington?
Home Instead in the New Forest was established by Tim and Hannah Oswald, driven by their shared desire to provide high-quality care within their local community. They are both privileged and excited to bring Home Instead to the area. The dedicated team of Care Professionals delivers not only support but also compassionate companionship that promotes emotional wellbeing and supports a more independent life at home.
We’re proud to be regulated by the Care Quality Commission and recognised for our excellent care across Lymington, Totton, New Milton, Milford on Sea, Barton on Sea, and Lyndhurst. We offer a wide service area and a consistently friendly service that makes us a trusted name in the region.
What Is Companionship Care?
Companionship care focuses on emotional connection and practical assistance. It’s ideal for elderly people who may live alone or feel isolated, providing consistent, meaningful interaction that supports mental stimulation, social engagement, and daily enjoyment.
Whether your loved one lives independently or with support at home, companionship can significantly enhance their quality of life.
Our companionship care includes:
- Friendly conversation and social interaction
- Assistance with daily tasks and household chores
- Support with hobbies and stimulating activities
- Accompaniment to medical appointments and hospital visits
- Participation in social events and community activities
- Company on walks, such as local Healthy Walks with Volunteer Walk Leaders
- Help with online activity, online shopping or grocery shopping
Personalised Companionship Care Plans
Every individual is unique—and so is their care plan. Our personalised care plans ensure that every client receives the level of care that suits their preferences, lifestyle, and any medical condition or complex condition they may have.
Whether it’s a few hours per day or a live-in carer providing round-the-clock support, our flexible services are built around your needs. Our plans are designed to adapt, from initial companionship care to additional services such as personal care, medication management, foot care, continence care, and oral hygiene.
Staying Active and Engaged in Lymington
We believe that every day offers a chance for joy and connection. That’s why our companionship care encourages participation in daily activities, leisure activities, and community events.
Your loved one might enjoy:
- Visiting the Musical Moments Group for music therapy and fun
- Attending lunch clubs or the Chitter Chatter Club for sociable dining and chat
- Joining a Social Club or participating in activity groups suitable for their interests
- Exploring the local area with our carers, perhaps a walk to the quay or a stop at East Boldre Community Stores
Such outings not only support physical health but offer crucial mental stimulation and emotional satisfaction.
More Than a Visit: Comprehensive Companionship Options
Visiting Companionship
Perfect for those needing support a few times a week, our visiting companionship ranges from 30-minute check-ins to several hours per visit. It’s ideal for social interaction, encouragement with daily tasks, and help attending community events or medical appointments.
Live-In Companionship
For those who require or prefer consistent company, our live-in care service provides full-time support from a matched caregiver. This is especially beneficial for individuals with a complex condition, disability, or mental health conditions who may feel safer and more supported with 24-hour care.
Overnight Care and Respite
We also offer overnight care for reassurance during the night, and respite options to allow family carers to take a well-deserved break—knowing their loved one is in expert hands.
Funding, Guidance, and Peace of Mind
We provide clear, practical guidance on all aspects of care funding, including:
- Attendance Allowance
- Local authority assessments and direct payments
- Private funding and access to extra care packages
- NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) eligibility
- Advice on Blue Badge applications and accessibility
Our team is here to reduce the stress of organising care—so you can focus on your loved one’s wellbeing.
