Get in touch Why Companionship Care may be right for you
Companionship care is an ideal option for many older people as it goes beyond basic care tasks, focusing on emotional well-being and social engagement. For those people who might feel isolated, companionship care can provide much needed interaction and be the catalyst for other activities. This type of care not only supports physical needs but promotes dignity and enables clients to remain comfortably in their own homes. By staying in tune with our clients’ unique needs and preferences, Home Instead Newcastle Upon Tyne provides care that is responsive, reliable and well-suited to the changing needs of our local community. This adaptive approach has made us a Newcastle Top 10 Home Care Company, seven years running.

Our Care Professional has transformed my mum’s life and she will often go that extra mile and what I consider to be above and beyond her role title and has shown great compassion for my parents. I have complete confidence in her ability and I would not hesitate to recommend both her and Home Instead as a provider of care.
Ian Dey (Son of Client)
We would like to thank Home Instead for helping us to support our mother. This support is ensuring that she can remain in her own home where she wants to be. The professional carers are patient, kind and thoughtful. The admin team are excellent – nothing is too much trouble, even when I get dates mixed up. Everything is done with a smile. Please pass on our sincere thanks to all the team members involved in caring for Mum. Gold stars all round!
SB (Daughter of Client)
We have been using Home Instead for several years. The care has been excellent with very high standards. Alongside caring for my dad, they provided companionship. A big plus is that they have low turnover of staff so my dad sees familiar faces which is important. Communication is excellent and frequent.
