The Retford & Gainsborough Companionship Care team, here to help every step of the way

Companionship care is such a key aspect of our offering, as whatever your hobbies and interests may be, we are able to find a matching Care Professional who can support your loved one and, over time, become their companion. The Care Professional is carefully matched, and they aim to spend quality time with your loved one so they can keep active, have someone to socialise with, build confidence around the house or encourage going out and about in Ordsall or Hallcroft. Companionship care is massively important to reduce loneliness and social isolation, both of which we are passionate about reducing through our companionship care offering.

Why Companionship Care may be right for you

There are many benefits of companionship care, but a big one is the serious effect loneliness can have on a person’s health, so through our offering, we can reduce the chances of this. If your loved one is receiving companionship care from our Care Professionals, it gives family members peace of mind knowing their loved one has company from a trusted and friendly face. Companionship care is a great way of introducing care at home, as not everyone can adjust straight away. If your loved one starts with companionship care, when the time comes and they require more support, the transition is easier knowing it is someone your loved one knows and trusts.

Tailored Companionship Care in Retford & Gainsborough

C B, whose sister receives daily home care visits from Home Instead, shared on homecare.co.uk how reassuring the service has been. She explained that her sister’s Care Professionals visit once a day, providing support that allows her to stay safe and independent at home. C B said it is “a huge comfort” knowing her sister is well cared for, even from a distance, and that the carers provide “friendly companionship” every day. This kind of thoughtful, relationship-focused approach is what makes Home Instead’s companionship care so valued by families across East Markham, Tuxford and the surrounding villages. It is the genuine support we provide that brings comfort, company and reassurance into everyday life.
