The Richmond Companionship Care team, here to help every step of the way
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. As Richmond’s first and only home care provider rated Outstanding by the CQC, we’re trusted to help older adults continue living comfortably and independently at home.

Get in touch Why Companionship Care may be right for you
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.

“Delightful, kind and empathetic carers, who have established a warm and responsive relationship with our mother.”

They have met and indeed surpassed my expectations: their whole approach has been professional yet caring and sensitive, the whole process of assessing and providing care has been superb.
Matt S
Home Instead Richmond’s care of my aunt has been absolutely fantastic on all fronts – both from the carers and from management. They have looked after my aunt’s needs as if she were one of their own family. Such reassurance is indeed priceless.
Andrew M
I have felt fully supported throughout the process and everyone who was involved in my mother’s care has been incredibly kind, efficient and empathetic. My mother was beautifully looked after, I cannot recommend Home Instead highly enough.

They go the extra mile when you need them to whether it is for a sudden illness, hospital stay or need to change the care plan. They really do mean it when they say they put their clients first.

Tailored Companionship Care in Richmond
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.
