The Slough Companionship Care team, here to help every step of the way
At Home Instead Slough our care is centered around companionship care as part of your package. Many people think of care when they need help with personal care or medication, however most of our services are companionship based which involves someone to give you company with activities you like doing or need to do. This can be coming to have a cup of tea and a chat or accompanying you to an appointment. Our relationship led companionship care at home enables people to access community services with support or generally prevent isolation. Socializing is important for older people who are more at risk of isolation due to bereavement or living alone. Our team are great at making you feel like you are part of our Home Instead family.

Get in touch Why Companionship Care may be right for you
Matching the right care professional to your personality and requirements is key for our service as this improves your outcomes. Consistency will improve your wellbeing so you can form a great relationship with the care professional who can understand your needs and fulfill them. Therefore, you will not have to explain things to different care professionals all the time. Our minimum 1-hour visit time allows the care professional to have the opportunity for a chat and give you the companionship that is much needed. We offer care that is not rushed or task focused because to us it’s personal. Our care professionals are always introduced to our clients before care commences so that both feel comfortable, and you know who will be visiting.

This service was required to help my mother following a shoulder fracture. The carers were excellent, always punctual, very cheerful and helpful, and very experienced. We are very happy with the excellent service and will call on them if needed in the future.
Pamela S- Client
The quality of training provided, both online and in person is great. I particularly like the style in which clients are chosen. Our profiles are matched using our personal interests, language location etc and we are given the chance to meet the client prior to our first visit which helps build a relationship and gives us a chance to get to know the client better.
Anam R- Care Professional
I feel supported when it comes to the managers, they help a lot where needed, if I have any issues I know where to go and who to ask. They have made me feel like part of their family. I am really happy with the way they have supported me.
Ghazala A- Care Professional
The company values and ethos is expressed through the positive outlook and inclusive culture I have seen in the many people I have met who work for Home Instead. I am extremely proud to work for Home Instead and I would recommend any client who is looking for the best person-centred care to join without delay.
Anna- Care Manager
I’ve had several care companies for my parents who have been disappointing. I asked for recommendations and was blown away by about five recommendations for Home Instead. I found they actually listened and have been so responsive and wanted to help. It’s so refreshing and I can highly recommend them enough. Thank you for caring!
Julia S- Client
Home Instead (Slough) approach was different and reassuring (matching the client with the Carer and providing consistency). They have been outstanding. My mother’s health deteriorated soon after we had engaged with Home Instead and, as her condition has worsened, the level of care has become more complex and demanding. The Carers themselves, without exception.
