Why Companionship Care may be right for you
We believe great companionship starts with genuine interest and understanding. That’s why we tailor each visit to reflect the individual, supporting favourite hobbies, revisiting old memories, or exploring new ones together. Some clients enjoy creative activities like art or music, while others prefer conversation, walks in the garden, or flicking through photo albums with someone who’ll take the time to listen. Whether we’re helping someone regain confidence after a hospital stay or simply keeping them socially active, our companionship care is rooted in warmth, respect, and the freedom to be yourself.

The excellent care my Mum received from all the caregivers allowed her to be in her own home for longer than we could have hoped. The sensitivity shown to her growing needs through dementia was greatly appreciated. We had real peace of mind that she was well looked after by a regular team of carers. The communication with office staff certainly made things run smoothly.Fiona D - daughter of client in Southport
Home Instead have been an absolute Godsend to our family. All through lockdown they never let us down. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff in the office and on the ground are always helpful, supportive, reliable, caring and respectful. I would highly recommend their care.Linda T - Daughter of client in Southport.
Home Instead Southport have proved invaluable over the last two and a half years. Dad always wanted to stay in the house that he moved to in 1971 – the home in which he and Mum raised the family. With the support of his lovely Caregivers, Dad managed to do this until the week before he died – aged 98. I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead Southport.K R - Daughter of client in Southport.
The service my father received form Home Instead Southport was life-changing. Since he started receiving a morning visit each day, his physical and mental health has markedly improved, so after two years of care, he seems two years younger. The care was reliable and tailored to what he needed, and the carers were kind, competent and fun.G C - Son of client in Southport.
It was wonderful, it was a load off my mind. Thank you very much.L M - Client in Southport

A whole hour of top-class care makes Home Instead far superior.” Another client’s daughter shared: “With their help, Mum was able to live at home, which is what she wanted. The ladies in the office also supported and advised me through it all.” These words reflect what matters most – knowing someone is not only cared for, but understood and valued.
