Get in touch Why Companionship Care may be right for you
Our Care Professionals don’t wear uniforms – it feels more natural when popping to the local cafe or enjoying a walk in Verulamium Park together. We believe in doing things ‘with’ rather than ‘for’ our clients, whether that’s baking together, tending to the garden or helping maintain connections with friends and local groups. Each Care Professional is carefully matched with their clients based on shared interests and personalities. The unhurried nature of our visits means there’s always time for a proper chat over a cup of tea or to help with little tasks that make a big difference.
What we do to care for your loved ones
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.
