What we help with
Practical help and good company at home, so older people can keep their independence and families can stop worrying.
Company and conversation
Loneliness is often the first reason families ring. A companion visits regularly, has time to talk, and becomes a familiar face.
- Regular visits at a time that suits
- Someone to share a meal or a walk with
- A link to the outside world
Getting out and about
We drive to appointments, shops, friends and family. You do not need to give up the things that make life enjoyable.
- Lifts to GP, dentist and hospital appointments
- Shopping trips and social visits
- Outings for coffee or a change of scene
Running the home
A tidy, safe home makes a huge difference. We help with the jobs that have become difficult but are not nursing or personal care.
- Light cleaning, laundry and changing beds
- Keeping pathways clear and safe
- Helping with pets and plants
Shopping and paperwork
Errands, letters and bills can feel overwhelming. We help with the practical admin of daily life.
- Shopping and prescription collections
- Posting parcels and returning items
- Helping with letters and forms
Meals
Good food, company at mealtimes, and a fridge with something in it. We prepare simple, nourishing meals.
- Preparing lunch or supper
- Making snacks and drinks
- Batch-cooking favourites to reheat later
Peace of mind
A same-day check-in visit and a short written report to the family, so you know how things are.
- One-hour check-in visits available
- Written report sent the same day
- A quick phone call if anything changes
A break for family carers
Sitting services give family carers a few hours off, knowing their relative is in safe, friendly company.
- Two-hour minimum visits
- Flexible regular or occasional bookings
- Same companion where possible
