What's included in our companionship care
-
Our companionship support is entirely flexible and delivered through personalized home visits, revolving around what makes you feel happiest and most connected. Here is how we can help:
-
Meaningful conversation We take the time to listen and talk, sharing stories and news to keep your mind active and engaged.

Shared hobbies and activities Whether you enjoy gardening, puzzles, or listening to music, we are there to participate and make your interests more enjoyable.

Accompaniment on outings We can help you get out and about—whether it is a trip to the local shops, a visit to a garden centre, or attending a community group.
-
Help with letters and technology Our team can assist you in staying in touch with loved ones, from writing cards to helping you use a tablet for video calls.
-
Light errands and shopping We can help with the weekly shop or pick up a prescription, taking the stress out of those essential small tasks.
-
Emotional reassurance Having a regular, trusted carer visiting your home provides a sense of security and belonging for both you and your family.
Personalised support that fits your routine
From your initial call, our experienced team will take the time to understand your situation, answer your questions and explain how Excellent Care can support you. We will send you a detailed information pack and, if you choose to proceed, arrange a face-to-face meeting in the client’s home. This allows us to get to know the client and their family, assess their needs and discuss a personalised Care and Support Plan, including risk and medication assessments and a proposed schedule of visits. We can usually have a home-care package in place within seven to ten days.
We will then carefully match the client with carers who are well suited to their individual needs and personality, prioritising continuity by providing the same small team wherever possible. Before regular visits begin, the Care Manager will introduce the client, family and carers at the client’s home. After each visit, carers will update our care management platform so the family can stay informed, while the dedicated Care Manager provides ongoing support and regularly reviews the care plan. If the match is ever not quite right, we will work with you to find a suitable alternative.
