Companionship Care
Companionship care helps you continue to do the things you love
Sometimes, it’s the little things that matter most — a friendly chat, a shared laugh, or simply having someone there to check in and brighten your day. That’s exactly what companionship care is all about: offering a warm, familiar presence to those who may not need hands-on care, but would truly benefit from regular visits and genuine connection.
Our companionship care at home is perfect for individuals who want to stay independent but appreciate having a friendly face around — someone who takes an active interest in their wellbeing, shares their hobbies, and offers light support around the home. Whether it’s enjoying a walk, playing a favourite game, or reminiscing over a cup of tea, our companions help make everyday life more enjoyable.
With companionship and home help services, you and your loved ones can keep doing the things you love — with the reassurance that someone caring is right there beside you.
What is companionship care?
Our day-to-day companionship service offers more than just company — it provides connection, reassurance, and a friendly presence you can count on. Whether your loved one lives nearby or further afield, regular visits from a trusted companion can make all the difference to their well-being and peace of mind.
Building a meaningful relationship with a carer can help individuals stay engaged, continue enjoying their favourite activities, and feel more supported in daily life. In addition to companionship, this service includes helpful home support to make everyday tasks easier and more manageable.
Companionship care can include light assistance with:
- Meal preparation
- Laundry and ironing
- Cleaning and tidying
- Caring for pets
- Running errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions
- Arranging appointments and reminders
With companionship care, your loved one doesn’t just get support — they gain a caring, familiar face who brings warmth, conversation, and a helping hand to their daily routine.
Why is companionship important?
Companionship is about more than just having someone nearby — it’s about having someone who truly understands and encourages you. Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to dance, or perhaps you’d love to join a book club and share your passion for reading with others. Whatever your interests or aspirations, our companionship care is here to help you live the life you want, with confidence and joy.
Every Scarlet Care Carer is specially trained to provide not only practical support, but heartfelt companionship. Through our MatchCare service, we carefully pair you with a carer whose personality, interests, and approach to life complement your own someone who feels less like a caregiver and more like a trusted friend.
Because we take the time to truly get to know you, we take pride in making thoughtful matches that lead to meaningful relationships. Our goal is simple: to help you feel more connected, more supported, and empowered to enjoy the things you love — with someone by your side every step of the way.
What are the benefits of companionship care for the elderly?
- Companionship care can make a real difference to an older person’s quality of life — emotionally, mentally, and socially. It helps reduce loneliness, provides uplifting conversation, and offers friendly, day-to-day support.
- With a trusted companion, your loved one can stay engaged in hobbies, maintain local connections, and feel more confident doing the things they enjoy. It also brings peace of mind to family members, knowing someone is regularly checking in.
- Every visit offers flexibility, personal attention, and the chance to build a meaningful relationship — helping your loved one feel supported, valued, and less alone.

Companionship home care for a better life.
According to Age UK, nearly a million older people can go over a month without speaking to anyone. At Scarlet Care, we believe that nobody should have nobody — and for over 25 years, we’ve proudly provided outstanding companionship care to help change that.
Our Scarlet Care Carers can visit once, twice, or as often as you need each week — supporting you in doing the things you enjoy most. Whether it’s a stroll in the park, a trip to the garden centre, or simply a chat over coffee, we’re here to bring warmth, connection, and companionship to your daily life.
Many of the people we support don’t require extensive care — they simply value the comfort of a regular, friendly face. With flexible, person-centred companionship services, we’re committed to helping you stay socially active, emotionally supported, and free to enjoy life on your own terms.
