Companion Care & Social Support
Sometimes care and support isn’t about a complex medical need or essential personal care tasks, but rather living the life that you want, doing the things you love and feeling as human as possible.
Handle with care recognise the value of having a familiar face popping in. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that mean the most, which is perhaps why our companion visits are one of our most popular services. In fact, studies have shown companionship can help to avoid loneliness and have a great impact on your mental and physical wellbeing.
There may be times when you just need a little bit of extra support or even just company. Our care staff are armed with a friendly smile, a listening ear and make the best cuppa’s.
Perhaps you need some help to visit your friends or family, or perhaps you’d like to go for lunch or visit the local shops? This service enables you to have a fulfilling life in your own home and local community.
It's your choice how much of a companionship visit you like and how often. We can help you make new connections, take you to a local club or help you feel more connected to your local community.
A companion can help with meal prep, laundry, cleaning, caring for pets, running errands, collecting prescriptions and arranging appointments on your behalf.
