Companionship Care That Keeps Life Connected

Regular company, real conversation, and a familiar face that turns up when it says it will.

Is this the right support?

Companionship care is for people who are managing physically but spending far too much time alone. It is often the service families feel slightly awkward asking about — as though company is less legitimate than personal care. It is not.

It suits someone who has stopped going out since a bereavement, someone whose family lives hours away, or someone who simply finds the days very long. It also works well as a gentle first step, before more hands-on care is needed.

How we can help

  • Conversation and company — proper time, not a doorstep chat.
  • Shared activities — cards, puzzles, photographs, music, the garden.
  • Getting out — a walk, the shops, a café, an appointment, where appropriate.
  • Keeping in touch — help with phone calls or video calls to family.
  • A light hand around the house — a tidy-up, a meal, a load of washing on.
  • A reliable check-in — someone who will notice if something has changed.

For you and your family

What that means in practice

The difference this makes for the person receiving care — and for the family around them.

Loneliness is a real problem

Long stretches alone affect mood, appetite, motivation and confidence. Regular company is not a luxury add-on — for a lot of people it is the thing that helps most.

Something in the diary

A visit at a known time gives the week a shape. It is surprising how much difference having something to expect can make.

A second pair of eyes

Someone visiting regularly notices the things a weekly phone call misses — a fall, a change in appetite, post piling up, a bill unopened.

Being clear about what we do

Companionship visits are booked in the same visit lengths and at the same published rates as our other care calls. Where a visit involves going out, we will agree the practical details with you in advance — including anything you would need to cover, such as an entrance fee or a bus fare — so nothing is a surprise.

Local to you

Companionship Care in Burton & Swadlincote

We deliver this service from our base at Bretby Business Park, which sits between Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote. In practice that means short journeys, a team that knows the local roads, and an office you could actually visit.

Coverage across the surrounding villages depends on where our team is working on a given day, so please ask us about your specific address rather than assuming either way.

What families say

Given to Luxuricare directly

David HorneBurton upon Trent

“Lyndsey formed a lovely relationship with my Dad and was kind and supportive with my Mum despite Mums mood swings and increasing aggressive behaviour. She was always reassuring and kept me well informed, appreciating my difficulties following surgery and not living locally. Her professional manner helped me make difficult decisions when it became apparent my parents needs couldn’t be met in their home.

“I cant thank my dads amazing carers enough for all they do for him and my mum & the massive help they are to me. Today they have taken my dad on his birthday trip to Twycross zoo. he’s been so excited and is having the best time with them these ladies didn’t have to do this they wanted to because they care.”

IanBurton upon Trent

“The gentleman pictured is my uncle. It’s been a rough 12 months, diagnosed with Parkinson’s and lost his wife of 52 years in January. Lyndsey was introduced to myself and my uncle around 10 months ago and it’s difficult to put into words how positive her impact has been. It isn’t just ‘care’ but ‘caring’.

Questions about companionship care

How long should a companionship visit be?

Most people find 45 minutes or an hour works better than a short call — company needs a bit of time to be worth having. Those visits are £27 and £31.50 respectively.

Can the same person visit each week?

Continuity matters more here than almost anywhere, and we plan for it. We will not promise the identical person every single time, but building a consistent relationship is the point of the service.

Can you take my relative to appointments?

Accompanying someone out is something we can look at as part of a visit. Whether it is practical depends on the appointment, the time needed and the transport involved, so please raise it at the assessment and we will be straight with you about it.

My relative says they do not want a 'carer'. Does that matter?

Not really — plenty of people accept 'someone popping in for a cup of tea' long before they will accept the word carer. Starting with companionship is often the easiest way in.
