Care at home isn’t just about support with daily tasks—it’s about fostering meaningful connections and providing emotional support. For those at risk of loneliness or social isolation like the elderly, having a trusted companion carer can make all the difference.
Our companionship care services are designed to help you live life on your terms. Whether it’s accompanying you to activities and social events, enjoying a walk together, or simply sharing a conversation over a cup of tea, our companionship care is tailored to your preferences, ensuring you stay connected, engaged, and fulfilled.
For over 80 years, Prestige Nursing & Care has been a trusted partner for families, delivering compassionate and personalised companionship care in the comfort of home. Our approach prioritises your health, well-being, and socialisation, all while ensuring you remain in the place you love most—your own home.
With Prestige Nursing & Care, companionship goes beyond support. It’s about fostering relationships built on trust, understanding, and shared experiences, ensuring that every stage of life is lived with dignity and respect.
WHAT IS COMPANIONSHIP CARE?
At Prestige Nursing & Care, we recognise the importance of human connection, especially for the elderly who may find themselves alone for extended periods.
Home companion care is tailored support for people who may not require traditional care but could benefit from the regular company of a warm-hearted individual genuinely invested in their well-being. It’s about more than practical assistance; it’s the assurance that a caring companion will be there to share in the joys, offering a genuine interest in your life.
Our hourly companionship service is designed to bring warmth and connection into your life. This service goes beyond merely offering company; it’s about enhancing well-being and providing peace of mind, especially for loved ones who might live at a distance.
From leisurely strolls in the park to encouraging your favourite hobbies, our devoted companion carers can empower you to live with greater confidence and independence.
WHY IS COMPANIONSHIP FOR THE ELDERLY IMPORTANT?
Elderly people are at increased risk of social isolation and loneliness. In our golden years, when life may take a quieter pace, the value of companionship for the elderly becomes even more important. Here are some of the many compelling benefits of receiving companionship home care:
- Greater well-being. Companions for the elderly contribute to overall well-being, encompassing emotional, mental, and physical health.
- Maintain active interests and social networks. A companion carer encourages your hobbies and community networks, promoting an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
- Less loneliness and isolation. Companionship care can help combat feelings of loneliness by fostering meaningful connections and reducing social isolation.
- Engaging conversation and day-to-day support. Enjoy stimulating conversations and practical assistance, enhancing your daily life with enriching interactions.
- Reassurance for yourself and family members. Knowing that their loved one is enjoying consistent support and companionship can bring peace of mind to both the individual and their family.
- Confidence to do the things you love. Gain the confidence to pursue and enjoy activities you love, knowing there’s supportive companionship available.

COST OF COMPANIONSHIP CARE
Companionship care costs depend on the level of care and support you require. If you are receiving our hourly home care service, the overall cost will be determined by the number of visits and frequency of visits to you at home.
Our experts will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your needs at your home or hospital if you are awaiting discharge to truly understand what you need and how much companionship care at home will cost.
You may be entitled to either healthcare funding, social care funding or government funding to contribute to the cost of home care. If you are faced with having to finance your own home care (known as self-funding care), there are initiatives available to you, including care fees annuities or equity release schemes that could provide the funds you need for your care and support.
