Elderly Companionship Care
“Thank you so much to all who have been looking after my father for the past couple of years. He appreciated the patience and kindness shown to him, my sister and I couldn’t have manager without the truly excellent care provided.”
Providing Friendship, Conversation, and Support Through Companionship Care
Loneliness is one of the most pressing issues faced by older people in the UK—especially those over the age of 75. Many go days or even weeks without meaningful social interaction, which can have a significant impact on emotional and physical wellbeing.
At All About You, we offer dedicated companionship care services that bring warmth, connection, and consistency into people’s lives. Whether it’s regular company, a supportive hand at appointments, or simply someone to share a conversation with, our elderly companionship services are here to make every day feel brighter.
Why Companionship for the Elderly Matters
According to Age UK, more than a million older people say they go over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour, or family member. Our companionship for the elderly is designed to prevent isolation and promote happiness through regular, friendly interactions. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust, provide emotional support, and reintroduce a sense of routine and joy.
What Our Elderly Companionship Services Include:
Welfare Check
We offer peace of mind for your loved ones and security for yourself, a welfare check is a pop in visit to make sure everything with you is safe and well. If not, we will contact your chosen advocate or the appropriate emergency service. Welfare checks are popular with families who don’t live locally.
Elderly Sitting Service
We can offer respite care and sitting service to provide companionship when you are alone for time you require. Our companions will brighten up your day with a chat, board game or other pastimes.
Escorting
If you need assistance to attend an appointment with your GP, hospital or dentist we are happy to escort you. If you wish we will assist to communicate your opinions, preferences and choices and ensure they are understood by the person you are seeing.
Social Outings
Fancy popping out to the local shops, going out for a coffee or meeting up with friends. We are happy to accompany you and ensure you get there on time and back home safely. We even accompany people to go on holiday abroad. If you need a companion then just give us a call to discuss your requirements.
Respite care
If you are worried about who is going to care for you when your usual carer or family go away for a well-earned break, maybe a weekend or a few weeks, or you urgently need some short term care due to sickness or a family emergency, we’re just a phone call away from providing one-to-one care. We’re happy to provide short term companionship care whenever you need, we will even keep you in touch with your family whilst they’re away.
Digital inclusion
In today’s digital world for some elderly people keeping in touch can be a challenge, though not always possible as part of our companionship care staff can teach digital skills enabling people to contact family themselves. Alternately during our visit we can access your friends and family using a device of your choice.
Tailored Elderly Sitting Services That Fit Around You
Our elderly sitting service is completely flexible, whether you require regular weekly visits, one-off companionship, or help at specific times of day. Every carer is matched based on your interests and preferences, helping build genuine, long-term connections that go far beyond basic care.
We know that a friendly face and a kind conversation can make all the difference.
