Companionship care in Milton Keynes

A good visit starts with getting to know you: the stories you enjoy sharing, your interests and the pace that suits you. Companionship is time with another person, shaped around what you want from the visit. You can enjoy company while keeping your own routines, choices and independence.

A visit might include a chat over tea, reading together, a favourite game or time spent on a hobby. Tell us about activities you would like to keep enjoying and people you want to stay connected with. We discuss what is practical for you and agree activities around your interests and support needs.

If you would also welcome help with meals, shopping or daily routines, we can discuss including these in your care plan. If washing, dressing or other personal care is becoming difficult, tell us during your assessment. We will explore the support you need so your visits reflect your whole day, not just one task.

Tell us when company would be most welcome and how much time you would like together. We discuss visit length, frequency and available times before agreeing your arrangements. Your plan should fit alongside family visits, existing support and the things you already enjoy. We review it with you if your needs or preferences change.

You choose who you would like involved in planning your support. If a relative is helping you arrange care, we listen to them while keeping your wishes central. At the assessment, discuss how you would like information shared and who should be contacted about changes. You and your family can raise questions with our team.

Your initial care assessment is free. The price of ongoing companionship depends on the agreed visits and support, so we discuss the cost with you before care begins. Ask us about visit length, what is included, any additional charges and cancellation arrangements. You can consider the proposed plan and costs before deciding.

You do not need to know exactly what to ask for. Tell us what you would enjoy having company for, what feels difficult and any concerns about welcoming someone into your home. We can talk through companionship and arrange a free assessment. A suitable start date and care arrangements are agreed with you.
