Companion Support Care is non-clinical assistance focused on social engagement, emotional support, and companionship for older people.

It helps prevent loneliness, promotes mental wellbeing, and supports independence through regular visits from a familiar, friendly face.

• Live alone or experience limited social interaction
• Need encouragement to stay active or engaged
• Enjoy sharing meals, outings, or hobbies with others
• Are you looking for a routine check-in without medical care

Companion support encompasses a range of non-medical services designed to help older individuals feel socially connected, emotionally supported, and mentally engaged.

This type of care focuses on enhancing wellbeing through genuine human interaction and everyday companionship, tailored to each person’s unique preferences, personality, and routine.

Is companion care available through a home care package?

Yes, this service can be included under a government-funded Home Care Package or booked privately.

Can companion carers also help with light household tasks?

Yes, carers can assist with basic tasks such as tidying, laundry, or preparing light meals as part of their visit.

Do you match carers based on personality or interests?

Absolutely. We take time to understand each person’s preferences to match them with the most suitable companion.

Is this service suitable for people with early dementia?

Yes, companion care is often beneficial for those with mild memory loss, offering gentle stimulation and supervision.

Can companion care be provided alongside personal or private care?

Yes, we often combine services to ensure both physical and emotional needs are met seamlessly.

Our Companion Support services often go hand-in-hand with Personal Care services for older people.

While personal care focuses on daily physical support like showering, grooming, and mobility, companion care adds a vital layer of emotional well-being and social connection.

By combining both, we help older Australians feel supported in every way, physically, mentally, and emotionally, all from the comfort of home.
