Ageless
At Ageless Companions we know that loneliness and isolation is a big problem for many people and which inevitably affects a person’s mental health. We believe that a good chat and a little bit of Companionship can make a huge difference to someone’s standard of life including an improvement in their mental health.
Ageless Companions are a client lead service and we do what you would wish us to help with. We can accompany you to appointments, take you for a drive in the car, go to a café for a chat and cake or we can stay in the house and chat if that is what you wish us to do on that day. The times and days are mutually agreed between yourselves and us. We can provide service Monday through to Sunday. The charge is £16.50 PLUS VAT per hour, and you can have as many or as little hours as you wish per week.
We match you up with a Companion who best suits your requirements, and an introduction meeting takes place before the service commences so there isn’t a strange face arriving at the house on the day the service starts. You are supported by the same Companion each visit as we believe that continuity is a necessity in order to build up trust and relieve apprehensions.
A lovely lady who we support for 2 hours a week said that having her Companion was “better than taking any medication” This lady now looks forward to her weekly visits and has a more positive outlook on life as well as experiencing a vast improvement in her mental health.
As every individual is different, we are aware that the need for support varies, which is reflected in the dedicated Service we provide, offering the best person-centred support to the individual, therefore if you would like more information, please
