Companion Care Services
Companion care provides genuine and authentic companionship for older people across Australia.
About Companion Care Services
Care is personal, and sometimes there’s nothing more you need than a friendly face.
Companion care helps to combat the feelings of isolation and loneliness that many older people experience.
Companion care takes a person-centred approach, rather than a task-based approach, to your care, putting connection and familiarity at the forefront.
Our caregivers are compassionate and friendly, and we match their experiences, hobbies and unique personalities to our clients to make sure you make a meaningful connection with whoever comes into your home.

How companion care can help you
Companionship
We match you to caregivers that share your hobbies and interests, so you can do fun activities together and have plenty to talk about at mealtimes.
Reminiscing
If you’re living with dementia or experiencing memory issues, our caregivers can help you to reminisce and tell stories about your life and your family.
A friendly face
Your caregiver can accompany you to and from the shops or social events, and they’ll often join in activities with you.

How Companion Care Works
In companion care, we focus on matching you to caregivers that share your interests, hobbies and values, whether that’s gardening, puzzles or anything else you enjoy. If you need some help around the house, your companion can do that too.
Why Choose Home Care
Staying at home where you feel comfortable, familiar, and empowered to live independently may be the best option for older people or people living with a disability who need additional care.

What’s the difference between companion care vs. live-in care?
Live-in care means that a caregiver moves into your home, whereas companion care means that caregivers will come to your home for a set amount of time each day or week. Live-in care is usually centred around physical care, whereas you can receive companion care even if you don’t have any physical needs.
