Companionship
The comfort we feel within our home is like no other. It is the place where you feel most relaxed and happy. However, as the natural course of life changes occur, you may find your home is not as busy as it once was, and there are not as many people around to give you that extra hand when you need help or to help you to participate in your interests and hobbies.
Handle With Care (Black Country) Limited’s companionship service gives you the support you need to live independently, providing you with the assistance of a member of our homecare team at your preferred times.
​
Our companionship service is most suited to individuals who will benefit from having the reassurance that someone is there with them to offer support when it is needed. It also provides peace of mind for family members, who are unable to visit as often as they would like, knowing that their loved one is being cared for.​
Our homecare support workers are carefully selected to match your support and personality preferences. We will arrange for you to meet your homecare support worker before commencing your care plan, to ensure you are happy with your nominated carer.
