About companionship and sitting

What it usually involves

Regular visits for company: a chat over a cuppa, a game of cards, a walk, reading the paper together, or simply being there so someone isn't on their own all day. Sitting can also mean staying with someone while a family carer goes out.

How a self-employed carer can help

The same person each visit, so a real friendship can grow. Many will happily make a drink or a sandwich while they're there. If they notice something worrying, they'll let you know.

Helpful guides

Questions families ask

Is companionship really worth paying for?

Loneliness can wear people down as much as any physical problem. Many families find a regular visitor lifts their loved one's mood, gives the day a shape, and gives everyone peace of mind.

Can a companion take Dad out?

Many will, on foot, by bus or in their own car. If they drive, ask whether their car insurance covers business use.

Why are some listings marked Sponsored?

Providers can pay to appear first in their area. They're always labelled, and only shown first if they offer what you asked for.

Why I started Carers & Cleaners

When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
