COMPANION PROFILE

When selecting our Companions, we look for a wide variety of attributes. They must be responsible, with plenty of commonsense, and have the ability to make sensible decisions. They will need compassion, patience and a good sense of humour. The Good Companion^TM is bright and articulate as well as perceptive and tactful.

Nursing, farming, teaching, the arts - these are just some of our Companions' varied working backgrounds. They are all experienced in caring for others, whether professionally, or within their own families. What they all have in common is kindness and a strong desire to help.

We have found that these Companions have a natural affinity with older people; they have given my mother the necessary confidence and ability to continue living in her own home.

She gets me organised and makes sure I don’t miss my appointments, (or forget my pills!). She helps with the shopping, cooking and so on, so I can still have my friends to lunch or bridge; she has arranged drinks parties for me too. I couldn't manage without her.

Mrs R. McArthur

The girls have been so excellent and have added so much enjoyment to mother’s daily life... they have changed her life from existing to living.
