Get in touch with our Right at Home office in Twickenham and Richmond to discuss the benefits of companionship.
Why is companionship important?
Companionship can have huge benefits to the mental and physical health and well-being of a person. Loneliness in the elderly is all too common, and the companionship care services from Right at Home really support the prevention of loneliness and isolation. This can also create a feeling of relief if you are a loved one living far away.
At Right at Home Twickenham, we recognise the value of having a friendly and trusted visitor to talk to. Our homecare team go beyond helping with daily activities and housework. When it comes to companionship, our CareGivers in Twickenham and Richmond always aim to put a smile on someone’s face.
What are the benefits of companionship and support?
Companionship can allow you to regain or enable your independence by getting out in the community and boosting your self-esteem.
Our Clients love to experience community life in Twickenham, Richmond, and the surrounding areas, including taking a stroll around the Royal Parks and Nature Reserve or spotting the deer as you walk around Bushy Park.
Our CareGivers are available to offer support however and whenever they are needed. Companionship care can help you take the first steps towards meeting new people, rediscovering old hobbies or taking up new interests.
Most of all, we aim to match our CareGivers and Clients, so they share interests and personality traits. In doing so, both can benefit from a genuine friendship built on trust and mutual understanding.

Heather C | Daughter of Client | Twickenham"We began using Right at Home Richmond & Twickenham after my mum spotted an advert offering ‘companionship’. I cannot fault the company. We liked the fact that it was always the same person except when the regular Carer was on holiday. It meant that she could develop a good relationship with Mum. On a couple of days, we needed cover urgently and they provided it at very short notice. Mum’s Carer was lovely with her and could quickly lift Mum’s mood if she was down."
