Companionship Care

Company, conversation and a reason to get out

Regular visits from a friendly carer who shares your interests, comes along on outings and helps with small jobs around the house.

Companion Care

Someone to share the day with

Living alone has its upsides, but long, quiet days can wear anyone down. Companionship care brings a familiar face to your door for a cuppa, a chat and some shared time doing the things you enjoy. It's about feeling connected, not being watched over.

This is non-clinical support, shaped by the person rather than a checklist. A visit might mean a stroll around the block, a trip to the shops, sorting through old photos or watching the footy together. While they're there, your carer can also help with light jobs, like putting a load of washing on or writing up the shopping list.

Inspiring Homecare

Local carers who take the time to know you

We visit older people and people living with disability across the Gold Coast. We aim to send the same carer week after week rather than a stream of new faces, so a real friendship can grow and your family knows exactly who is coming through the door.

Matched on interests, not just timetables

Before the first visit, we ask about what matters to you: your hobbies, the topics you love talking about, the time of day you feel brightest, and anything you'd rather avoid. We use that to choose a carer who is likely to be good company. If the match doesn't feel right, just tell us and we'll find someone else.

Over time, visits settle into a rhythm you can look forward to. Here are a few things people like to do with their carer:

  • Heading out to a café, the library or a local market
  • Card games, puzzles, craft and a bit of gardening
  • Getting to appointments, church or a social group
  • Video calls with grandchildren and old friends
  • Cooking a favourite recipe together
  • Swapping stories and looking through old photos

Staying connected

Keeping in touch with family, friends and community

Loneliness can creep in after a move, the loss of a partner or handing back the car keys. Small, regular things help: a weekly walk, a standing coffee date, someone who remembers what you talked about last time. Our carers help people hold on to the connections they already have and, if they want to, make some new ones.

We keep families in the picture too. With your permission, your carer can let a son or daughter know how the visit went, mention if something seems different, and pass on anything your GP or other health workers should hear. Visits can be an hour or a whole afternoon, once a week or more often, and you can change them whenever you need to.
