Companionship
Whether it’s for a couple of hours a day or longer, companionship makes a huge difference to quality of life. At Almost Family we understand the impact that loneliness and isolation can have — which is why this is one of the most important services we offer. Our companions are warm, engaging and matched carefully to your personality and interests.
Home Visits
Sometimes you just need someone to fill in the gaps or provide specific support. Our home visits are tailored precisely to your personal needs and can be as flexible as you like. A companion might come in for just an hour or two to help with getting dressed, medication reminders, cooking meals, or simply to provide good company.
Live-in Care
You may require someone to live-in and provide care on a full-time basis. At Almost Family we work hard to match your live-in companion to your needs and personality. This is more than a care arrangement — it’s a relationship built on trust, genuine warmth, and real continuity.
Respite Care
If you are a full-time caregiver, you’ll understand how essential respite services are. Ours means you have someone you trust completely to take over while you have a break. We can also respond to emergency situations when unforeseen circumstances arise — quickly, calmly, and professionally.
Personal Care
Personal care can be a sensitive issue as we grow older or face health challenges. You want a companion you can trust completely and feel genuinely at ease with. Whether it’s help with dressing, washing, or other personal routines, our team approaches every interaction with warmth, dignity and total respect.
Memory & Dementia Care
Our specialist companions provide support with all care needs, ensuring every client feels valued, included and heard. We promote independence wherever possible and use deep understanding of dementia to connect with each person’s feelings and views — building genuine relationships and providing real companionship.
Holiday Companions
Sometimes your regular companion can’t be available, or you simply want to travel with extra support. We make sure this doesn’t impact the care you receive — providing wonderful companionship when your loved ones can’t be there. Holidays, day trips, and new adventures made possible again.
Home from Hospital
When returning from hospital you may need more support and reassurance while you recover. Our specialist care professionals provide the care that allows you to recover in a relaxed, familiar environment. We coordinate closely with families and healthcare teams to make sure the transition home is seamless.
Night Care Services
Night-time care can be a particular worry for families. Our professional companions ensure your loved one remains safe, comfortable and supported throughout the night — giving everyone in the household the rest they deserve. From light sleeping care to full waking night support, tailored to what you need.
Home Help & Housekeeping
Sometimes it’s the everyday things that matter most when helping someone stay happily in their own home. Cooking, shopping, tidying, washing and ironing — our helpers take care of the practical side of life so you can focus on enjoying it. Reliable, cheerful, and always done properly.
Shopping & Errands
We’re here to make sure you have everything you need to be happy at home. Whether that means accompanying you on a shopping trip, collecting groceries on your behalf, or running specific errands — we’ll do our very best to get you exactly what you want, when you need it.
Gardening & Handyman
You may have things that need doing inside and outside the house and want someone reliable you can call on. Our fully vetted handyman service covers: repair and maintenance work, appliance installation & removal, furniture assembly, and professional gardening. Every person shares the same compassionate and empathetic nature we expect from all our team.
