About Companion Homecare
Companion Homecare supports people in their own homes across Preston and the surrounding part of Lancashire. We work with older people and younger adults, with people living with dementia, with adults who have a learning disability or are autistic, with people managing mental health conditions, with people whose difficulties have involved alcohol or drugs, and with people who have physical disabilities or sight and hearing loss. With needs that varied, we plan around the household rather than offering a set list of options. Some people need help with washing, dressing, medication and meals. Others need support to keep a home running, to get to appointments or college, or to stay connected with the people who matter to them. We ask what would actually make the difference and build from there. Continuity is the thing people ask us about most, and rightly so. We keep the group of carers visiting each household small and familiar, we build travelling time into our rounds so nobody is rushing, and we introduce anyone new properly rather than sending an unfamiliar face without warning. Carers are asked to notice as well as to do, and to raise anything that concerns them the same day so that we can involve a relative, a GP or a social worker early. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are arranging care at home in Preston, please get in touch and we will come and meet you.
