What our clients say about our services

Having my companion for a while now I have always found that she does a very professional job. She’s totally trustworthy with a very sunny personality.

Mr T, Cheltenham

Mum says she really likes her companion and has enjoyed all the time they have spent together, including recent trips to art galleries and shopping for jeans at John Lewis one week.

Daughter of Mrs J, Cheltenham

These people have changed my life, and I use this company constantly. The companions are kind, courteous and caring, never making you feel “OLD”. They don’t just take you to hospital & Drs appointments, your wish is their command - a scenic ride, a coffee, to see the Christmas lights. They always feel like friends, and I look forward to my next meeting. If you are isolated like me, they are a god send. I recommend them highly.

Mrs J, Cheltenham

Both myself and my daughter work very busy jobs and our other family live away. My father no longer lives with my mum juggling time with my dad, time with my mum and my career, I’m finding myself feeling tired. Since introducing TBL to my mum, she has been able to visit my dad regularly while still fulfilling her hobbies and passions. They really take everyone’s feelings into consideration and myself and my family feel such a weight lifted from our shoulders.

Mrs K

I work full time in the NHS and my job is very pressured. Knowing that mum is getting out and about and enjoying herself is exactly what I need to take some of the pressure off me.

Mrs C

With having a busy career and a family of my own, I don’t always have availability to get my nan to her appointments, having the TBL really eases my mind and my nan having someone she knows to take to her to her appointments. The family portal is so helpful in the situation too, being able to relay the information from the appointment when I can’t be there, it also takes the pressure off my nan to remember every detail.”

Mrs R

Having rarely left the house, my sister needed massive encouragement to become more social. Doing this 1’2’1 with a TBL companion was the way to do it (having tried many other ways!). I am so pleased to see her enjoying a little of life again.

Mrs D

I popped over today and he was ironing!!! Something I haven’t seen him do for a long time; I think this given him a new lease for life. It takes the pressure off us, me with the appointments, it means we can visit him for a chat rather than driving/sorting/arranging everything. Thank you.

What happens during the initial consultation?

Our complimentary in-person consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know you, understand your needs, and answer any questions you may have about our services.

We’ll take the time to discuss the type of support you’re looking for, your daily routine, interests, hobbies, lifestyle, mobility, and any relevant health considerations. This helps us build a clear picture of how we can best support you and ensures we can match you with a companion who is well-suited to your personality and interests.

If you’re unsure whether our services are right for you or a loved one, please feel free to get in touch with our team for further guidance.

What is companionship support?

Companionship care is a personalised form of support that focuses on friendship, conversation, and social connection. Unlike personal care services, it prioritises emotional wellbeing, meaningful interaction, and shared experiences, helping people stay active, engaged, and connected while enjoying a better quality of life.

Are your companions trained and background checked?

Yes. All of our companions undergo a recruitment process and hold an enhanced DBS check. They are carefully selected for their experience, compassion, and ability to provide high-quality support.

In addition, all companions receive comprehensive training and are required to provide employment and character references before joining. This ensures we can offer safe, professional, and trustworthy support to every client and their family.

What's the difference between companionship support and home care?

We know how important it is to find the right support for yourself or a loved one. While traditional home care often focuses on personal care tasks such as assisting with washing, dressing, and medication administration, companionship support is centred around social connection, emotional wellbeing, and maintaining an active, fulfilling lifestyle.

Our companions provide friendship, conversation, encouragement, and practical support with everyday activities. This can include accompanying clients to appointments, shopping trips, and social outings, helping with meal preparation, providing medication prompts, supporting hobbies and interests, and assisting with light household tasks. Whether it’s enjoying a favourite activity or simply having someone to spend time with, our focus is on helping people feel supported, connected, and engaged.

For many people, companionship support offers the reassurance, independence, and meaningful social interaction needed to continue enjoying life with confidence while remaining connected to the people, places, and activities they love.

What is a Companionship Package?

We offer a range of thoughtfully designed experience support packages, each created to make life easier while helping people stay active, independent, and connected to the things they enjoy most.

Our packages include:

Each package has been carefully developed to provide the right level of support, companionship, and practical assistance, while remaining flexible enough to be tailored to your individual needs, preferences, and goals.

If you’re not sure which package is right for you or your loved one, our team will be happy to help you explore the options and find the best fit.
