Companionship
Companionship Care across the Wigan Borough
A friendly face, a proper chat and trips out. Companionship support that lifts the whole week and eases the worry for families.
Loneliness does real damage. A regular visit from someone who remembers your stories, your team and how you take your brew can change how a whole week feels.
We report back to families with a quick update after each visit, so you know how your loved one is doing even when you live miles away.
Who this is for
Older people, adults with learning disabilities or autism, people with physical disabilities or long-term conditions, people recovering from illness, family carers needing respite — and anyone else who could do with a hand.
