Just Company- How does it work?
 

Enriching Wellbeing in Later Life

How does it work?

It all starts with a conversation.  When you contact us we'll ask you a host of questions about the person who's need of companionship.  Together we'll assess their needs and whether Just Company can provide the required support. 

If everyone feels it's a great fit, the next stage is organising a meeting. At this meeting, we will really get into likes, dislikes, aspirations, mobility and other considerations. We'll share examples of other client’s outings and experiences to show just what the possibilities can be!  

From there, we can create a suggested programme of outings and activities that will be appropriate for the client’s needs and enjoyment.  And in the meantime, we'll go into action finding the perfect companion.  

Once we have found the right person, you will be introduced to your trusted, safe and exclusive companion, who will be with the client going forward.

  • A companion is a friend who is dependable, trustworthy and has shared interests.
  • All our companions are enhanced DBS checked and insured.
  • They have been chosen for their ability to engage with clients and enable them to truly enjoy all their favourite things from a simple cup of tea in a favourite cafe, a shopping trip or a walk in the countryside.
  • They work on a one-to-one basis and rarely have more than one or two clients.
  • Our companions strive to achieve the highest standard and will plan, organise and accompany you on outings that suit you.

I want to share something mum said to me the other day. She was very tearful that day, but she enjoyed opening some presents I had taken her. After she had opened them all, she said – ’ “Do you know what the very best present I have received is?” I said I couldn’t guess and she kept telling me she wasn’t sure she could tell me what it was. But when I pressed her, she told me that her very best Christmas present was Viv (Just Company companion), because she has transformed my life.”  We both shed a tear! Daughter of client
