Cornwall Care - Home / Companionship Service
We want our clients to feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their own homes.
Our aim is to always help our clients to live more independent and fulfilling lives, no matter what illness or disease is affecting them. To do this, we provide bespoke care packages for our clients, tailoring them so that they look after not just the individual’s needs, but also support their loved ones as well.
For us, it is not just about delivering a service. We make sure that we create a warm and supportive environment for our clients and we do our best to encourage their independence and confidence. More and more people are choosing to live independently at home for as long as possible and we are here to ensure that happens. We understand the importance of being in your own space.
When we meet new clients in the community, this is what we do:
- Meet the individual in their home and carefully assess their situation, identifying their needs and completing a full My Life Plan care assessment
- Provide practical advice and possible solutions regarding all aspects of the individual’s care
- Assist individuals or their family on availability for claiming all the financial benefits, allowances and support that they are entitled by working with local resources.
- Help the individual and their family map out their care and support plan for now and the future, including everything from personal care, medication, diet and nutrition to personal activities, hobbies and more
- Help the individual live with dignity, independently in their own home
There are many ways we can support our clients, including but not limited to:
- Help around the home, from cleaning and laundry to shopping and preparing meals
- Personal support such as dressing, bathing and help with prescribed medication
- Companionship, being there to help with activities clients enjoy, such as days out, reading, or just having a chat
- Sitting service (if the individual is usually cared for by their family, we can step in when they are unavailable)
- Assistance with medication
- Specialist advice for families
- Dementia and palliative care

We encourage relatives to be involved in the care planning process as much as possible and are committed to providing loving care for our individuals that adapts to suit their changing needs and supports their independence and individuality.
We understand how important relatives and carers are and aim to also provide the best possible care and support for them as well as the individual.
“You all did an amazing job and was so appreciated by Kath. She looked forward to seeing you all coming and doing all the jobs she wanted doing, so she could live to the end in the comfort of her own home. Thank you all very much.”
