Elder companions · BAITNA

Companionship with dignity, independence and privacy.

A considerate companion can make everyday life easier for a parent or relative. This is monthly, non-medical home companionship, with duties agreed around the person’s abilities and daily needs.

For households · Monthly arrangements only · Not a job-seeker service

DEFINED SUPPORT

What can the arrangement include?

  • Companionship and support with everyday routines and activities.
  • Agreed non-medical help at home.
  • Keeping the family informed about daily observations and changes.

This is not nursing, treatment or emergency care. It does not include injections, medical procedures or managing treatment, and cannot replace a qualified clinician.

EVERYDAY MOMENTS

Good company has its place.

Attentive conversation, reading or a suitable everyday activity: companionship respects the older person's choices and independence. Agree on their interests and non-medical support needs, leaving healthcare to qualified professionals.

BEFORE MATCHING

The everyday details matter.

Explain mobility, the support needed and when family members are available. Physical transfers or specialist care require appropriate assessment before an arrangement can be confirmed.

Live-in

Monthly support with accommodation in your home, suitable personal space, privacy, and agreed work and rest periods.

Live-out

Regular attendance under a monthly agreement, with set days, hours and duties. Not an hourly or single-day booking.

COST & REPLACEMENT

Understand the cost before you commit.

No single price fits every household. Ask for a breakdown of what you pay, what is included and what is outside the agreement.

  • The service and scope of responsibilities
  • Live-in or live-out, working days and hours
  • Candidate experience and required skills
  • Your area and availability of a suitable match

Ask about the worker’s pay, agency fees, the total payable, additional expenses and refund terms. Request an appropriate record of payment.

ABOUT THIS SERVICE

Good questions deserve clear answers.

Can a companion carry out nursing tasks?

No. Companions provide non-medical daily support only. Nursing and medical procedures need a qualified professional.

Can I request a male or female companion?

Discuss your preference with us, considering the duties, the person’s privacy and the availability of a suitable candidate.

Is a live-in arrangement possible?

We can discuss live-in or monthly live-out options with defined duties, working hours and rest. A single person should not be expected to work continuously without rest.
