Friendly, DBS-checked support workers for companionship, light housekeeping, meal prep, shopping and respite sitting. No personal or medical care — just a reliable, familiar face your loved one can count on.
Most of our clients book a standing weekly rhythm — here's what that can look like:
No two visits look the same, but they all share the same warmth.
Tea, a chat, and time that isn't rushed.
Same companion, so nobody's a stranger.
A proper meal made fresh, together in the kitchen.
Fresh air and conversation, at an easy pace.
Companionship isn't just conversation — it changes how the whole week feels.
Keeps your loved one active, with someone to do things alongside
Guaranteed company and conversation, on a schedule you set
Builds confidence in getting out of the house again
Encourages hobbies and activities, in and out of the home
Gives family carers genuine, guilt-free time to rest
A familiar face already in place if care needs grow later
Regular company changes how someone's week feels — and there's real evidence behind it.
Older people in England are often lonely — a figure projected to rise to around 2 million by 2026.
Roughly the increased risk of conditions like coronary heart disease and dementia linked to social isolation.
Even a single standing weekly visit gives structure to the week and someone to look forward to seeing.
Every visit is about presence and practical help — never personal or medical care.
Conversation, a cup of tea, accompanying to appointments or a walk outside. Simple company, reliably.
Cleaning, laundry and general household tasks that keep a home comfortable and manageable.
Fresh, home-cooked meals prepared in the kitchen — not feeding or assisting someone to eat.
Weekly shop, prescriptions collected, or errands run — either together or on your loved one's behalf.
Cover so a family carer can take a proper break, run errands, or simply rest — without hands-on care.
If needs change, our companionship team sits alongside our CQC-registering domiciliary service — for a clear, trusted next step.

A simple, unhurried process — most clients are matched with a companion within a few days.
Call, email, or send the form below with what kind of support you're after.
We talk through needs, preferred days and any specifics, so we can find the right match.
We introduce you to a DBS-checked support worker before the first paid visit.
Book a standing weekly slot, or keep it flexible — change it whenever you need.
Our companionship service is deliberately non-regulated, which means we don't provide hands-on personal or medical care. If needs progress beyond this, we have a clear, trusted referral path into our CQC-registering domiciliary care team.
Yadel Care Service Ltd is an Essex-based care company built around two connected services: companionship support you can book today, and a domiciliary care service currently progressing through CQC registration.
Our companionship team works alongside a Registered Nurse leading our domiciliary care service — so if your needs change, there's a clear, trusted path to more hands-on support.
We keep our team small deliberately: fewer, better-known faces, seeing the same clients week after week.
We're not a national call-centre operation — you'll speak directly with the person coordinating your visits, and meet your companion before the first booking.
Company registered in England & Wales, no. 17319876.
