Companionship care usually includes spending time talking, supporting hobbies, going out for local trips, collecting shopping and helping with light domestic tasks. It’s ideal for experienced carers who want more control over their work — fewer night shifts, less physical moving and handling, and a focus on building relationships. Many carers who leave agency work choose companionship roles in Dunfermline for a steadier, more flexible routine.
