Introduction to Companionship Care
Are you or a loved one struggling with loneliness or social isolation? It's a common issue for seniors, especially those who live alone or have limited mobility. But the good news is that it doesn't have to be that way.
Companionship care can be a game-changer for anyone who feels disconnected from the world around them. Whether you're looking for someone to share your hobbies with or need a companion who speaks your language, a companionship carer can make all the difference.
At PrimeCarers, we understand that the right caregiver can have a profound impact on a client's quality of life. That's why we're proud to offer a diverse range of companionship carers who are skilled at providing not just practical assistance but also emotional support and companionship.

Companionship care can be provided by a family member, friend, or professional caregiver. It's important to find someone who is trustworthy and reliable, as well as someone who understands your needs and preferences.
At PrimeCarers, we understand that finding the right caregiver can be difficult. That's why we've created an easy-to-use platform that connects you with qualified caregivers in your area. You can search for caregivers based on their experience, availability, and location. And if you're not sure what type of care you need, our team of experts will help you find the perfect match.

- Hourly Care (under 6 hours) - £14-18/hr
- Shift Care (6 hours or more) - £12-16/hr
- Live-in Care (Carer sleeps in a spare room) - £110-150/day
At PrimeCarers we allow carers to set their own prices so that they are always rewarded fairly for their skills and years of experience. The above prices are the common price ranges for care on the site. When you work with traditional agencies or other providers the costs may be higher than this.
