If you’re starting to feel your age, you might worry about your social life. Perhaps that’s due to the loss of a spouse, family members living away, or problems getting out and about. Yet nothing beats social connections for our emotional well-being and quality of life. The last thing we need is for loneliness and isolation to creep up.

This is where my companionship service comes in. My name is Mia and I provide both company and a lifeline of friendship and support. This is tailored for older adults in Exeter and east Devon.

What is Quality Companion?

My companionship service brings warmth and sunshine into the lives of older folk. Whether it’s a drive in the country, a trip to the theatre, or simply a listening ear, I can make your days a little brighter. I’m here to offer friendship, listen to stories, and keep your favourite pastimes and hobbies going. I’m also good at getting birthday cards for the grandchildren and sorting out Christmas gifts to the family.

Flexible to suit your needs

Everyone is unique, and so are your preferences. Whether it’s weekly visits or daily check-ins, I can tailor things to fit your needs and lifestyle. If you enjoy reading, gardening, or even simply chatting about life experiences, we can do that together. For some clients, mobility is a concern. I can provide lifts to appointments, run errands, or help you with a walk in the park. My aim is to help you stay active and engaged with the world around you.

Say goodbye to loneliness and boost your mental health

My service gives older clients regular opportunities to engage socially, keeping your mind active and spirits high. We know how important this is, because loneliness is more than just an emotional problem. It leads to serious health issues.

Social isolation is linked to depression, memory decline, and even heart disease. So having a companion can really boost your mental and emotional well-being. That means more joy and laughter, but also stimulation for your grey cells with conversation, games, or shared hobbies. A good companion makes the relationship feel natural and fulfilling.

A genuine friendship

While I provide practical support, the heart of what I offer is friendship. All of my clients have become good friends. I am a positive, smiley person, blessed with a rich social and cultural life. I love spending quality time with others, and that means my clients feel valued and connected. It’s good to see this easing any fears of loneliness and isolation that a person may be feeling.
