About Loving Care Companion

Loving Care Companion supports people in their own homes in Smethwick and across Sandwell. We work with older people, adults living with dementia, autistic adults and people with a learning disability, people managing mental ill health and younger adults. Companionship is in our name deliberately. A great deal of the harm we see in people's lives comes not from a lack of tasks being done but from long stretches with nobody to talk to. So while we do all the practical work, helping people wash and dress, prompting medication, cooking, shopping and keeping a home in order, we also make sure our visits contain a proper conversation rather than a rushed exchange at the door. Plans are worked out with the person and with family where they want that. We keep the team going into a household small and steady, because trust does not survive a rotating cast. Where someone is living with dementia, we hold the routine firm and adapt around how they are on the day rather than insisting on a schedule. Staff are trained before working on their own and supervised once they are, and we expect concerns to be raised immediately rather than saved for a review. We have not yet had a full inspection as a newer team. We would rather tell you that up front and invite your questions. If you are looking into care at home in Sandwell, please get in touch.
