Whether you're in Lowestoft yourself or a son or daughter looking for help for an elderly parent from further away, the idea is simple: one familiar, DBS-checked companion who visits regularly — for conversation, a walk, help with appointments, and the kind of company that turns a quiet week around.
Every visit is shaped around the person, not a checklist. In Lowestoft that might mean a gentle stroll along South Beach, a sit in Kensington Gardens or Sparrow's Nest, watching the boats at Oulton Broad, or simply good conversation and a shared pot of tea at home — whatever makes the week feel brighter.
Regular visits from the same friendly face — conversation, shared hobbies, a walk by the sea, or a coffee in town. Company you genuinely look forward to.
Someone alongside for GP visits and hospital appointments, including trips up to the James Paget in Gorleston — help getting there, company while you wait, and a second pair of ears.
A hand with the small things that keep life running — light tidying, laundry, meal preparation, errands and prescriptions — always around the visit, never instead of it.
Having someone pop in for a chat makes the whole week feel different. Harriet found exactly the right person for mum — warm, patient, and genuinely interested in her life.

The first step is just a friendly conversation — no pressure, no commitment. Harriet will listen, understand your situation, and explain honestly whether we're the right fit.
If it feels right, we'll arrange a free first visit in Lowestoft so you (or your parent) can meet a companion in person before deciding anything.
Prefer to talk it through? Call or WhatsApp Harriet on 07876 753211.
Usually within a week or so of the free introductory visit — sometimes sooner. We'll always be honest about availability when you get in touch.
Of course — most enquiries come from sons and daughters, often living elsewhere. We're happy to keep you in the loop after visits so you always know how things are going.
No — we provide companionship and practical support, not personal or medical care. If hands-on care is needed, we'll say so honestly and point you in the right direction.
We will get back to you within one working day.
Harriet will call or email you within one working day to arrange a convenient time for your free conversation.
In the meantime, feel free to call on 07876 753211.
