At Unique Homecare, we understand that sometimes the most important part of care is simply having someone there.

Our companionship visits are designed to support emotional wellbeing, confidence and independence through genuine connection and meaningful time together.

Visits are completely tailored to the individual and can include:

• A friendly chat over a cup of tea
• Support getting out into the community
• Shopping trips and appointments
• Help attending clubs, cafés or social activities
• Gentle walks and fresh air
• Reading, games or hobbies
• Meal preparation and shared mealtimes
• Reassurance and routine

For many people, loneliness can have a huge impact on wellbeing and confidence. Our companionship visits focus on building trusted relationships and helping people continue enjoying the things that matter to them.

We take time to match clients with Care Professionals who share similar interests and personalities wherever possible, creating visits that feel natural, relaxed and enjoyable.

Families also benefit from the reassurance of knowing their loved one has regular social interaction, support and someone checking in on their wellbeing.

Because great care is about more than tasks — it’s about connection, dignity and quality of life.

Founded in 2016, Unique Homecare was created with a vision to deliver care differently moving away from rushed, task-based visits and focusing instead on genuine relationships, dignity and quality of life.

With over 30 years of experience in the care sector, our approach combines traditional values of kindness and compassion with innovative ideas that promote wellbeing, independence and meaningful living.

Many of our team members have been with us since the very beginning, helping shape the Unique Homecare approach and the values we stand for today.

Our Care Professionals work in the sector because they genuinely believe there is a better way to deliver care one built on time, compassion, dignity and meaningful relationships, rather than rushed task-based visits.

We are passionate about creating care that feels personal, flexible and centred around the individual whether that’s companionship visits, specialist dementia support, personalised meal planning or our Fell Pony wellbeing sessions.

Our personalised meal planning system allows clients and families to access:

• Easy-to-follow meal plans
• Shopping lists
• Recipe and “how to” videos
• Menus tailored around likes, dislikes and health conditions

We also offer companionship visits designed to support emotional wellbeing, confidence and independence through genuine connection and meaningful time together.

Alongside this, our Fell Pony wellbeing sessions bring comfort, engagement and enjoyment through gentle interaction with our much-loved ponies, helping create calm, connection and meaningful experiences for clients and families alike.

At Unique Homecare, we believe care should never feel like a timetable of tasks it should feel supportive, respectful and enriching.
