Get in touch
At Sylvian Care, we know companionship is more than a service – it’s a lifeline to emotional health and social connection. Our companionship and befriending services are designed with compassion, so every individual gets the support they need to live a happy and fulfilled life. We support elderly people in Wokingham and surrounding areas to recognise the power of real companionship on their wellbeing, thanks to our dedicated and caring volunteers who provide friendly conversation, engagement, and companionship.
Our Companionship Services
Friendly Visits by Dedicated and Caring Volunteers
Our caring volunteers visit clients regularly, bringing warmth and connection into their lives. Whether it’s sharing stories over a cup of tea or going for a leisurely walk, these visits are to combat loneliness and build a feeling of belonging.
Assistance with Hobbies and Interests
Staying engaged in personal interests is vital for mental stimulation and happiness. We support our clients in their hobbies, whether it’s gardening, crafting, Wokingham or any other interest. We want these activities to remain a source of joy and fulfilment, helping them live a happy and independent life.
Daily Tasks
We offer personal care and companionship during daily tasks, helping with meal preparation, light housework, and even just sitting with our clients while they watch their favourite programme. Our presence means our clients feel supported and valued in their daily life.
Outings and Errands
Getting out and about is key to an active lifestyle. We take our clients to local parks, shops and community events and help with errands like grocery shopping. This support helps them stay independent and connected to the community of Wokingham, allowing them to live comfortably in their own homes.

Meaningful Relationships
Our approach to companionship is about building real relationships. We take the time to get to know our clients, build trust and create bonds that boost their wellbeing. This is at the heart of what we do. We also offer free telephone befriending, where dedicated volunteers visit clients in their own homes or speak to them on the phone to provide companionship and engage in friendly conversation.
Companionship Benefits
Emotional Wellbeing
Regular companionship is essential for emotional wellbeing, giving our clients a sense of purpose and belonging. Our services reduce feelings of loneliness, increase happiness and positivity.
We also offer live-in care, providing support for emotional wellbeing by ensuring comfort, safety, and assistance with daily activities.
Mental and Social Engagement
By chatting, doing hobbies, and participating in community activities, our clients combat social isolation while receiving mental stimulation and social engagement. This is vital for brain health and a social life.
Community Integration
Local Activities
We encourage our clients, especially older adults, to stay connected to their community by attending local events and activities. Whether it’s a cultural festival, visiting the Wokingham TG Art Gallery, or going for a walk at Dinton Pastures Country Park, our services are designed to get our clients into the social heart of Wokingham.
Wokingham and Surrounding Areas
Our companionship services cover various locations, from the busy Wokingham Town Centre to the peaceful Keephatch Park Nature Reserve and the historic Cantley House Hotel. We provide transport and support so our clients can enjoy the best of Wokingham while living in their own homes.
