Companionship services
Companionship care provides genuine and authentic everyday companionship for ageing adults across Ireland.
About everyday companionship services
Care is personal, and sometimes there’s nothing more you need than a friendly face.
Companionship takes a person-centred approach, rather than a task-based approach, to your care, putting connection and familiarity at the forefront.
Our Caregivers are compassionate and friendly, and we match their experiences, hobbies and unique personalities to our clients to ensure you make a meaningful connection with whoever comes into your home.
Companionship helps to combat the feelings of isolation and loneliness that many ageing adults experience.
Key benefits of companionship services
How companionship care can help you
Companionship
We match you to Caregivers that share your hobbies and interests, so you can do fun activities together and have plenty to talk about at mealtimes.
Reminiscing
If you’re living with dementia or experiencing memory issues, our caregivers can help you to reminisce and tell stories about your life and your family.
A friendly face
Your caregiver can accompany you to and from the shops or social events, and they’ll often join in activities with you too.
I can go to work knowing that Dad is happy and getting the kindest and most nurturing care from his Caregivers. They shower him, listen to his history lessons, and make him breakfast, and all with such care and some laughs thrown in too.
How companionship services work
In companionship care, we focus on matching you to caregivers that share your interests, hobbies and values, whether that’s gardening, puzzles or anything else you enjoy. If you need some help around the house, your companion can do that too.

Why choose home care?
Why staying at home where you feel comfortable, familiar, and empowered to live independently is the best option for people who need additional care.
Companionship care is a type of home care that is designed to support your emotional and social wellbeing, providing you with someone to talk to and do activities with. It can also include light help around the house if that’s what you prefer.
Contact Dovida today to discuss companionship services. We make sure that you are matched with caregivers that enjoy the same hobbies, interests and activities as you, so you can build a real connection with your companion.
The cost of companionship care is different for everyone, as it’s based on your individual needs and interests. Contact us if you want to find out how much it would cost for you.
Companionship care is centred around your emotional and social wellbeing, and usually includes:
– Company around the house and during mealtimes
– Companionship while doing the activities you enjoy
– Light housekeeping tasks
Live-in care means that a caregiver moves into your home, whereas companionship care means that caregivers will come to your home for a set amount of time each day or week. Live-in care is usually centred around physical care, whereas you can receive companionship care even if you don’t have any physical needs.
