Your Trust Matters

Safety, reliability, and professional standards are at the heart of everything we do.

Vetting & Checks

Thorough Background Checks

All companions undergo comprehensive background checks including criminal history screening and reference verification.

Enhanced DBS Checks

Where appropriate, we conduct enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks to ensure the safety of vulnerable adults.

References & Verification

We contact previous employers and personal references to verify reliability, character, and suitability.

Ongoing Monitoring

Vetting is not a one-time process. We maintain ongoing oversight and review of all our companions.

Training & Experience

All companions receive thorough training covering safeguarding, dementia awareness, and best practices in companionship care.

Matched for Compatibility
