Bringing Free Companionship Care Initiative to North Leicestershire

At Radfield Home Care, we believe that everyone deserves meaningful connections, particularly during the colder months when feelings of loneliness can often increase. To address this, we are delighted to introduce an initiative offering free companionship care in North Leicestershire and nearby areas. Led by I, Akash Raja, Director of Radfield Home Care Loughborough, Charnwood & Melton Mowbray and Sona Bharkhada, Director of Radfield Home Care Leicester East, Groby & Oadby, this programme aims to foster stronger social connections for individuals across North Leicestershire and central Leicester.

Tackling Loneliness with Free Companionship Care in North Leicestershire

Loneliness is a growing issue for many, especially during the winter. This initiative, designed to combat isolation, is inspired by a simple yet impactful goal. I, Akash shared my motivation for launching the programme:

“Loneliness is a real issue and it’s sad to see how many people are on their own. Therefore we decided to offer this initiative throughout the Winter period, in the aim to combat loneliness and provide respite for individuals that look after their loved ones without finance being the blocker to accepting care visits”

Through this initiative, Radfield Home Care is offering up to 100 hours of free companionship care in North Leicestershire and central Leicester, ensuring that those in need have the opportunity to feel supported and connected. These free visits aim to reduce isolation, provide mental stimulation, and help individuals maintain a sense of community.

How the Free Companionship Care Programme Works

To ensure this initiative reaches those who would benefit most, Sona and Akash have partnered with local social prescribers and community organisations. This collaboration helps connect the programme to individuals at higher risk of loneliness or isolation.

The initiative offers four hours of free companionship care to up to 25 individuals, totalling 100 hours of support. Our dedicated Care Professionals deliver more than just friendly visits—they provide opportunities for meaningful conversations, light domestic help, and even assistance with short outings. This approach ensures every individual feels valued, heard, and cared for.

The Value of Companionship Care

Companionship has a profound impact on mental and emotional well being. Regular social interaction helps reduce loneliness, manage stress, and even improve cognitive health. For those living alone or with minimal social support, having a trusted companion can make a significant difference.

Radfield Home Care is proud to offer companionship care in North Leicestershire, tailored to the needs of each individual. Whether it’s providing emotional support or assisting with everyday tasks, our Care Professionals focus on creating meaningful connections and ensuring no one feels isolated.
