Many of the families who call us are sons and daughters looking for help for an elderly parent in Great Yarmouth — someone friendly and reliable to pop in, share a cup of tea, and keep an eye on how mum or dad is really doing. That's exactly what we do. One familiar, DBS-checked companion, chosen to suit the person, visiting as often or as rarely as you'd like.
Every visit is shaped around the person, not a checklist. For some people in Great Yarmouth that means a gentle walk along the seafront or through the Venetian Waterways; for others it's a browse around the market, a sit in St George's Park, or simply good conversation and a shared pot of tea at home.
Regular visits from the same friendly face — conversation, shared hobbies, a stroll along the prom, or a coffee in town. Company you genuinely look forward to.
Someone alongside for GP visits and hospital appointments, including trips to the James Paget in Gorleston — help getting there, company while you wait, and a second pair of ears.
A hand with the small things that keep life running — light tidying, laundry, meal preparation, errands and prescriptions — always around the visit, never instead of it.
£18 per hour — no contracts, no minimum commitment. The first conversation and introductory visit are completely free, with no obligation.
Arrange a free visitWe're genuinely local — not a national agency with a branch office. As well as Great Yarmouth itself, we regularly visit the surrounding villages, including Caister-on-Sea, Bradwell, Ormesby St Margaret, Hemsby, Belton and Filby. If you're nearby and not sure whether we can reach you, just ask.
Also looking nearby? We cover Gorleston and Lowestoft too.

The first step is just a friendly conversation — no pressure, no commitment. Harriet will listen, understand your situation, and explain honestly whether we're the right fit.
If it feels right, we'll arrange a free first visit in Great Yarmouth so you (or your parent) can meet a companion in person before deciding anything.
Prefer to talk it through? Call or WhatsApp Harriet on 07876 753211.
Usually within a week or so of the free introductory visit — sometimes sooner. We'll always be honest about availability when you get in touch.
Of course — most enquiries come from sons and daughters, often living elsewhere. We're happy to keep you in the loop after visits so you always know how things are going.
No — we provide companionship and practical support, not personal or medical care. If hands-on care is needed, we'll say so honestly and point you in the right direction.
We will get back to you within one working day.
Harriet will call or email you within one working day to arrange a convenient time for your free conversation.
