Going Out

Helping You Stay Active & Independent

Enjoying Life, Inside and Outside the Home

Going out and socialising is vital to leading a fulfilling life, and is also very important for your health. We know many older people feel unsafe or confused when going out which is why we offer support and Home Help when going out.

As well as going out with you to the shops, we also arrange many fun activities such as coffee mornings, seaside trips, day trips, and other community engagements. By keeping your day fun and filled with things to do we hope to help you lead a more active lifestyle.

OUR CLIENTS

What Our Clients Say About Us

Jane

Ascend Companions have been absolutely wonderful in caring for my dad. From the very first day, the team showed genuine kindness, patience, and respect — not just treating him as a client, but as a person with his own routines and personality. The Home Help they provide has made a huge difference to his and my mums happiness and confidence.

Louise

Ascend Companions have cared for my mother over the past year, supporting her with daily tasks and Home Help. Their empathetic, compassionate care has boosted her confidence and independence—she’s gone from housebound to enjoying shopping, meals out, and visiting friends. I trust them completely, appreciate the regular updates, and highly recommend their services.

Catherine

From the moment we met Zoe at Ascend Companions, we felt fully supported. They’ve been incredibly caring and understanding, making it much easier to trust someone else to help care for my recently widowed mum.

Jacquie

Ascend Companions are kind, reliable, and go above and beyond. Mum has perked up and genuinely looks forward to their visits. We get daily updates that give us real peace of mind.

While we were away, they visited daily and even did her shopping. We could finally relax, knowing that she was in safe hands.
