About us
Company, outings and a helping hand, from people of the same generation
Rose Retiree Companions was founded by Roslyn, a retired career educator who lives in Peyia. She spent her working life teaching, and knows how much a regular friendly face, a chat and a bit of practical help can mean.
Why we do this
Many people in our villages moved to Cyprus for the sunshine and the slower pace, and their children are now back in the UK. When you're far away it's hard to know how Mum or Dad is really doing. We're here, we're of the same generation, and we have the time.
We're not nurses or carers, and we don't pretend to be. We're companions: someone to share a coffee, sort the post, go for a walk, pick up the shopping, go out for lunch, and let the family know how things are.
Who will visit
Your parent's companion is a retired, local, English-speaking person from our small team. We introduce them to you and your parent on a free video call before visits begin, and the same person visits each week wherever possible.
What you can count on
- We turn up when we say we will, and tell you if plans change
- A short WhatsApp update to the family after every visit
- Receipts for every purchase; we never hold bank cards or PINs
- Photos only with written consent, shared only with named family
Talk to us first
Every family gets a free 20-minute video call with their companion before the first visit.
