Can't be there this Christmas? Start this month instead of waiting, so by Christmas your mum or dad already knows their companion. Or give the first month as a gift.
This ChristmasNoticed Mum or Dad needs a bit more help after Christmas? You're not alone: January is when most families look for support.
What to look forFor families abroad
Someone kind to check on your mum or dad in Cyprus
You can't pop round when you're 2,000 miles away. We can. Your parent's companion visits every week, runs the errands, and tells you how things really are.
What a typical week looks like
On the Companion plan:
- A social visit. Coffee and conversation, help with letters, bills, phone or forms.
- A wellness outing. A coastal walk for exercise, or company at a medical appointment (we never give medical advice).
- Errands or household help. Groceries, a pharmacy collection, the post office, small jobs around the home. Receipts for everything.
- A WhatsApp update to you the same day, with a photo if your parent is happy with that.
- Once a month: lunch out together, meals included.
What you'll hear from us
- After every visit: how your parent seemed, what we did, anything to keep an eye on.
- Straight away: anything worrying. In an emergency we call 112 first, then you.
- Every month: a clear bill with receipts. And you can call or message us whenever you like.
How billing works
- Join the waiting list for next month's intake. Your card (UK cards are fine) is saved by Stripe, not charged.
- When we have a place, we email you and take the first month. You can withdraw any time before that at no cost.
- The plan renews monthly in advance, in euros. Shopping is added at cost the following month with receipt photos. Meals out on your plan are already included.
- Cancel with a month's notice. No exit fees.
Prices are in euros; your bank converts the amount. The pound figures on this site are approximate.
Being honest about what we do
We are companions, not a care agency or a nursing service. We don't help with washing, dressing or the bathroom, we don't give or manage medication, we don't give medical advice, and transport isn't part of the service (we aren't a licensed taxi, but we can arrange one). If your parent needs more help than we can give, we'll tell you honestly and help you find the right people.
Time zones and talking to us
Cyprus is two hours ahead of the UK for most of the year. Send a WhatsApp or email any time and we'll reply during the day in Cyprus.
Ready when you are
We take a small number of families each month so every family gets proper time. Join the waiting list for next month's intake: your card is saved, not charged, until we offer you a place.
