In her own words
Real friendships, not just visits
In their own words, here is what regular visits from an AirCarers companion have meant to families we support in Hertfordshire.
Very helpful. Katie really looks after me. The company are very good and will help in any way.
My Mum and I had our first meeting with Sara and we were happy to meet her. Sara was friendly, patient and understood all our needs.
This is my 3rd visit with Olivia. Her communication skills are amazing, she listens, she's genuinely interested in you, and with Olivia I feel safe.
Really lovely and patient, knows her stuff. I felt very safe in her company. Great sense of humour and knowledgeable. Would definitely use again.

What AirCarers Companion is
AirCarers Companion gives older people regular company, conversation and gentle help at home, so they stay connected, confident and independent. We connect families in Hertford, Ware, Hoddesdon, Broxbourne, Bishop's Stortford and Sawbridgeworth, across the SG11 to SG14, EN10 to EN11, CM21 and CM23 postcodes, with friendly, vetted companions for older people. We are not a care agency. Our companions offer social visits, conversation, accompanied outings and a little help around the home, so your mum or dad has a familiar face long before it ever becomes care.
Every companion is vetted, insured, and verified. Because they work for themselves, they set their own rates and choose their own hours.
You're never left in the dark. Companions check in and out by GPS, so you can see exactly when a visit starts and ends, and you get a short update afterwards. And if a companion ever notices something that doesn't seem right, like a change in mood, health or wellbeing, our safeguarding and concerns process makes sure it's raised with you quickly, or flagged to a GP where needed.
And while most of the people we support are older, our companions are here for any adult living with loneliness or isolation, including disabled and partially sighted adults.
Companionship, not care
What a companion does
The ordinary, everyday things that keep someone connected, mobile and themselves. Company, a reason to get out, and a familiar face who notices how they really are.
A typical visit might include
- Companionship and conversation
- Walks and outings
- Light household help such as tidying, making tea and simple meal preparation
- Accompanying to appointments or errands
- Sitting support, reading, or keeping someone company

David and his dad, Dessie.
Why I built this.
I'm David, and I started AirCarers after my dad, Dessie. He managed at home for years, sharp and independent, but what he slowly lost was company and a reason to get out.
By the time anyone called it "care", the decline had already set in. I built this so other families have the thing we didn't: a familiar face who turns up before it ever gets to that point.

There's a stage before anyone needs "care." What's missing isn't washing or medication. It's company, movement, and a reason to get out of the chair.
The body winds down
When older people have fewer opportunities to move, they can lose muscle strength and mobility. Everyday movement can help them stay active.
Source: NHS EnglandThe mind follows
Loneliness and social isolation are linked to poorer physical and mental health. Age UK's 2024 report found that 9 in 10 older people who often feel lonely also report being unhappy or depressed.
A regular friendly visit can bring company, conversation and a reason to get out. That is what a companion is for.
Does this relate to you?
- Your mum or dad spends most days on their own, and the house has gone quiet.
- You're constantly worrying that they're lonely between your visits and calls.
- They're not ready for anything formal, they just miss having company.
- You've become the only person they see, and visits are errands more than time together.
- They'd love to get out for a coffee, a walk, or an appointment, but won't go on their own.
- You want them to feel connected and like themselves again, while keeping their independence.
