Care plans

Ongoing treatment, familiar companions

A care plan is a regular, planned schedule of companion trips for ongoing treatment. We set it up once, keep the same familiar faces wherever we can, and keep your family in the loop.

What a care plan includes

📅

Standing weekly bookings

Your regular days and times are booked ahead, every week, until you tell us to change or stop.

💚

Familiar companions

We keep the same small group of companions for your plan wherever possible.

👪

Family kept informed

Family can see trips in the Family Portal and follow each one with a secure tracking link.

🤝

Attend & Support

Your companion can come in and wait with you, then bring you home.
