Friends Indeed

25/05/2026

Despite the heat today, we have still been getting out and about safely with clients. A beautiful early trip to Kilver Court Gardens, with one client, then refreshments at the Rodneystoke Inn with another and finishing up with a walk along the beautifully shady Norton Radstock Greenway, listening to the birdsong and enjoying a pause in the cool by the river with my third. All pleased to escape their 4 walls and a little fresh air and nature did us the world of good.

As well as doing the chores, I managed to get 2 out of 3 of my clients out and about today in the nice weather. A trip to Cheddar Garden Centre where we enjoyed watching some children feed the Koi Carp and a lovely walk through Wells window shopping and people watching. Some good exercise and a change of scene for them both. My 3rd client is just out of hospital so not ready to go out yet, but we are working on getting her back on her feet.

💛 Supporting independence, dignity, and companionship at home 💛

At Friends Indeed, we believe growing older shouldn’t mean losing independence — or feeling alone. We’re here to provide practical help, trusted support, and genuine companionship.

Our weekly (or more frequent) visits are delivered by the same friendly, reliable 'Friend' each week — someone with real life experience, a calm approach, and a kind heart.

We can help with:
✨ Cleaning, housekeeping & laundry
🛒 Shopping, errands & meal preparation
🚗 Trips out, appointments & getting back to doing what you love
🌿 Gardening & simple DIY
🐾 Pet care & dog walking
☕ Meaningful companionship — a good chat over a cuppa

But we go further than that…

✔ Managed Companions — no gaps due to holidays or illness
✔ Helping people stay safely in their own homes
✔ Family liaison & peace of mind
✔ Dementia support
✔ Help with admin and appointments
✔ Support after hospital stays — building confidence, mobility & routine
✔ Early spotting of illness or changes in wellbeing
✔ Encouraging movement, balance & confidence
✔ Reducing loneliness through regular, trusted visits
✔ Respite for family carers
✔ Care home visits and trips out

Our 'Friends' are not just helpers — they’re trusted, practical, and genuinely lovely people who take the time to build real connections.

📅 Regular weekly visits
🚗 All Companions drive, so getting out and about is easy
💬 Consistent, friendly faces you can rely on

If you or a loved one could benefit from a little extra support — or simply a good friend — we’d love to hear from you.

“Mum looks forward to Thursdays now.”

That’s what one son told us.

Before Friends Indeed, the days felt long. Simple tasks became harder. Confidence dropped. And loneliness quietly crept in.

Now?

There’s a familiar face each week.
A trip out for a change of scenery.
Help around the house.
A hot meal.
And, just as importantly… a real friendship.

At Friends Indeed, we do more than help with daily tasks — we help people feel like themselves again.

Our 'Friends' support with everything from housekeeping and meals to appointments, dementia support, and simply being there for a good chat over a cuppa.

We also give families peace of mind — knowing someone caring, capable, and consistent is there.

Because staying at home shouldn’t mean struggling alone.

You don’t need carers, but you would benefit from some help and support at home?

Friends Indeed are there for just that. The same ‘Friend’ visits you each week (or more frequently) to support with anything that you might need whilst providing companionship and good conversation.

Everyone on our team has maturity, life experience, a lovely nature and is easy to communicate with. Like a son or daughter and a terrific neighbour rolled into one.

Whether you need a hand getting out and about or with a few of the more physical tasks round the house. Maybe you have lost interest in cooking for yourself and would like some home-cooked meals prepared. Or perhaps you are starting to feel isolated and it’s good company you crave. Whatever the reason, Friends Indeed can be there for you.

We don’t take away your independence…in fact, we positively encourage you to keep doing the things you can and want to do.

We can also be on hand to get you to appointments and, if required, be there with you to ask the right questions and help you remember what is said.

We offer a wide range of support and our visits are never rushed, so that we can really make a difference.

If you think this sounds like something that may help you or a loved one, then do get in touch with us and we will be happy to chat with you to see if we are what you are looking for.
