Meaningful moments.
We are a Greater Manchester companionship service, built on kindness, trust and a genuine wish to make later life brighter. Our companions are employed by us, not introduced to you as self-employed strangers — vetted, trained, insured and paid properly.
That is why we can promise you the same person each week. It is the whole point of the job, and it is the first thing an hourly care round has to give up.
It is the little moments that make the biggest difference.People. Connection. Brighter days.
Companionship is the whole job, not a line on a rota
Most home care agencies offer companionship as one item inside a care package. It is the first thing squeezed when the round runs late. We do not run a care round, so there is nothing for your visit to be squeezed by.
Doing one thing means we can say exactly what it is, in writing, before you book.
Whitegreen Companions provides non-regulated independent living support. We do not provide personal care, nursing care, clinical care or any other activity regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Our companions can remind you to take medication but never administer it. If your needs change, we will help you find a registered care provider.
Personal care is defined in regulation 2 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. If it is what your family needs, tell us and we will help you find a provider registered to give it — at no charge and with no commission to us.
A more personal approach to companionship

Enhanced DBS, two references and a face-to-face interview on every companion. Your safety and peace of mind come first.
Consistent care
The same companion whenever possible, plus one named backup you meet inside the first month. Never whoever happens to be free.
Flexible options
Visits to suit your lifestyle and routines. No minimum term, no deposit, and one week’s notice from either side.
