Companionship & Social Support.
We provide professional companionship and social support for older people in West Yorkshire, helping them stay connected, active, and independent.
What Boot & Co. Provides
We're not a care agency. We don't provide personal care, medical support,
or clinical services.
What we do provide is genuine companionship and practical social support—
helping older people maintain their independence, stay connected to their
community, and enjoy quality time with someone they trust.
Every visit is with the same people.
No rotating staff. No strangers. Real relationships.

Additional Support
Beyond our core services, we offer:
HOSPITAL & MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS -
Accompany your parent to doctor appointments, hospital visits, or health
check-ups. We provide transport, attend the appointment, take notes, and
communicate with family afterwards.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Weddings, family gatherings, funerals, or celebrations. We personally transport
and accompany your parent, help them feel comfortable, and
ensure they can participate fully.
DECLUTTERING
Sometimes we are all guilty of hoarding and it can seem overwhelming
knowing where to start. Many hands make light work, sometimes all we need is help.
RESPITE SUPPORT
longer blocks to give family carers a break. We stay with your parent,
provide company, and manage their needs while you take time for yourself.
TELEPHONE CHECK-INS - £15
Regular phone calls (same time every day) for those who don't need in-person
visits but would benefit from consistent contact.
What Actually Happens During Visits
Every visit is different because every person is different. But here's
what a typical visit might look like:
AT HOME:
Cup of tea and genuine conversation
Catch up on the week, discuss news or interests
Card games, puzzles, or crosswords
Reading together or listening to music
Light tidying while we chat
Help with meal preparation
Simply being present and attentive
OUT & ABOUT:
Trip to local shops or post office
Walk in the park or around the neighbourhood
Coffee at a favourite cafe
Visit to garden centre or library
Accompanying to appointments
Whatever keeps your parent active and connected
THE CONSTANT:
Same people, every visit. We remember what matters to the people we visit,
their routines, their preferences, their stories. Because we're building
a relationship, not completing a task.

What We're Not
We're not a care agency. We don't provide:
Personal care (washing, bathing, dressing, toileting)
Medical care or medication administration. CQC-regulated care services
If your parent needs personal or medical care, we're not the right fit.
But if they need genuine companionship, social support, and someone who'll
treat them like a friend—that's exactly what we do.
The Boot & Co. Standard
Every visit, every time:
PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION
Smart casual dress (not uniforms). Clean, well-groomed, respectful.
We look like someone your parent would choose to spend time with.
PUNCTUAL & RELIABLE
We arrive on time. We don't cancel unless absolutely necessary.
Your parent can depend on us.
GENUINELY PRESENT
No phones. No rushing. We're there to spend quality time and have
real conversations.
ENHANCED DBS CHECKED
Both Gareth and Sue hold current Enhanced DBS checks for working
with vulnerable adults.
FULLY INSURED
Public liability insurance. Professional standards maintained.
CONSISTENT
Same people every visit. We build genuine relationships over time,
not transactional interactions.
