FOR CARE HOMES
More Connection.
Less Isolation.

Neara partners with care homes across London to provide regular companion visits for residents, giving them richer weeks and giving families the reassurance of a personal update after every visit.
Loneliness doesn't disappear when someone moves into residential care. Even in a well-staffed home, the reality is that meaningful one-to-one time - conversation, shared activities, someone who genuinely wants to hear about your life is often in short supply.
Neara companions aren't a replacement for your care team. They're an addition to it. A consistent, warm presence who visits the same resident each week, builds a real relationship over time, and leaves them feeling like the afternoon was well spent.
What a Neara partnership looks like
Matched companions
Every companion is personally matched to the resident based on personality, interests, and background, not just availability.
Family updates
A personal note sent to the resident's family within 2 hours of every visit, keeping them connected without adding to your team's workload.
Fully vetted
Every companion holds an enhanced DBS certificate and is personally interviewed by the Neara team before their first visit.
Simple to manage
We handle all scheduling, matching, and communication. Minimal admin for your team, we work around your home's routines.
How it works
Initial Conversation
We meet with your activities or care coordinator to understand your residents' needs, home routines, and how Neara can fit alongside your existing provision.

Resident matching
For each resident you'd like to include, we build a short profile and match them with the right companion, with family involvement where appropriate.

Visits begin
Same companion, every week. After each visit, the family receives a personal update and your team receives a brief notification that the visit has taken place.

Ongoing partnership
We review the programme with you regularly, adjust as residents' needs change, and make it easy to add more residents over time.

Pricing for care homes
Care home partnerships are priced on a per-resident basis. We offer flexible arrangements depending on visit frequency and resident numbers. All pricing is transparent - no hidden fees, no long-term contracts required to get started.

What Neara companions do not do
Neara is a companionship service, not a care service. Our companions do not provide personal care, medication management, moving and handling support, or any clinical activity. They work alongside your care team, never as a replacement for it.
Let's talk
If you’re a care home manager or activities coordinator, we’d love to have a conversation about what a Neara partnership could look like for your residents.
