DayFriend connects older adults and their families with Enhanced DBS checked companions who provide in-home support, companionship, and practical help with daily routines. Senior Care is warm, non-medical, and focused on keeping older adults active, comfortable, and connected.
The aim is simple: safer, easier days at home. A regular companion means
fewer things to manage alone, someone to notice when something is not
right, and company on the days that would otherwise be quiet.
Companions are available across North West England, including Greater
Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside and Lancashire — from Manchester,
Stockport and Bolton to Warrington, Liverpool and Preston.
