VidakindPrivate Lifestyle & Companionship

Lifestyle

The everyday things, beautifully handled.

From organising the diary to setting up a video call with the grandchildren, we take care of the little everyday things that can feel like a lot.

Life has a surprising number of small jobs: appointments to book, a phone that needs sorting, a parcel to post, a hobby you would love help getting back into. We handle them with you, patiently and without fuss.

We are especially fond of helping with technology, because a confident video call with family can brighten a whole week.

What a visit can include

  • Organising appointments and keeping the diary
  • Help with phones, tablets, email and photos
  • Setting up and practising video calls with family
  • Errands, posting parcels and collecting orders
  • Help getting back into hobbies and interests
  • Writing lists, cards and correspondence
  • Planning birthdays, visits and special occasions
  • Keeping your Little Things Book up to date together

Good to know: We do not handle banking, financial transactions or medical decisions on your behalf. We can sit with you while you do them, if that helps.

Questions & answers

About everyday assistance.

Can’t see your question? We would love to hear from you.

Can you help me video call my grandchildren?

Absolutely. We can set everything up, practise together at a gentle pace and even make the calls a regular part of your visits.

Can you manage my appointments?

We can help you organise the diary, make bookings with you and keep track of what is coming up. Appointments with health professionals remain between you and them.
