We believe that care is more than tasks; it’s about human connection, compassion, and dignity.

The Hidden Epidemic of Loneliness

Did you know?

Over 1.4 million older people in the UK report feeling lonely often. It can lead to:

  • Increased risk of dementia
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Poorer physical health outcomes
  • Hospital readmissions

Loneliness is invisible, but its effects are very real.

What We Do Differently at CM Bespoke Care

At CM Bespoke Care, we take a person-centred approach. That means:

  • Consistent caregivers: Familiar faces build trust and reduce anxiety.
  • Companion care: We don’t just assist—we sit, listen, chat, and share.
  • Activity-based visits: Playing a game, walking in the garden, or simply having a cup of tea can brighten someone’s day.
  • Celebrating small things: Birthdays, anniversaries, or even just a sunny day—we find ways to make it meaningful.
  • Family updates: We share photos, stories, and updates with family (with permission), creating a bridge between loved ones.

Community Connection

We work to keep our clients connected with the world around them:

  • Coordinating volunteer visits or befriending services
  • Helping with video calls to distant family
  • Supporting clients to attend community groups, church, or lunch clubs
  • Encouraging hobbies, music, and storytelling

Real Stories, Real Change

One of our clients, Mrs L, said:

“Before CM Bespoke Care, I’d go days without seeing anyone. Now, I laugh every morning when my carer comes in. It’s the highlight of my day.”

That’s what care should feel like!
