Needing care doesn’t have to mean missing out. Our travelling care services with an expertly trained travel companion make it possible for your loved one to enjoy trips safely and comfortably.
Travelling care services provide professional support to individuals who need assistance outside of the home. Live-in carers offer more than just company and support: they ensure your loved one’s physical, mental and emotional needs are met every step of the way.
This makes them an ideal choice for anyone who likes to remain independent but wants to travel with confidence.
Whether it’s a trip to see family members or a much-anticipated holiday, our carers are there to support.
At Ashridge Home Care, every journey is planned around individual needs, preserving their independence and dignity while giving you complete peace of mind.
Our travel companions provide one-to-one care and companionship, whatever their plans: from shopping trips to the local high street to doctors’ appointments and big days out, our carers make every trip safe. They help with day-to-day needs, from personal care to mobility support, as well as much-needed emotional reassurance. With a personalised care plan tailored to your loved one’s routine, travelling can be stress-free.

With over 30 years of experience supporting families, Ashridge knows just how much a travelling care companion can change lives. Here’s a real example from one of our clients, showing how our team made outings safer, more enjoyable, and stress-free:
“Ashridge really helped me last year when I wanted to attend a family wedding in Spain but didn’t feel confident travelling alone. I have mobility issues and tend to move a bit slowly, so having a companion supporting me at every stage of the trip made all the difference. It was incredibly reassuring to know help was there whenever I needed it.”
At Ashridge Home Care, we specialise in travelling care companions and carer-supported holidays, providing personalised, professional support. Our carers are trained in-house to provide the highest level of care, both in and outside of the home.
Awarded Outstanding in the Caring Category by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), we create individualised care plans that can be adapted to your loved one’s calendar, shifting from daily care to trips away.
Yes, travel companions can assist not just for holidays but also for events like concerts, theatre visits, or family gatherings.
Carers can provide support on cruises. They can support with travel to and from the docks, daily care on board, and care and companionship when taking part in excursions or activities.
Our carers can provide specialist care for conditions such as dementia, mobility issues, or long-term medical needs whilst travelling. Each of our carers is trained to manage specific care requirements, while also offering companionship and assistance with daily activities.
We provide travelling care for couples. Whatever their plans, assist with mobility, personal care, and daily routines, whilst being mindful to give couples plenty of time to enjoy trips together.
Ashridge provided an emergency placement for me when I needed a live-in carer on 24hrs notice. This was a godsend to me as my mother had advanced Alzheimer’s and my Dad had been rushed into hospital. I really appreciated the professional approach from all the staff I dealt with and felt very supported. Ashridge found me a first class carer who was able to provide wonderful live-in care for both my parents allowing them to spend a few more months together in their home of 35 years. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ashridge and live-in care.
