Why Companionship Matters - Especially for Widowers

Loneliness can weigh heavily on older adults, particularly widowers who may face deep social isolation after losing a spouse. Research shows widowers often struggle more than widows, with smaller social circles and a reluctance to seek support, which can impact mental and physical health. Our companionship service is a lifeline.

We offer:

Whether it’s a widower craving connection or any senior needing a spark of joy, Therapy Pets delivers care that fosters independence and happiness.

What We Offer:

Our Companionship Care Service pairs Craig’s warm personality with the therapeutic magic of our animals to create tailored, uplifting visits. Here’s what you can expect:

Warm, Engaging Chats: Craig swaps stories about Edinburgh’s history, reminisces about the good old days, or shares a laugh, lifting spirits and building connection—perfect for widowers seeking a friendly face.
Therapy Pet Visits: Choose a visit with Doctor Watson, our 9-year-old Samoyed-Collie mix, whose gentle cuddles bring comfort and joy. While Craig handles chores, Doctor Watson snuggles with your loved one, offering emotional support and sensory engagement, especially for those with dementia or disabilities. Our therapy guinea pigs—Frank, George, Ringo, and Elvis—can also join for extra squeaky charm.
Fun Board Games: From Scrabble to draughts, Craig tailors game sessions to your loved one’s interests, sparking mental stimulation and bonding—ideal for a lively match with a gentleman.
Hobby Support: Craig encourages passions like flipping through old photos, discussing football or rugby, or taking a gentle walk, helping seniors rediscover what they love.
Practical Help: Craig eases daily burdens with tasks like bed changing, hoovering, weeding, or light shopping, allowing your loved one to relax while Doctor Watson keeps them company.
Outings and Appointments: From a scenic drive to South Queensferry to a café visit or medical appointment, Craig ensures seniors stay connected and active.

We’re not nurses or formal carers—we’re your Edinburgh neighbours, delivering companionship, practical support, and the healing power of animals to keep seniors, especially widowers, engaged and independent.
