Did you know that 940,000 older people in the UK are often lonely?
That's 1 in 14 people aged 65 and over. And 270,000 older people go a whole month without speaking to anyone at all.

Loneliness in older adults isn't just sadness. Research shows it's as harmful to health as smoking 15 ci******es a day — linked to higher risk of heart disease, depression, cognitive decline, and early mortality.
This is exactly why Haven Oasis exists.
Our companionship service provides DBS-checked companions who visit older adults in their homes — for conversation, help with appointments, shopping, light household tasks, and simply being there.
Not care. Companionship. The difference that keeps people independent, connected, and thriving in their own homes for longer.
