The Paragon Agency
Good company, on your own terms.

Oxfordshire · Buckinghamshire · Berkshire
This is not care.
It’s company.
Not just someone to call. Someone to look forward to.
Paragon offers companionship and practical lifestyle support — not medical care, nursing, personal care or cleaning. Our companions are there for good conversation, a familiar voice and help getting everyday things done.
For families, it’s reassurance without a “care” relationship. For the people we speak with, it’s simply good company, great days, and life lived on their own terms.

Arrange a callHow it works
Three simple steps to good company.
Step 01: Arrange a call
Start with a straightforward, unhurried conversation about what you are looking for.
Step 02: We get to know you or your parent
We learn about interests, personality, routines and what they would genuinely enjoy.
Step 03: A considered match
We select a companion with the right communication style, personality and experience.
Vetting and safety
Every companion is checked before they meet anyone.
Before working with a client, every companion must provide:
- Enhanced DBS certificate
- Proof of identity
- Proof of address
- Right-to-work documents
- References
Carefully selected and matched
Matched around the person, not simply availability.
Our companions are carefully selected and matched, not simply assigned. We take time to understand the person behind the details, then make a considered introduction between people who are likely to genuinely get along.
We get to know
- Personality and how social or quiet they are
- Interests, hobbies and favourite topics
- Daily routines and preferred times
- Life experiences
- Preferred conversation style
Companions are chosen for
- Professionalism
- Reliability
- Communication style
- Discretion
- Life experience
