Steady Companion

Someone to walk alongside you,

helping you move through your life with confidence and support.

FROM LIZZIE

Enough support to stay being yourself

Having lost much of my walking ability due to MS, I truly understand how much difference the right support can make.

I know the reassurance of having someone beside you. Someone who offers an arm to lean on, carries the bags, steadies your step, and helps you move forward with confidence.

Mobility is at the heart of so much. Without support, even simple things can begin to feel difficult or out of reach. And with the right support, they can become possible again.

Steady Companion is here so you can live your life well.

FLEXIBLE TRANSPORT

Travel Your Way

Taxi, train, airport support, or your own car - we help organise the journey around what works best for you.

Independence

Travel your way, including in your own car

Some people feel more comfortable in their own car. It's familiar, easy and already set up for their needs. We can drive you in your own vehicle, accompany you throughout, and bring you home safely again.

This is often the easiest way to get you where you need to go.

The Companion came and looked after my mum, and she was great. She took her out for a drive, and they stopped for tea in Orewa. Mum talked about it for weeks.

It was a relief. The Companion had organised a taxi to pick them both up at the RV, and she arrived ahead of time to make sure all was ready for the hospital trip.

I needed someone to help me get up and ready each morning while my wife was away. Maree was just perfect - non-fussy, sensible, competent and friendly.

I found the solution to our problem - a Steady Companion to meet my mother at the airport, and help her stay calm and safe for the next stage of her multi-stage voyage.
