Companionship: a new era of support for vulnerable people (with Marlyn Baxter)
Life in Black & White (and all the shades in between)Show Notes
In today’s world, loneliness is on the rise—and many families simply can’t be there for their loved ones as much as they want to. That’s where companionship steps in.
In this heart-led episode, we talk to Marlyn Baxter, director of Ageless Companions, about why companionship is quickly becoming the future of care. It’s not just about keeping someone company—it’s about creating joy, sparking connection, and giving families peace of mind.
We dive into what inspired Marlyn to start this meaningful work, the power of presence, and how her service is reshaping support for older adults and their carers alike.
Tune in to discover why moments of genuine connection are more vital than ever—and how they’re changing lives.
