Bringing peace of mind, one visit at a time
A comforting, consistent presence for elderly parents whose children live too far away.
About Us
Many elderly parents in Cape Town live independently while their children live abroad or in other cities – often with the best intentions but limited time or proximity to check in regularly. The distance can bring quiet worries about how their loved ones are really coping day to day.
Near&Dear bridges this gap by offering heart-first companionship and gentle support through weekly visits. Each visit is an opportunity to share a cup of tea, help with small errands, and provide honest updates that reassure families their parents are not just managing, but feeling seen, heard, and connected.
