COMPANIONSHIP CARE

Having someone to talk to, and interact with, can make a lonely older person’s day. Knowing that a visitor is coming to spend time with them acts as a powerful motivator to get up, bathe and get dressed in clean clothes.

Reminiscing about days gone by, interacting with other people and passing on snippets of wisdom gained over a lifetime can all help a lonely older person to re-engage with the world.

Companion care can be arranged according to your loved one’s needs. Perhaps they need someone to call in a couple of times a week, to spend time chatting over a cup of tea, and maybe accompany them on occasional outings or shopping trips.

 It allows your loved one to continue to enjoy living in their own home, but also provides 24hr care at home with someone on hand day and night should they need help or support. 

A live-in carer is able to provide company for everyday tasks that most of us may take for granted, such as eating meals together, playing board games and other day-to-day activities. They are there to be a live-in friend to your loved ones, helping to keep them happy and having fun.

 Also, having a younger carer in the house provides great support for the elderly with things like technology to help them stay in touch with friends and family, as well as helping them plan activities to see friends when we can again.
