Home Companionship
Perhaps you just need company?
Someone you can chat to and discuss things with, at home or when out and about.
According to Age UK, almost a million older people in the UK go for more than a month without speaking to anyone. We've found that many clients don't necessarily need a lot of help. But would sometimes like companionship to support them during various activities. If there is room in your life for someone like that, Home Companionship can help. One of our care workers can visit you or offer support and add a vital human element to your day. They will become a trusted, friendly face. We want to provide someone to share your interests with, while offering companionship.
Clients have found that getting together with a companion makes them feel revitalised and energised. Spending quality time with someone who understands them and is genuinely interested in them is very important. Typical activities that our clients enjoy with companionship include:
- Walking the dog
- Going to collect pension or visit the bank
- Shopping for food, clothes or other items
- Going to leisure activities
- Enjoying a chat over a cup of tea
- Going to a day service
- Company and transport to doctors or hospital appointments
