Care isn’t always about supporting those with complex medical needs; while that is important work, care in the home can also simply be about helping you live an enjoyable, fulfilling life.
Everyone feels lonely at some point in their lives, but for those aged 65 and up, the feeling is quite common. In fact, 940,000 people in this age bracket often experience loneliness, with around 270,000 going a week or more without speaking to a loved one, reports AgeUK.
If you often find yourself feeling lonely, then don’t suffer in silence, as our companionship care team is here to help.
What Is Companionship Care?
Companionship care is designed to help those who often feel lonely or are worried about their mental health as a result of loneliness.
With this service, you’ll be assigned a care companion who’ll visit you at home or in residential care, restoring friendship, company, and support into your day-to-day. Together, we can tackle social isolation and loneliness, helping you live your life to the fullest.
While loneliness is most common amongst the elderly, companionship care is actually designed for people of all ages. Whether 30 or 65, if you often experience loneliness, then companionship care is available to you.
Keeping You Company
Sometimes all you need is to share a cup of tea with a friend – that’s where companionship care comes in. Your care companion will schedule regular visits to keep you company throughout the week.
Cooking Nutritious Meals
If you find planning, preparing, and cooking meals difficult, your care companion can help make it simple. Your favourite meals are prepared at a time that suits you, so you can finish the day with a warm, nutritious, home-cooked meal.
Support In Your Community
Engaging with your local community is a great way to fend off feelings of loneliness. However, we know this is easier said than done. Your care companion can help you explore your community with ease.
Going Shopping
Getting to the shop and planning for the week ahead can be tricky on your own. With companionship care, this is all made simple, as your care companion helps you create a shopping list and ensure it’s all picked up.
Cleaning Your Home
A clean and tidy home creates a peaceful, soothing space for you to unwind in. Whether it’s taking the rubbish out, putting a wash on, or giving your space a vacuum, your care companion is here to help.
Helping With Everyday Tasks
Your care companion is on hand to help make the day-to-day simple. From making the bed to switching the heating on, companionship care helps sort out the little things that make life comfortable.
Staying Active
Physical exercise is great for your mental health, but we know going for a walk on your own can feel daunting. Your care companion can accompany you on walks around the park or trips out and about to keep you healthy.
