Social isolation is a growing concern nationwide, and, for many families living far away from loved ones, it can be very difficult to help an older parent, family member or friend living on their own.
A health condition or increasingly limited mobility can increase isolation for elderly people, or maybe there just aren’t as many friends around to spend time with as there once were who are able to offer daily companionship care.
Loneliness can have a significant impact on mental health and wellbeing, which in turn can delay recovery from illness and injury.
Companionship for elderly care provides social interaction from a friendly face whenever needed and helps people to take back control of their lives, re-enabling their involvement in social events and activities.
We can help you find a like-minded companion to provide daily companionship care and visit your loved one regularly so that they have the reassurance and support of constant companionship services.
The first step is to arrange a visit from a member of our support team, to meet you and your family member in their own home. This visit is free of charge and allows us to learn more about your family member, their hobbies, their interests, and what they would like from a companion.
Ultimately, they will choose their own companion from the shortlist we put forward, matching individual needs with the right personality for them.
Our companions are friendly, “experienced in life” and chosen for their social skills. At Wellbeing Companion Care we believe it is important that our companion carers are sensitive to social cues and able to build good relationships.
We find that, even if there is a little resistance initially, our Wellbeing Companions are soon a welcome part of everyday life, from having a coffee and chat to going out shopping or learning a new hobby.
As well as providing high levels of companionship care, our companions will also be able to provide domestic help around the home.
We offer companionship services designed around the individual; choosing what they would like to do for the day, or planning the week.
This could be cooking, baking cakes, having a coffee and a chat, visiting a garden centre and doing some gardening, going shopping, providing support on medical appointments, learning how to use a smartphone or tablet, or starting a hobby – all of this becomes much easier when there is a companion to help make it happen.
