In today's fast-paced world, companionship is often overlooked as a crucial aspect of care. While many consider at-home care to only involve physical assistance with daily tasks such as washing or getting dressed, the reality is that many of our clients simply want someone to talk to and enjoy their company.
Elderly individuals are particularly susceptible to feelings of loneliness. Studies by Age UK have shown that over 3.6 million older people in the UK live alone, with more than a million of them remaining without social interaction for a month or longer. Loneliness and isolation can have significant impacts on one's wellbeing, which is why our Companionship care service is vital.
At our core, we believe in putting 'People, above all else,' which is why we are pleased to offer Companionship as one of our key services. Our customised care plans seek to match clients with caregivers who share common interests and personalities, ensuring a fulfilling continuation of life in their own homes. Our caregivers can help cook meals, engage in board games, discuss current events or talk about the past.
We recognise that quality care cannot be rushed; hence, our caregivers spend at least an hour with each client. This duration allows for the development of deep, meaningful relationships between caregivers and clients, without any sense of urgency to move on.
