Our Service
Our Client-to-Carer matching service, based on hobbies and interests, allows mutually fulfilling, genuine friendships to develop. In many cases, our Carers are considered extended family, providing relatives with peace of mind that their family member is happy and cared for.
Gillian’s Story
We have been providing Companionship and Domestic Support to Gillian since 2018.
We visit twice a day. On the first visit we assist with domestic tasks, make sure she is ready for the day and take her on trips out. On the second visit we ensure she has eaten a balanced meal and assist her with securing the property for the evening. Gillian has a team of regular carers who maintain her independence and support her to live safely at home.
Why Does Loneliness Occur?
Loneliness can occur for a variety of reasons. As we get older we inevitably lose family members and close friends which can have a “cut-off” effect. All of a sudden the normal routine of day to day life has gaps, and loneliness creeps in.
Mobility problems caused by a disability may also restrict people from being able to interact with loved ones. Financial mobility may also cause loneliness, due to not being able to afford transportation to meet up with friends. Loneliness is a vicious circle and often the more lonely a person feels the worse loneliness can get. When a person feels detached from society, they’ll usually find it hard to reconnect.
Our companionship service offers a friendly face on a day to day basis. Our carers grow long-lasting friendships with Clients and can help with other needs, such as domestic support and personal care as and when required.
