Why is companionship important?

Companionship can have huge benefits to the mental and physical health and wellbeing of a person. Social interaction can be an important factor in preventing isolation and loneliness in the elderly.

At Right at Home Preston, we recognise the value of having a friendly and trusted visitor to talk to. Our homecare support team go beyond helping with daily activities. When it comes to companionship, our Carers in Preston always aim to put a smile on someone’s face.

Here’s just one great review of our companion care services in Preston:

"The Right at Home team have been caring for mum for over five years, and during that time have provided her with excellent care alongside always treating her with dignity and respect. The carers are conscientious and considerate of mum's needs. She looks forward to their daily calls, and they have become firm friends both to her and the family. It is very reassuring to know that mum is cared for in such an attentive and respectful way."

Companionship can allow you to regain or enable your independence by getting out in the community and boosting your self-esteem.

Our Clients love to experience community life in Preston, including enjoying a visit to Leyland Motor Vehicle Museum.

Our CareGivers are available to support however and whenever they are needed. Companion care can help you take the first steps towards meeting new people, rediscovering old hobbies or taking up new interests.

Most importantly, we aim to match our CareGivers and Clients so they share interests and personality traits. This way, both can benefit from a genuine friendship, built on trust and mutual understanding.

The cost of our companion care will depend on the needs of each Client. We calculate costs based on the number of hours of care provided each week.
