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

What are the benefits of companionship and support?

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

Our CareGivers are available to support however and whenever they are needed. The benefits of companion care can incorporate a wide range of possibilities. Most of all, 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.

Companion care can help you take the first steps towards meeting new people, rediscovering old hobbies or taking up new interests.

"I have a Carer come in every weekday, although when requested she comes in at weekends which I find most helpful. At other times she has taken me out to coffee shops, garden centres and hairdressers. I would be very happy to recommend these Carers to friends and relatives."

What does a companion for the elderly do?

Our companions are not just available for elderly support. We support adults of any age with everyday tasks and daily activities. In doing so, companion care enables continued independence and supports wellbeing.

Most of all, our CareGivers are there to listen and interact. Private companion services can prevent feelings of isolation and loneliness, which can have a big impact on a person’s health.

What is the difference between a companion and a CareGiver?

Our expert CareGivers provide specific services, such as personal care, specialist homecare, and targeted support for elderly people.

Care companions are often able to provide these services, but their primary purpose is to support Clients with day-to-day activities, whilst spending time with a trusted friend.

What does companion care cost?

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. Please contact us so we can provide you with an estimated cost of care.
