Companionship

What is Companionship?
As we get older, life starts to slow down. At Private HomeCare, we understand that sometimes it can be difficult to plan social activities around your busy schedule. If it’s for yourself or perhaps you have ageing family members nearby, or across the country, it can help just knowing that there is a friendly, caring companion who visits regularly.
Companion care is one of our most requested services. When one of our Private HomeCare care assistants provides companionship care, they become a trusted companion who can keep you or your loved one socially engaged in their own home, and accompany you or them on visits with friends, family, and to other social events. our companionship services may cover a wide range of activities where we are able to provide support, for example:
- General companionship and conversation
- Help with your weekly shopping.
- Joining in with your favourite hobbies
- Help with general domestic tasks (cleaning, laundry etc.)
- Help with travel arrangements.
- Driving you where you would like to go.
- Arranging and accompanying you to and from appointments
- Planning outings and visits
Why is Companionship Care important?
Loneliness can have serious effects on a person’s health and Private Home Care aims to prevent social isolation by providing companionship care at home. Many people we support simply want company and conversation, whether they live alone and may not see family and friends as often as they would like, or just want a companion when going out to appointments or to do the shopping.
The aim of our companionship services is to ensure that you or your loved ones can lead happy, healthy and stimulating lives in the comfort of their own home or residence.
