How we can help
We provide bespoke Companion services for a senior clientele and specialise in working with individuals with a diagnosis of dementia. Each client has their own dedicated Companion. We tailor the Companion services that we provide to the needs and wishes of the individual client. We do not require that a client contracts with us for any set number of visits, but we do have a minimum visit time of two hours, which we consider is necessary to allow us to deliver a quality service.
Companionship
The Companion role differs from client to client according to a client’s needs and wishes. Some clients may have lost confidence, perhaps through illness or bereavement and need help and encouragement to take up previous hobbies and interests. Others may need practical help around the home with tasks that they now find difficult such as changing a bed, shopping, dealing with correspondence. Or it may be that a client is no longer able to get about independently, close friends and family are living some distance away and the person would like someone to spend time with them taking them to appointments and social activities. All our Companions drive and regularly take clients to appointments and out for social activities; lunch, coffee, visiting places of interest and importance to the client.
