Loneliness and social isolation can affect people of any age. Companionship care provides regular social contact and practical support, helping individuals remain connected to their community, interests, friends and family.
 

Companion care practitioners often have interesting life experiences which can mean they are able to empathise and communicate effectively.

A number of factors can make it harder for someone to get out and stay socially active, including mobility problems, reduced confidence, health conditions, or simply limited access to transport or local clubs. Loneliness doesn't discriminate and can happen to anyone.

This type of care service can vary from several hours a day to just a few hours a week and can make a huge difference to the day-to-day outcome of someone who would be totally alone. Loneliness is a huge problem as it can cause depression and exacerbate illnesses and conditions.
 

Social interaction is what people live for, whether that person is an introvert or an extrovert, the network of friends and family that surround them helps them to feel valued and supported.
 

Companionship care provides support for those who are isolated and lonely, but still healthy and happy to remain in their own homes. Companionship care varies significantly from person to person but generally aims to reduce or prevent loneliness in someone who might otherwise become isolated.
