What is Companion Care?

Companion Care involves a Carer visiting you or your loved one at home to provide valuable social interaction. Our Home Care services aren’t just about supporting Personal Care or complex needs. Companion Care enables you or your loved one to continue enjoying the things you love most about your life at home.

As people get older, many experience elderly loneliness. Life can be more challenging without someone to talk to regularly. This is often the case if you or your loved one live alone or far from family and friends. Sometimes, all it takes is spending time with a friendly face.

With Companion Care, one of our friendly Carers will regularly visit you or your loved one for a cup of tea and a chat, a day trip to a favourite place, or a walk in the park. At Alina Homecare, our care is tailored to meet your or your loved one’s exact needs. We consider your preferences, interests and hobbies and aim to match you with a like minded Companionship Carer.

Receiving Companion Care at Home can make a positive difference, supporting you or your loved one to live the life you want.

Your home. Your care. Your choice.

Why choose Companion Care?

Companion Home Care for the elderly aims to decrease feelings of loneliness for you or your loved one. According to Age UK, over 1.4 million older people in the UK are often lonely.1 A lot of the time, this begins after losing a significant relationship, living alone or struggling to find opportunities for meaningful social interaction.

Unfortunately, social isolation and loneliness can have a negative impact on mental health. As a result, this can also affect physical health and can lead to difficulty concentrating and insomnia.2 Having an elderly companion can make all the difference and help improve quality of life.

At Alina Homecare, we provide regular companionship for you or your loved one to make a positive difference in your day. Whatever support you need, care can be tailored to your individual requirements. Whether you want someone to visit you or your loved one at home for companionship, someone to challenge at chess or to accompany you or your loved one on regular days out, we can help.

What is included in Companion Care?

Companion Care is unique to each person to ensure the right level of care and support is provided. Whether you or your loved one would like some regular company at home, or perhaps someone to go on days out with, we can help. Our Companion Care for the elderly can also include:

Hobbies & Activities

Sharing your favourite hobbies and activities with someone is great fun. We aim to match you or your loved one with a Companion Carer who is most suited and has common interests. Not only can they support you or your loved one to continue your usual hobbies, but to also learn new ones.

Attending Events

Getting out and about and experiencing a change of scenery can benefit mental health. Our Companionship Carers can accompany you or your loved one to local events, day trips and friendly catch ups. Sometimes having someone by your side gives you the confidence you need.

Running Errands

Our Companionship Carers can accompany you or your loved one running errands or run them for you. Our Carers all drive so can help with going to the shops or attending appointments. Going out alone can be daunting which is why our Carers are there to provide reassurance.

Wellbeing Support

From general chit chat to deep and meaningful conversations, our Companionship Carers are ready and able to provide support. For many of our clients, this extends beyond just the person receiving care. We also provide guidance and a listening ear to loved ones.

Meal Preparation

Mealtimes can often be the loneliest time of day for the elderly. One in five seniors say they feel especially lonely when eating alone.3 Our Companion Carers help by preparing nutritious meals and can accompany and assist you or your loved one when eating.

Housekeeping

Simple pleasures like a freshly made bed or a vacuumed carpet can help us feel more comfortable and in control of our lives. Companionship Carers can provide Domestic Care to keep things just how you or your loved one would like at home.
