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.
