Companionship care

A growing concern for many, social isolation can be experienced when older parents or family members live away from their loved ones.

You can arrange a visit from someone in our team who will meet with you and your loved one in their home. Here, we will get to learn more about what they like; interests and hobbies and what they would need a hand with or what they would like from a companion.

We all could use a good friend who is there for us and offers quality time and company too. From talking about things the patient may like or even helping to layout towels before a bath the prime purpose here is to spend time with the patient.

Some services offered with companionship care from Tehy Care include;

• Learning a new hobby
• Going shopping
• Accompanying the patient on walks
• Making sure the home is safe
• Playing a game
• Transportation
• Writing letters or communicating with pen pals
• Going out for a coffee
