In shortCompanionship care is regular, friendly company from the same carer: a chat over a cup of tea, a walk, a trip to the shops or help getting to an appointment. It is for people who are managing at home but are lonely, low in confidence or need a hand to get out. What a companionship visit can include Conversation, reminiscing, games, puzzles and hobbies. Walks, trips to a café, the park, church or a local group. Shopping, collecting prescriptions and posting letters. Going with someone to GP or hospital appointments. Help with phone and video calls to family. Light meal preparation and a check that all is well. The same face each time Companionship only works when people get to know each other. We match carers on interests and personality where we can and keep the same carer as far as possible. An early warning for families A regular visitor notices small changes early: a fall that was not mentioned, an empty fridge, a new confusion. With your agreement we tell the family, so small problems are dealt with before they become big ones.
