According to Age UK, there are 1.4 million chronically lonely older individuals in England alone, with many more in the rest of the UK. Because of this, most people in the modern world are aware that loneliness is a big problem.
We may find it difficult to leave the house alone due to health issues, mobility issues, or frailty, enhancing feelings of loneliness and loss of autonomy. Loneliness in old age has been shown to negatively affect our general health, happiness, and quality of life.
A professional carer comes to your house and stays with you to offer around-the-clock care and assistance so you may live well with as much choice and dignity as possible, in the comfort and familiarity of your own home, surrounded by everything you love.
They will focus on supporting you to live independently, allowing you to continue doing what you used to do, using highly customised and flexible companionship care. For many, companionship is the most essential thing—a listening and sympathetic ear, someone to share thoughts and feelings with, someone to comfort us or increase our confidence in how we live our lives; for others, it is having someone there whenever you need them. Home companionship care can greatly reduce loneliness and isolation in elderly individuals.
Complete Care Needs has enabled folks who desire companionship and company to enjoy a meaningful and useful life in the comfort of their own homes. Our geriatric companionship care service allows you to live well by providing the necessary level of care and assistance-all in the place you like, your own home.
A committed companion may spend considerable time getting to know you and your preferred way of life before providing the one-on-one companionship, care, and support you require to improve your life. Even the best care facility can’t use this method when carers have to split their time between many people.
If you or a loved one is already living independently, companionship care may be acceptable. Our trained carers can be with you all the time in the comfort of your own home. They can talk with you and join you in doing everyday things like eating and watching TV.
Even if you have regular visits from friends and family, you may feel lonely at different times of the day. For example, in the evening or early in the morning. Companionship care services in the home guarantee that someone is constantly present, no matter what time of day it is.
When someone wants live-in companionship care at home, the cost of care is often less than the total cost of domiciliary care at home.
When getting hourly companionship care from a domiciliary care provider, you may have to pay extra for the person’s specific care needs, such as those caused by dementia or Parkinson’s disease.
Companionship care at home is frequently equivalent to—and sometimes less expensive than—residential care, with the added advantage of tailored care and companionship that cannot be offered in a care centre.
For couples, home companionship care is less expensive than residential care, where they would need to pay for two bedrooms and care packages. With live-in care, the expense of a couple’s care is cheap.
