As we age, we can sometimes feel more vulnerable, alone and experience feelings of social isolation, especially after a bereavement, a slight decline in health or mobility has reduced and become limited.
Loneliness can have an impact on health and is known to be associated with depression, appetite and a decline in physical activity. Utilising a companionship care service has many benefits and can help to reduce these feelings quite significantly.
According toAgeUK, over 2 million people in the UK over the age of 50 will feel lonely or isolated. Our befriending services help to provide the right support while offering companionship.
We can keep your loved ones company and get them to enjoy all the activities they enjoy doing.
We believe that age shouldn’t be a barrier to adventure and happiness, having a companion and someone to talk to can help improve your quality of life and offer a feeling of self-worth. Our Care professionals provide a companionship service for older people to enjoy company, a friendly face and share stories over a cup of tea.
What makes Home Instead Enfield unique is that we provide companion care visits for a minimum of 1 hour, this allows us to build fantastic relationships with clients without the need to rush.
Keeping the Family Up-to-Date
We use an app to update all information from our home care visit, this includes;
- How the visit went
- What your loved one did
- How they felt
- What they ate
- If they drank enough
- and any other information we feel is important to share.
Family members can log in and instantly see how the visit went using a safe and secure portal that is only visible to the direct family upon request.
Using this portal has been a fantastic way of reassuring family members that their loved one is safe and their health and wellbeing is being monitored and looked after while they remain in their own home.
