The Benefits of Companionship Care in Folkestone: How to Improve Your Loved One's Quality of Life

Discover the benefits of companionship care in Folkestone and how Home Instead can improve your loved one's quality of life through tailored services and local activities.

As the owner of Home Instead in Folkestone, I, Kishore Sapkota, have had the privilege of witnessing first-hand the positive impact that companionship care can have on the lives of our clients. With years of experience supporting individuals with care needs, I can attest to the fact that companionship care is an essential component in enhancing our clients’ overall wellbeing.

Companionship care goes beyond simply providing support with daily tasks. It focuses on building genuine relationships between our Care Professionals and clients. This relationship fosters a sense of belonging, reduces feelings of loneliness, and helps maintain a sense of independence.

In the UK, more than 9 million people often or always feel lonely, and older adults are particularly susceptible to this feeling. Companionship care can make a real difference in combating these feelings of isolation.

One of our clients, D C, shared his experience with Home Instead’s companionship care:

“My caregiver really cares about what she does, and she cares about me as a person as well as helping me to do things that help me to stay independent.”

At Home Instead Folkestone, we strive to connect our clients with their local community. We understand the importance of engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfilment. Our Care Professionals often take clients to local cafes, such as beach front cafes, or for strolls along the picturesque Sandgate Beach. These outings create meaningful experiences and lasting memories for both our clients and Care Professionals.

During our initial care consultation, we take the time to assess each client’s needs and preferences. This helps us match them with a Care Professional who shares similar interests and hobbies. As needs evolve, our Care Plans are designed to adapt accordingly, ensuring our clients receive the support they require.

We also keep families informed and involved in their loved one’s care, providing updates and addressing any concerns that may arise. Open communication is key to ensuring our clients and their families feel confident in the care provided.
