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.

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.
