Person-Centred Companionship Care in Kent
For many families living far away from loved ones, it can be very difficult to help an older parent, family member or friend living on their own. A health condition or increasingly limited mobility can increase isolation for elderly people, or maybe there just aren’t as many friends around to spend time with as there once were who are able to offer daily companionship care.
Loneliness can have a significant impact on mental health and wellbeing, which in turn can delay recovery from illness and injury. Companionship home care offers a friendly face and allows you to take back control of your life, re-enabling involvement in social events and activities.
Whether you’re in Canterbury, Herne-Bay, Dover or another area of Kent, our trusted local carers are here to support you with flexible, person-centred companionship care.
What can companionship care look like?
Home Support With Light Household Tasks
Small chores can become strenuous as we get older and a little help can go a long way. Companionship care helps our service users remain independent in the comfort of their own home whilst having someone to count on for the tasks that have become increasingly more difficult with time.
Home Support With Hobbies & Interests
Our care team takes pride in getting to know your loved one and the things that make them happy. Companionship care encourages service users to enjoy their hobbies and interests with as much or as little support as required.
Attending Social Events & Appointments
We know that it can be difficult for families who live away from their older relatives to always be able to accommodate dates that are important to their loved ones. Whether it’s an afternoon tea with a friend or a doctor’s appointment that just can’t be missed, our carers are able to step in and ensure your loved one remains safe whilst out and about.
Domestic and Practical Home Support
MyLife recognises the unique challenges our service users may face while living at home, and our approach to care reflects this. Our specialist carers not only provide knowledge and support for care needs, but can also assist with domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning and housework.
Sharing Meals & Conversation
As life gets busier, families often find themselves pulled in many directions, leaving less time for regular visits. For those who have lost a spouse, mealtimes can be particularly isolating. MyLife’s companionship service offers your loved one a trusted someone to share a meal with, talk to, laugh with, and simply be present can turn a lonely moment into one filled with warmth and connection.
