Companionship: Live-in Care

What is companionship care?

Companionship care aims to reduce or prevent loneliness in an elderly person. Companionship care provides support for those who may be isolated but are still healthy and happy to remain in their own home.  

Companionship care is the perfect care option for many people because it means the person receiving care can stay in their own home, the place that they love the most. Home is a place that is familiar, holds years of memories and brings happiness and comfort. By providing a live-in carer, we can ensure all daily aspects of home living are supported: preparing meals, arranging appointments, accessing the community, keeping in touch with loved ones and much else besides.  

If a person wishes to remain at home and avoid the upheaval and separation of moving away into residential care, Elite is here to help them maintain a level of independence, remain close to their community, keep to familiar routines and stay with their possessions.  

Loneliness and social isolation have been shown to cause gradual deterioration in the physical and mental health of those affected. Companionship and emotional support are vital for everyone's well-being, whatever their age.
