Home Care Service providing Companion Care in Test franchise and surrounding areas

Helping people with the most personal needs such as bathing or dressing demands the utmost trust. Our carefully chosen carers will always be discreet and make their client feel comfortable. Whether it's help with medication or longer term help for people with illnesses such as dementia or Parkinson's, we will endeavour to make daily life more positive.

An increasingly fractured society and an ageing population have led to an epidemic of loneliness amongst the elderly. There's a proven link between loneliness and dementia. Our carers will keep isolation at bay. Sometimes having someone to talk to is the most important thing in the world.

A regular visit each day will bring focus and something to look forward to.

The ability to share thoughts and memories.

Someone who has the time to listen without time pressures.

Sometimes with the best will in the world, you may need a break from an intense period of caring for a family member. We can ease this burden. You can rest easy knowing that your loved one is being cared for while you take a break.

Time off for a relative who may be juggling care with their own work or family.

After having been in hospital, we can spend more time with your relative. The less lonely they are, the quicker the healing process.

If you're going on holiday, we can take over the care until you're back.

Older people find it harder to get the nutrition they need from the food they eat. Often when food is prepared for them, they’re more likely to eat – especially if they have company whilst eating.

We can prepare simple meals for them to eat whenever they choose.

Each carer will get to know what their client likes and can ensure the cupboards are filled.

Sometimes older people need reminding or encouraging to eat something.

If it's possible, our carer will encourage clients to get out and about. This could open their world.

Walks in the sunshine.

Local libraries or museums.

Accompaniment on organised trips by social clubs.

It’s easy to lose touch when travelling alone is too difficult. Our carers can take their clients to rekindle old relationships, see their grandchildren or visit friends in hospital.

We can help with the travel arrangements.

If there's a long-standing hospital appointment, we can accompany our client making sure they get there safely and in good time.

Taking some of the stress away from hospital visits.

Another pair of ears so that we can explain later exactly what the doctor said.

Making sure any medication is collected from the pharmacy.

Reuniting an elderly person with their past interests can be very stimulating. Perhaps they played an instrument or painted. Lets get them involved with local groups and rekindle those interests.

Art classes

Book clubs

Music appreciation

Our carer will make beds, wash up, even do some light gardening if needed. As long as this is discussed initially, we will find the person with the necessary skills to suit.
