Live-in care FAQ
You will learn more from FAQ
What is companionship?
Companionship care supports the social and emotional well-being for people who are feeling isolated or lonely, whilst alleviating some of the pressure from family members.
Loneliness affects a large number of people in the UK and is particularly prevalent among the over 65’s. There are many misconceptions about home care, with most people feeling it’s only needed after a relative has a fall, is coming home from hospital, or is not very well.
However, because of the increasing levels of loneliness in older people, home care services are approached more often and at an earlier stage of life to give companionship and help with day to day activities.
What a companionship carer can help you with?
Companionship support offers conversation, someone to listen to your stories, ask you about your day, and share experiences with, including hobbies.
There are so many things you can do with the carer. You choose what you would like to do and this might be both of you reading a book and discussing it, a bit like having your own book club.
Play chess, watch your favourite television shows together and talk about it.
Going for a walk, getting out to social events, the theatre, or cinema. Going shopping, setting the world to rights over a cup of tea, or sharing a meal together.
All of the little things that make life worth living with a friendly face.
A companion carer will also be able to prepare meals and do some light housework if that is also needed.
If personal care is required or more healthcare needs, then a companionship carer would be used in addition to a regular carer.
An additional benefit to companionship care is that you have someone with you who can raise an alarm if anything is wrong.
Why is companionship care needed?
Social isolation and feelings of loneliness is detrimental to our mental health and in turn affecting our physical health too. Mental wellbeing is linked to our physical health; when we are feeling happy and positive, we tend to get well faster, and our body functions better.
When we link this to being older, perhaps with less mobility, and not seeing people as much as we used to, feelings of loneliness can creep in.
Some elderly people may not see many people face to face during a week and over time this will become a danger to mental health as loneliness and isolation creeps in
A companionship carer is there to help with and encourage social engagement.
Who is the elderly companionship carer and will I like them?
Companionship carers are chosen following an assessment and discovery meeting with you. You will need to tell the provider what your likes and dislikes are, and what you would like from your companionship carer.
It’s not possible to provide a person as an exact match to everything on your list, however, personality is looked at as well as interests and skills. It is important you can have meaningful conversations with the person and get along well.

Who we care for
We have over 25 years experience in working with people from a range of different backgrounds, with very different needs. We care for the elderly, all generations with disabilities, those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and dementia, as well as those who have suffered a severe injury or are struggling with their mental health.
There are many reasons why a person might require a live-in or domiciliary carer and so, whatever your level of need, we’ll always help you to live the life you choose.
For younger clients living with a disability, it might mean providing a mobility aid to help you get around so you can begin to live independently. Getting in and out of bed and to university lectures, for example.Or, for an older client with symptoms of dementia, it might mean a one-to-one carer who can help make sure you are taking their medication and keeping hydrated, while continuing to live in familiar surroundings. We are currently able to provide live-in care across the whole of England and Wales, and domiciliary care in Welwyn, Welwyn Garden City, St Albans, Hatfield, Harpenden and surrounding villages.
