Loneliness in the elderly age is an issue, which needs to be addressed. Companionship care is essentially the same service as live-in-care, however, carers focus on providing company and friendship instead of high levels of personal care.
Why Companionship Needed?
According to research work done, in the UK, over 2 million people over the age of 75 live alone, and a million of these say, they go over a month with no communication with friends and family. Loneliness can be a crucial factor in developing Alzheimer’s disease.
The global coronavirus pandemic has meant having to keep our distance from loved ones and spend months inside our homes with little company. This has worsened mental health concerns across age groups – but with many older people having to shield themselves to protect their health, loneliness experienced by the elderly has increased.
Companionship care is essentially the same service as live-in care, where a carer moves into the home to provide full-time assistance. However, it tends to be less likely the person requiring support will need the higher levels of personal care.
Where do our Solutions Come in?

For elderly people who are feeling exceptionally lonely, are experiencing some health problems, or are just feeling particularly vulnerable living alone, a live-in companion carer is an ideal solution.
