Why is companionship important?

Companionship can have huge benefits to the mental and physical health and wellbeing of a person. Social interaction can be an important factor in preventing isolation and loneliness in the elderly.

At Right at Home Bournemouth and Poole, we recognise the value of having a friendly and trusted visitor to talk to. Our homecare support team go beyond helping with daily activities. When it comes to companionship, our Carers in Bournemouth always aim to put a smile on someone’s face.

What are the benefits of companionship and support?

Companionship can allow you to regain or enable your independence by getting out in the community and boosting your self-esteem.

Our Clients love to experience community life in Bournemouth, including taking a stroll along Poole Quay to see the yachts finished in the Sunseeker Yard.

Our CareGivers are available to support however and whenever they are needed. Companion care can help you take the first steps towards meeting new people, rediscovering old hobbies or taking up new interests.

Most of all, we aim to match our CareGivers and Clients so they share interests and personality traits. In doing so, both can benefit from a genuine friendship, built on trust and mutual understanding.

You’ve got a friend in us…

"I look upon my Carer as a friend who calls upon me to ensure my continuing good health. I do not require her to do any housework but we chat about current affairs and any subjects in which we have a common interest."
