Companionship

Our companionship service reduces the potential for isolation by offering friendship, conversation and someone with whom to share hobbies and interests.

Offering companionship, care, and conversation to older people living in Lewisham, Greenwich, Kent, Southwark, and Tower Hamlets

While maintaining physical health and fitness is important as you get older, emotional and social well-being is just as important to quality of life. Family members and friends do not always live close enough at hand to visit regularly, and bereavement can leave you without a spouse, partner or friend with whom to share your twilight years.

Regular social interaction and companionship is vital to keeping you alert, engaged and with purpose to your life.

As part of our companionship service, our friendly, courteous carers will spend time with you or your loved one, helping with the crossword, joining in with hobbies and interests, tidying the garden, attending social events, or sometimes just having a good chat over a cup of tea. These simple tasks can often mean so much when there is no one else readily available to share them with, and can stop you or your loved one becoming isolated or lonely.
