As people grow older, they can become vulnerable to feelings of loneliness and isolation. As mobility is restricted through illness or gradual ageing, going out and socialising like they once did can be difficult. Combined with losing their friends or spouse, older people can be at risk of receiving no social interaction. A study by Age UK in 2014 reported that over two-fifths of all older people say their television is their main company. It’s clear to see the benefit of companion services to someone. Anything from general conversation to helping arrange appointments and travel arrangements, engaging in hobbies and shared interests can significantly impact someone’s life.

At Spring Consult, we believe that companionship services are crucial and can often help slow the onset of immobility or other diseases like Alzheimer’s. Companionship is a valued service for older clients through the social interaction that companionship offers and the mental engagement and stimulation. Companionship services can be provided as a sole caring service and should be considered for older adults living alone. At Spring Consult, we ensure that companionship is also a natural part of the other care services.

A senior care job with Spring Consult can involve home help services, personal care, specialist Alzheimer’s and dementia care, palliative care, convalescent care and much more. In each of these areas, our carers aim to provide friendship and companionship in addition to the other tasks and duties they’re responsible for. At Spring Consult, we believe everyone deserves individual care and attention.
