Companionship

Companionship

More than 2 million people in the UK over the age of 75 live alone. Many of these are immobile. Social isolation can occur for a variety of reasons. Feeling alone and vulnerable can lead to depression and a serious decline in health and well-being.

  • Meal Prep

We work with you to prepare meals that are not only nutritious but that you enjoy. We maintain your independence encouraging you to help with preparation according to your ability. Many individuals find it difficult to stay hydrated and eat nutritious meals. Our No Place Like Home Midlands’ carers ensures that you receive the nutrition and hydration you need.

We are on hand to assist with washing, drying, and putting clothes away. We listen to your preferences carefully to make sure that this is done according to your preferences.

Visiting shops of your choice is just one of the services we can provide. Many clients like to come shopping with us, or, at your request, we can do this for you. Any spending incurred on your behalf our carers will provide receipts for. We are also able to run errands such as collecting prescriptions from the chemist or going to the post office.

  • Transport

We are able to provide transportation to help you get to other care services such as medical appointments, hairdressers, shopping, or wherever else you want to go. It is important to us that you are able to still get out and enjoy life.

We can wash and brush your hair as well as assisting you to dress, helping you to feel good about yourself.
