Social Care
Whilst living at home has lots of benefits, at times you may feel lonely or isolated. Seeing a friendly face can lift your spirits, break up the day and give you something to look forward to.
Our social care service reassures individuals that someone is there to offer support and gives friends and family confidence that their loved ones are having their social needs met.
Whether you would like some companionship in the morning, perhaps to chat about the morning news, or to have someone to share a cup of tea with in the afternoon, you can arrange a social care call at any time of the day, and as little or often as you want.
During a social care call our carers can:
Pop in for a chat
Attend local community events
Arrange appointments
Assist with attending or arranging hairdresser appointments
Stimulate social awareness
Assist with your hobbies/crafts
Escort to appointments
Discuss current/historical events
Assist with clothes selection
Reminisce about the past
Play games such as cards, chess or a jigsaw puzzle
Plan visits, outings and trips
Take a walk to the park or café
Visit neighbours friends and relatives
We can also provide transport and companionship to family events, visits to church/temple, GP or hospital appointments, library or other places you want to access in the community.
