What is Companionship Care?
Companionship care is a type of support designed to bring warmth and friendship to your loved one’s life, as well as offering practical support such as help with household chores, everyday errands, and more.

Whether it’s a sympathetic ear on a bad day or support to attend a social outing, companionship care helps your loved one stay connected, reducing their risk of isolation, anxiety, and depression.

As part of our companionship care services, we’ll match your loved one with a friendly, dedicated care assistant, who’ll offer tailored support and friendship.

From regular weekly catch-ups to daily visits, companionship care is unique to your loved one’s needs, offering support with everything from everyday errands to meal preparation and more.

The goal of companionship care at home is to empower your loved one to live a rich, fulfilling life filled with the type of friendship and support they deserve.

What’s included with our companionship services?
Our companionship care at home is a flexible, personalised service designed to meet your loved one’s unique needs and preferences. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and will work with your loved one to design a care package that suits them, with services including:

Reminisce about the past

Help with shopping

Cooking up and sharing healthy, delicious meals

Help with pursuing hobbies, whether it’s needlepoint at home or birdwatching at the local nature reserve

Support with everyday tasks around the house, like emptying the dishwasher or changing the lightbulb

Helping your loved one get where they want to go, whether it’s a friend’s house or the community theatre

Someone to hold their hand on the way to the GP

Unexpected outings they’ll talk about for days

What’s the difference between a companion and a caregiver?
While companions and caregivers both provide invaluable support, they’re not entirely the same.

A companion typically focuses on emotional support, such as engaging in meaningful conversations, offering a sympathetic ear, and participating in hobbies. Think of them as a friend, always on hand to listen.

A caregiver is trained to offer more complex practical support, including help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication management and administration. Caregivers do provide emotional support, but their focus is more practical, making them best suited to those with complex needs.

Ultimately, companionship care helps your loved one feel engaged, valued, and less isolated, making it a wonderful option for those who don’t require intensive medical support but still need a caring companion in their day-to-day life.

How to arrange companionship care
If you’re keen to arrange companionship care for your loved one, the process begins with a friendly chat with your local Bluebird Care office, during which a professional will assess your loved one’s needs and help you arrange a companionship care package tailored to their unique needs.

From there, they’ll be matched with a small, dedicated team of companions with whom we feel they’ll hit it off, setting the stage for a genuine bond to develop.

Getting in touch
If this sounds like the kind of service your loved one needs, get in touch with us at your local office. We’d love to see how we can help.
