Companionship care

Companionship care in Bournemouth and Poole

Help to live at home

Over time, life starts to change. Ageing often means that our lives start to slow down and routines start to change. It’s normal to find that social activities start to slip away, whether that’s due to busy schedules or health challenges. However, maintaining healthy social lives is crucial for long-term well-being. The companionship may be for you, or it may be for a loved one – either way, just knowing that a compassionate companion is coming to visit can be a relief.

Companionship care is all about offering support in a variety of ways. A companion can offer both practical and social help for an individual. Sometimes, simply having someone around for a cup of tea or a walk around the neighbourhood can elevate a person’s quality of life.


What to expect from companionship care  

Companion care is a dynamic service. This type of care is designed to help somebody to live at home safely and comfortably, offering unique kinds of support to make this possible. For many customers, this may be as simple as companionship visits, having somebody regularly popping over to check up on you and have a chat. For others, their companion offers practical assistance to help make daily life easier.

At Bluebird Care, our companionship services can include various support tasks and activities. This may include:

  • Support with travel arrangements. 
  • Driving you anywhere you may need to go throughout the day. 
  • Planning social outings or visits to friends and family. 
  • Helping with chores and domestic tasks such as laundry, meal preparation, or cleaning.
  • Organising weekly grocery shopping.
  • Joining you in your favourite hobbies and pastimes. 
  • Going out together for walks or other forms of exercise.
  • Arranging and accompanying you to and from any appointments.
  • General conversation and companionship.

How support may benefit you 

Maintaining a social life is essential for a person’s long-term health, but it can often be forgotten. As we stress about all the physical and mental changes that can come with growing older, it’s easy to let the relational side of things slip. Our companionship services are designed to help you or your loved one to lead a stimulating and happy life inside the comfort of their own home. 

Even if the service is purely so that you have someone to check in on you and have a chat, the health benefits of that stimulation can be extremely impactful. Companionship is one of our most requested services at Bluebird Care. Our care assistants can become a trusted part of your world, helping to keep you or your loved one socially engaged. Ensuring that they have a reliable companion to offer practical and emotional support is one of the best ways to ensure that living at home is a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience.


Your questions answered 

Can a care companion help with chores?

Absolutely! Your care companion is there for social and practical support. This could include sitting down for a game of cards, helping out with the laundry, taking you to and from appointments, and much more.

How do you assign care assistants?

Our top priority is to give our customers a care  expert that is best suited for their unique needs. To achieve this, we always begin by sending one of our trained assessors to meet with you and discuss your specific needs. Once we have a better understanding of your hobbies, preferences, and requirements, we will recommend the care companion we think is most appropriate.

How often will a care companion visit?

Companionship looks different for everyone. You or your loved one could have daily visits, weekly visits, or any other routine that works best for them. That’s just one perk of our flexible services – it can look however you need it to!

How much do companionship services cost?

The costs attached to companionship services can vary. The price of services will depend on the frequency of the visits and the specific tasks involved, so there is no set price. Feel free to contact the Bluebird Care team to get a better idea of what your needed services may cost.
