Companionship Care with TLC
Companionship Care
Our Companion Care is primarily emotional support and companionship for seniors. The majority of our clients are generally healthy and want to remain independent at home rather than move into care or residential homes. The majority of elderly clients just want to see someone regularly and have someone to talk to and have fun with.

What can your carers do?
Our carers can also help with day to day tasks around the home if needed and these can include; putting the bins out on the right day, helping with letters or correspondence, making sure medical appointments are missed, or just sitting down and talking about the TV programmes they have watched, books they have read, their family or loved ones, or times when they were growing up.
It is well known that even if you haven’t got someone coming into your home daily that just the thought of knowing your carer will be there the next day or in the following days makes you feel less isolated and ensures you look forward to them coming.
Our Companionship carers priority is to make sure their clients are relaxed, feel safe, and are content and secure living confidently in their own home.
Companionship & Maintaining Good Mental Health
Our carers put your own and your family’s mind at ease by providing regular social interaction that promotes the mental wellbeing of your loved one. Stress can be detrimental to your physical and mental health, and loneliness and isolation can often be a cause of stress and anxiety.
When we laugh our bodies release endorphins and these are brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters that make us feel happy as well as being a natural pain and stress reliever. Laughing also reduces levels of cortisol, the stress hormone in our bodies, giving us quick bursts of energy.
Regular laughter makes us feel happy and content as well as reducing stress and anxiety. Our TLC Companionship Carers aim is to have regular and happy social interaction with their clients, promoting their health and well-being.
Our Companionship Care process
Before Companionship Care starts with TLC, one of our care managers comes to your home and talks to you about what you are looking for from your time with our carers. They will assess the level of support you need, along with any activities that you would like to help you with if there are any. This ensures that your care plan is bespoke to you and the things that are important to you. We understand that regular social interaction and retaining independence are key to our clients and this is our main focus when we are planning your companionship care plan.
At TLC, we spend time getting to know you to ensure we match our carers to you. Our matching criteria include; our carers training, qualifications as well as their personality, hobbies, and interests. We understand that someone coming into your home can take time to adjust to so we want to ensure that you have similar interests and backgrounds as a good starting point.
