Companionship Care with TLC

Whatever age you are, loneliness is something that we would all struggle with and it is definitely a problem in our society today.

It is well known that loneliness has a wide range of negative effects on people’s physical and mental health and these can include: depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, and strokes. It can cause increased stress levels and make you focus and dwell on things that you wouldn’t normally do, making you feel anxious and sad.

Loneliness is mostly talked about when we think about the elderly. Some people may not have any family, their friends may have passed away, they may not have family living near them, their family may have a busy family and work-life so they can’t spend as much time with their loved ones as they would like to.

Imagine not seeing or speaking to anyone for days or weeks on end, it would make you feel sad and isolated and that is why Total Living Care (TLC) offers a bespoke companionship care service to give you regular social interaction and help around your home if you need it.

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.

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.

What our carers can do for you

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.

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.

Why TLC is the easy choice

Every one of our companionship care workers is chosen for their professional, warm, and friendly approach to providing exceptional social care to people that need it in their homes. At TLC, we understand that we can only provide the exceptional companionship care that we do if our carers are matched to our client’s needs and our philosophy of; providing a high standard of individual care with respect and dignity.

All of our carers are DBS and reference checked and we have regular and ongoing review meetings with them, our clients, and their families to ensure they are happy with the care we are providing.
