Companion care is about providing seniors with emotional support and encouragement to stay as healthy as possible. When you think about the word “companionship”, what comes to mind? Friendship. Fellowship. Community.

As we get older and our circumstances are limited to our ability to get together with family, friend, travel or to drive a car sometime it become in losing touch. According to study that show, there are more than million aged people in the United Kingdom who spend up to a month without speaking to anyone. They are fairly independent and do not see the need to move into a retirement home (statistics indicate that a massive 97% do not want to). Yet would appreciate some company – someone to talk to, and help around with things in the house.

This is where Recruit 4care can be of assistance. We can provide you with a carer who can come over for part of the day and whose interests are largely the same as yours. We go through great pains to match the right carer with the right client.
