We all thrive differently – so our service reflects that
Companionship is designed to help you maintain independence, with the support of a friendly companion.
This service is not about health-related assistance – it’s about ensuring you can thrive, however you choose.
Why companionship matters
Companionship is about matching you with a Walfinch carer who you truly geton with. It’s a great way to help you:
- Socialise with old and new friends
- Become more independent
- Travel to places and get around Carry out household tasks, like changing the bedding
- Gain greater confidence in and out of the house
- Take thriving into your own hands
- Talk with someone
It also provides your family with the peace of mind that you’re still able to thrive, without them present.
Who is suited to companionship?
A companion focuses on social and emotional value, not providing personal care or medical assistance. If you are someone who doesn’t need intensive medical support or frequent assistance, but want a companion to help you thrive on a regular basis, companionship would suit you.
