Companionship Services for Senior Citizens
Companionship offers opportunities for conversation, social interaction and shared everyday activities. For older adults whose family members live elsewhere, an agreed visit can provide time to talk and connect with another person.
REACT can discuss coordinating suitable companionship visits according to the individual's preferences and the agreed service scope. The purpose, duration, frequency and activities should be clarified before visits begin.
Companionship is not a substitute for professional nursing, medical treatment, psychological therapy or specialised mental healthcare. Where clinical support is needed, consult an appropriately qualified professional.
