Whilst many placements are focused on a complex medical need or personal care, companionship care is very different.

Companionship care (sometimes known as social inclusion) is often in place to alleviate loneliness and provide basic support for a client. Typically, a companionship carer will be a source of valuable social interaction for clients, assist with light housework and meal preparation, and encourage/participate in recreational activities.

Companionship care is much less intensive than standard placements. However, if you find that your client requires more support than outlined on the Care Profile, we encourage you to discuss this with your client. We're hear to support you in these conversation and we'll follow up with the customer to update their Care Profile.
