Companionship


Finding a companion

At Imet Health Home Care, every single one of our carers is directly recruited, employed and trained by us. As a family-run business and not an agency we can offer continuity of carer throughout our live-in care and visiting support services meaning that you can build familiarity and a friendship with your companion.


Accepting a new person in to your home can be a daunting prospect, but having a regular companion to assist with hobbies, activities and errands means that you can develop a great relationship that we know a lot of our customers wouldn’t be without.

Thoroughly vetted and checked by us, we ensure that every one of our carers and companions that visit and support you at home are of the highest quality and will support you with whatever they can to ensure you are living the life that you want to.

Each one of our carers is DBS (criminally) checked, reference checked and has graduated from our Centre of Excellence, thehome careindustry’s only training programme that is endorsed by Skills for Care.



What are companionship services?

With quality companionship services, tailored to your own wants and needs, you can live a fulfilling and independent life. This package of companion care can include almost anything that isn’t medical or personal care. Your unique package of companionship support will be created just for you, and may involve:


Company


The loss of a loved one, limited mobility or family members who don’t live locally. These are hurdles which can often seem difficult to overcome. But a friendly and familiar face can take you out and about, support you around the house or even just sit and have a natter, a cup of tea and a biscuit a couple of times a week to lift a weight from your shoulders.

Running errands


Sometimes the things that you used to take for granted can be so difficult to achieve, but with our handy personal assistants there to support you with shopping, dropping things to the post office or picking up your pension you can relax in the knowledge that your jobs will be done when you need them to be.

Hobbies & Holiday


There are a lot of things we like to do that help us feel human and enjoy our lives, and we know that an injury or illness is no reason for these things to stop. Your carer or personal assistant can support with physical activities like going swimming or out for a walk. If you attend social groups, classes or a day centre, he or she can accompany you and offer support while you are there. They can even assist you on holiday, in the UK or abroad, to help you get the most out of the experience.

Driving and Chaperoning

Getting from A to B isn’t always plain and simple. That’s why our carers can either drive you or accompany you on public transport to wherever you need to go, be that to an appointment, day out or social engagement.
