A carer from Christies Care will help prevent someone from being lonely. Simply by being there; by doing tasks around the house, the carer provides companionship. 

When the carer is present there is someone to talk to, someone to share good moments with, an end to being alone. The carer can be there either for an hour or so a week, or a couple of hours a day. Or, if someone really wants or needs somebody else to be in the house all the time (perhaps for reassurance, maybe because of a risk of falls, maybe to help with other things like going to the toilet), a live-in carer will provide all the companionship and help you need. 

Companionship doesn’t always stop people being lonely, though. We know that to successfully fight loneliness, you need to achieve the opposite state – a sense of belonging. Christies Carers are trained to give our clients that sense of being valued and useful. They encourage their clients to make decisions, to help, to be sociable, to be useful, as much as they can. This may be as little as the client drying up or being asked how to cook something, to the carer enabling and encouraging our client to lead an extremely active life.

Our carers help people to rejoin their communities, to do things that are useful and to be truly valued by others.
