What are companionship services?
Companion Care is a non-medical service that can be customized and tailored to fit an individual and their needs. It is a service that can be applied at home or while out in the community. In general terms, companion care spans both the social and physical care of an individual. The goal of companion care as a service is to:

Provide emotional support

Improve the quality of life

Provide companionship

Our companionship support package will be created just for you, and may involve:

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.

2. 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​
3. Hobbies and holidays
   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 you 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.
4. Driving and chaperoning
   Getting from one point to another in the UK 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.

Accepting a new person into 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.

At Double Em Care Services we thoroughly vet our carers, we ensure that every one of them and companions that visit and support you at home is of the highest quality and will support you with whatever they can to ensure you are living the life that you want to
