Frequently Asked Questions
Care can be confusing, and sometimes challenging to talk about. We’ve answered some common questions below.
What is companionship care, and how does Hygea Homecare provide it for seniors?
Companionship care focuses on offering social interaction, emotional support, and assistance with daily activities to help seniors maintain a high quality of life. Hygea Homecare provides trained caregivers who engage with clients in conversation, hobbies, and light activities to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.
What types of activities do Hygea Homecare caregivers engage in with seniors?
Hygea Homecare caregivers participate in activities based on the senior’s interests, such as playing games, reading, watching movies, going for walks, assisting with hobbies, and even accompanying them to social events or appointments. These activities are tailored to keep clients mentally engaged and active.
How can companionship care benefit a senior’s mental and emotional health?
Companionship care reduces loneliness, provides a sense of connection, and promotes mental stimulation. This social interaction can improve mood, reduce anxiety and depression, and support cognitive health, helping seniors feel happier and more engaged.
How does Hygea Homecare match caregivers with seniors for companionship care?
Hygea Homecare considers the client’s personality, interests, and specific needs to match them with a compatible caregiver. This personalised matching process helps foster a trusting and enjoyable relationship between the senior and their caregiver.
Can companionship care be provided on a flexible schedule?
Yes, Hygea Homecare offers flexible scheduling to accommodate the needs of the senior and their families. Whether they require companionship care daily, weekly, or at specific times, Hygea Homecare can customise services based on the client’s preferences and lifestyle.
How does companionship care support seniors who live alone?
Companionship care provides regular social interaction and a sense of security for seniors who live alone. Hygea Homecare caregivers can help with light household tasks, offer companionship, and be a reliable presence that reduces isolation and provides peace of mind for both the senior and their family.
Are Hygea Homecare caregivers trained to support seniors with memory issues, like dementia?
Yes, Hygea Homecare caregivers receive training to support seniors with dementia or other cognitive challenges. They use gentle communication, engage in memory-supportive activities, and create a structured, reassuring environment to help seniors feel comfortable and safe.
How quickly can care be arranged?
It is essential that we ensure that all provisions are in place before care starts, we strive to complete the assessment, formulate a care plan, and gather GP summaries as quickly as possible. Sometimes in urgent cases we can turn this around within 24-48 hours, but can take up to 5 days from the assessment.
How do I pay for companionship?
Paying for care is managed through a direct debit directly with the client or family. If you are receiving funding through other means, such as social services, in full or in part, you will need to contact your social worker to arrange care under Hygea Homecare.
If you or a family member is living with an ongoing health condition, it is worth applying for NHS Continuing Healthcare, too. If you meet the criteria, this form of funding will cover every penny of your care costs. However, bear in mind that this funding is reserved for complex conditions which may fall out of the scope of what a self-employed carer can provide.
