The Importance of Companionship for Psychological Well-being

Older people are especially vulnerable to loneliness and social isolation – and it can have a serious effect on health. Hundreds of thousands of elderly people are lonely and cut off from society in the UK, especially those over the age of 75.

According to Age UK, more than 2 million people in England over the age of 75 live alone, and more than a million older people say they go over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member.

People can become socially isolated for a variety of reasons, such as getting older or weaker, no longer being the hub of their family, leaving the workplace, the deaths of spouses and friends, or through disability or illness.

Whatever the cause, it’s shockingly easy to be left feeling alone and vulnerable, which can lead to depression and a serious decline in physical health and wellbeing.

Social contact with other people is a crucial aspect of our psychological well-being. In addition to providing home care services, ICare helps to enhance the independence, dignity, and privacy of individuals as they age and require additional assistance. We can assist you whether you are looking for companionship or assistance for yourself or a loved one.

Invaluable Support for Those in Need

As a companionship care service, we provide invaluable support to those who have experienced the departure of their families and need some extra assistance at home. ICare companionship services are a great option if you feel lonely or isolated at home and are concerned about your present and future care needs.

With companionship from ICare, you can engage in interactions and activities that promote your physical and cognitive well-being. We foster a nurturing environment through activities like reading or creating a memory book, maintaining social skills, and engaging in stimulating interactions.

ICare companionship can support your self-esteem, sense of purpose, and confidence.
