About companionship and sitting
Regular visits for company: a chat over a cuppa, a game of cards, a walk, reading the paper together, or simply being there so someone isn't on their own all day. Sitting can also mean staying with someone while a family carer goes out.
Questions families ask
How long is a companionship visit?
Whatever you agree. Many families start with an hour or two, once or twice a week. Some carers have a minimum visit length, so it's worth asking.
Is companionship really worth paying for?
Loneliness can wear people down as much as any physical problem. Many families find a regular visitor lifts their loved one's mood, gives the day a shape, and gives everyone peace of mind.
Can a companion take Dad out?
Many will, on foot, by bus or in their own car. If they drive, ask whether their car insurance covers business use.
