Aged care services empower older Australians to live comfortably and safely in their own homes. On this page, you will find information about companionship services and the impact companion caregivers can have on recipients of home care. Companionship care is more important than many people realise. Research shows that social interaction with other adults is imperative to staying happy and healthy as we age.
People who live alone often experience feelings of loneliness and isolation, which can severely impact their physical and mental health.
Depression and cognitive decline are common issues among older adults. Many adults in Australia are accustomed to interacting with people every day. Friends, family members and co-workers can all supply some degree of companionship that is easy to take for granted. But for older adults, those opportunities to make social connections can diminish for numerous reasons, such as restricted mobility outside the home or no longer connecting with work colleagues after retirement.
