Life begins to slow down as we become older. At Maxxicare, we realise how tough it may be to fit social activities into your hectic schedule. It can help to know that there is a kind, caring companion that visits on a regular basis, whether it is for yourself or for elderly family members nearby or across the nation.

Loneliness is a serious issue that must be addressed as it brings several repercussions with it. Our culture has changed dramatically in the last few decades, and families no longer spend as much time together as they used to. As people age, their social networks may deteriorate as peers pass away, leaving television, radio, and pets as their primary sources of companionship. Fear of toppling over may prevent you or a loved one from venturing out on your own, making it nearly impossible to make new friends.

Because of the global COVID pandemic, we have been compelled to keep our distance from loved ones and spend months alone in our homes. This has exacerbated mental health issues in all age groups, but with many older people needing to protect themselves in order to maintain their health, loneliness among the elderly has increased.

Companionship care is comparable to live-in care in that a Carer lives in your home with you to give full-time assistance. There will, however, be less criteria for more complex care needs.
