We appreciate that every individual has different social needs, and that these needs can vary on a day-to-day basis. Our SupportGivers are skilled at assessing situations and understand that sometimes, seeing a friendly face is enough. If an older person doesn’t feel up to a conversation, our SupportGivers will happily engage in other activities, whether that’s preparing a hot drink or helping with crafts in comfortable silence.
Sometimes, people just need to talk. Our SupportGivers are all excellent listeners, so if an older person would like to share their experiences, remember old times or simply chat about their daily life, that’s absolutely fine with us. By befriending the people they assist, our staff often come to be trusted companions and confidants, all while respecting the personal wishes and boundaries of their customers
