eCOMPANION
EXPAND SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND PERSONAL CONFIDENCE
Companion care is ideal for people who would otherwise spend a large part of the day alone and who require some light assistance. It enables safe and independent living at home.
eCompanion Care offers companionship and conversation for emotional support by friendly, home-based care companions that 'connect’ remotely via a simplified 4G mobile tablet.
They keep daily a watchful eye out, support management of the care agenda, making appointments, read aloud or discuss topics of interest.
BUILDING SOCIAL BRIDGES
​Companion care providers, also called "elder companions, do just what the name says: provide company for people who live alone and are mobility restricted, temporarily or permanently.
​
With their help family members can work or handle other activities knowing their loved one isn't left alone, providing a peace of mind. Companion care also provides a valuable social benefit, decreasing isolation and improving mood.
Warm relationships are often formed when a consistent companion is on the job as talking to familiar people improving confidence and mental health.
UNCONVENTIONAL? MAYBE... NEEDED? DEFINITELY!
The only thing the client needs to do is press the button to accept the incoming video call and the conversation can start, as frequently as planned.
