The truth about loneliness in the UK is quite shocking. According to the British Red Cross over 9 million people across all age groups feel lonely either often or always.
At Oaks Care, we want to help people dealing with isolation. That’s why our team of experienced carers are able to combine practical support with meaningful connection to help generate emotional wellbeing for people – all in the comfort of their own homes.
Our dedicated carers work hard to build trusting relationships with their clients. They create enjoyable and stimulating activities, as well as offering companionship to alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation.
With heartfelt care and personalised attention, our companionship services aim to being joy and a human touch to improve the quality of life for those we serve.
One of the biggest things our Oaks Care companions do, is to engage in meaningful conversations and social interactions with the people they care for.
We train them to actively listen and communicate with clients, to build a nurturing environment where people feel heard and valued.
These interactions can provide a strong sense of companionship and reduce feelings of isolation, especially for older people or individuals living alone.
Along with emotional support, our carers also engage clients in stimulating activities built around the interests and abilities of the person they’re looking after.
These activities might include playing games, reading books together, doing puzzles, creative crafting, or engaging in hobbies.
We believe that stimulating the mind with these activities not only helps keep cognitive functions active, but also provides a sense of accomplishment and joy.
Oaks Care can offer assistance with daily living, helping people maintain their independence while receiving much-needed support.
Our carers can help with meal preparation, housekeeping, medication reminders, and accompanying the people they’re caring for on errands or taking them to appointments.
If needed, the team at Oaks Care can help their clients to engage in light exercises or accompany them on walks to promote physical activity and overall health.
These small changes can make a big difference in people’s lives – not just from the health benefits, but also bring a sense of achievement and wellbeing.
We would be very happy to discuss your care needs – you can give us a call on 01732 440210 or email enquiries@oakscareholdings.com and we’ll be in touch. There’s no obligation and no pressure, just people who care about you and what you need.
