Social Support & Companionship

Sometimes the most valuable support isn't a task at all. It's someone to talk to, a lift to an appointment, or company for a walk.

Questions about Social Support

Will it be the same person visiting each time?
Yes, that's the whole point. Companionship is a relationship, and you'll see the same familiar face, week after week.
Can you drive me to appointments?
Yes. Transport to medical appointments, shopping and social outings is one of the most valued parts of this service.
My mum says she doesn't want a stranger in the house. Does this work?
We hear this often, and it changes fast. We introduce our people gently, follow your mum's lead, and let the relationship build at her pace. Most reluctant clients end up looking forward to visits.
Can family living interstate arrange this?
Yes, and many do. We keep you in the loop with how visits are going, with your parent's consent, always.
Is social support covered by funding?
Social support and community participation are commonly covered by government-funded aged care support at home, DVA arrangements and NDIS plans. We'll help you work out what applies.
