AUTUMN LIFE

From one hour to several a month, Autumn Life offer Home Respite Services & Social Companionship for the Elderly, whether living in private residences, assisted living accommodation or care homes.  It is our priority to get to know all our clients through reminiscent conversation so that we can attain positive engagement during each visit.

HOME SIT IN RESPITE SERVICES

As a former personal family carer, we appreciate that caring responsibilities may often become a priority, to the extent that a carer’s own needs can often be put to one side. Autumn Life can provide the support necessary to enable a carer to have vitally important respite, whether to attend an appointment, do a little shopping or just have coffee with friends, knowing that your loved one is in safe company.

SOCIAL COMPANIONSHIP FOR THE ELDERLY (PRIVATE RESIDENCES & ASSISTED LIVING ACCOMMODATION)

We also provide social companionship to those who are lonely or isolated, or who may have limited social interaction with the outside world. Whether a cup of tea & a chat, or more stimulating activities such as board games or puzzles, Autumn Life can provide valuable & engaging company to those who need it most.  We can also assist with shopping or light housework as required.

SOCIAL COMPANIONSHIP FOR THE ELDERLY (CARE HOMES)

Even the elderly living in a care home facility can be lonely, particularly if they are confined to bed.  We all appreciate how hard care staff work, but that they have little time to provide one-to-one social companionship that is so important for mental well being & positivity.  Even frequent visits by family and friends can be interspersed with periods of extreme loneliness. Autumn Life can visit individual residents in their rooms in order to brighten an otherwise lonely day.

PET COMPANIONSHIP

As many of us know, the companionship of a much loved pet provides great solace and joy, and many elderly people are no longer able to look after a pet full time.  Our dog, Holly, is a 12 year old Llasa Apso and has demonstrated an exceptional empathy with the elderly, including those with dementia. Sweet natured, gentle & kind, Holly is adored by all those who meet her & she loves nothing more than being fussed over, and given lots of treats !  She would accompany us all on visits, regardless of location.
