Private visiting companion for older adults
Many older adults find that their social network becomes smaller over the years. Family members may live far away, friends may no longer be around, and there may be fewer natural opportunities for social interaction in everyday life.
A visiting companion for older adults can provide companionship and social contact in a simple and personal way. The service is suitable, for example, for people who live alone, whose family members are unable to visit as often as they would like, or who simply want more company in everyday life.
A visiting companion can also be a valuable supplement for relatives who would like a family member to have more social contact between family visits.

What can you do together with a visiting companion?

For some people, the activity itself is the most important part. For others, it is mainly about having someone to talk to and knowing that someone will be stopping by.
Consistent and personal social contact
A good personal match and continuity are important when welcoming a new person into everyday life. We therefore try, whenever possible, to create predictability and continuity in the visits.
Before the service begins, we would like to learn a little about the person receiving the visits, including their interests and preferences. Some people enjoy sitting and talking, while others would like to get out of the house more often. This helps us find a solution that suits the individual as well as possible.
