giving back to the community"

Support at Home / Companionship/ Sitting Services

DOES SOMEONE JUST NEED A BIT OF SUPPORT AT HOME?

IS SOMEONE YOU KNOW SOCIALLY ISOLATED?

DO YOU KNOW OF A CARER NEEDING A BREAK?

DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE AT END OF LIFE WHO DOESN’T WANT TO BE ALONE?

We can provide regular or one off visits.

  • Pop in to do a well-being check to reassure families away on holiday or busy at work
  • Spend time with someone who is otherwise home alone
  • Sit with someone at end of life
  • Take someone out in to the community  (See out out and about page)

We can do:

  • Jigsaws
  • Reading
  • Cooking and baking
  • Reminiscing, sharing photographs
  • A bit of housework (cleaning services are not included)
  • Chatting
  • Playing a game
  • Something of your choice

Or we can:

  • Eat or have coffee with you
  • Watch television, listen to music
  • Share hobbies
  • Share some ‘you’ time
  • Just sit with you and hold your hand

“Being immobile, Appoint Us staff take photos for me so I can see in my fridge, or what’s in my garden etc. This gives me such a buzz as I don’t feel so excluded. The little things they do are so thoughtful.”

“Appoint Us staff are so lovely — a breath of fresh air… I feel like I’ve been given my independence back.”

“When Mum was at end of life, it was so hard on the family to always have someone there. Appoint Us staff were so supportive and compassionate and filled the gaps we couldn’t cover. Mum adored them.”

“Appoint Us staff set Alexa up all over my home so I can control my lights, my TV, my fire etc all from my armchair. So important as I am not mobile.”
