Blue Arrow Care is passionate about tackling isolation and offers a free companionship service to all clients.
This is a visit every two months by one of our team, to spend quality time with the client as well as this we do 4 free events a year for clients to attend.
From going out for dinner to going to the beach to enabling a lifelong dream the companionship scheme is here to enable clients to do something they may not think they would be able to do anymore.
All of our care team volunteer their time for the Companionship Service this is overseen by Hayley our Companionship service & Events Co-Ordinator , Each team member goes out of their way to tailor the day’s outing to exactly what the client would like to do.
We also try to ensure we pair up clients with their regular carer so its not a stranger coming to take them out for the day, This builds a great repour between the clients & carer as they get to see each other on a different level than just day to day care delivery.
For clients who are unable to get out into the community we bring the service to their home enabling their family member, full time carer to have a break. We have even gone as far as sending a carer to sit with many clients whilst one of the managers takes out our client’s family member to get them out of the house and having a carer there means their mind is not at home worrying as they know someone familiar is with their loved one!
The service is for everyone and we will always adapt it to a person’s needs to ensure we can deliver this scheme to all.
Since we opened in 2015 we have delivered over 750 free visits to clients.
The Companionship Service as well as our events are fully funded by Blue Arrow Care and is our way of giving back to our clients & tackling social isolation within our community,
