Your Services
HOME CARE
Home care is a bespoke support option that lets you receive first-rate care in your own home.
Also known as ‘care at home’, home care gives you or your loved ones the opportunity to receive expert assistance in your own home. Home care can be received as little or as often as required – every individual will have their own set of care needs, which makes it important to have full flexibility over the support that you receive.
One-to-one care
Home care gives you the opportunity to receive personal one-to-one support from your own carer, meaning you’ll always have their full attention
Maintain routines and hobbies
From board games to going to the theatre, receiving care at home means you’ll be able to continue the routines and hobbies you enjoy
Stay in a familiar environment
Many people relish the chance to remain in the comfortable, secure surroundings of home whilst receiving the additional support they need

Companionship Care
Companionship care can greatly improve the quality of life for people who enjoy social interaction and need emotional support.
At SHONA CARE, our companionship care helps to reduce loneliness by matching you with a caregiver who shares your interests and values. We make sure you see the same caregiver for each visit, planning schedules two weeks in advance.
This way, you get to know your caregiver well, and they can give you the best support and friendship. This friendly connection helps you feel happier and more supported every day.

Companionship Care goes beyond basic assistance. It's about forming meaningful connections and providing emotional support.

CARE PLAN
A comprehensive care plan should incorporate companionship care alongside other forms of support to address the diverse needs of clients effectively.
