Hospital companionship and family respite services provide practical and emotional support to families caring for a dependent person who requires hospitalisation or temporary care.

Hospital companionship involves a qualified professional accompanying the patient during hospital admissions, medical appointments, or treatments. The professional provides companionship, helps facilitate communication with healthcare staff, and offers basic personal assistance, such as support with hygiene, meals, and everyday needs throughout the hospital stay. This service ensures that the patient is never alone while giving family members peace of mind.

Family respite care offers temporary relief to primary caregivers. For a few hours or several days, the dependent person receives professional care either at home, in a day care centre, or in a residential care setting, allowing family caregivers to rest, attend to personal matters, or simply take a well-deserved break.

Together, these services enhance the well-being and quality of life of both the person receiving care and their family.
