Championing independent living for seniors'
Welcome to Senior Assist UK. A professional and trustworthy 'Buddy' flexible one-to-one befriending service proudly helping older people to live independently in their homes.
Getting older can be daunting and a worry for the elderly and their families. Unfortunately, in the UK, we do not provide a systematic level of support to our senior citizens who go can unnoticed by their neighbours, local authority, community health based and social services, with them feeling very isolated, affecting their physical and mental health.
Senior Assist UK aims to bridge the gap by providing elderly clients with the support and assistance for them to continue to manage their daily living routine and be able to access local community and online services.
We would love to offer our services for free, unfortunately we have to make a small affordable fee of £20 per hour which will only start when we arrive.
Below is a list of the type of services, Senior Assist UK do offer to our clients:
Senior companionship - checking in and having a cuppa and a chat
Personal local shopping
Liaising with the local council, adult social services and health authority
Organisation - help organising utility bills, statements in to folders
