Everycare Mid Sussex – Companionship Services
Companionship care services in Cuckfield, Hassocks, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and the surrounding areas
In many cases where companionship care is required for people living independently, it is the small, simple things that can make a huge difference to our customers and their ability to function in a way which will help their overall health, well-being and happiness.
The Everycare companionship service in Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and the surrounding Mid Sussex area provides not just stress relief for immediate family members (in itself a considerable benefit) but also provides for a healthy interaction and perhaps light activity that are vital for service users in retaining cognitive abilities and physical health.
Our kind, thoughtful and experienced carers really enjoy working with their service users and are prepared to go the extra mile to ensure that the service provides maximum benefit. We often find that our customers are much more likely to accomplish tasks and participate in favourite activities when they simply have a companion with whom to enjoy them with.
