Viva Independent Living provide a professional companionship service for seniors and elderly people in Edinburgh. A professional companion can transform an older person’s life. Regular social contact not only empowers an elderly person, but having a companion can also reduce feelings of social isolation and loneliness. This in turn leads to improved mental wellbeing, and a greater sense of independence.We ease the strain on family members by helping their loved one with necessities like shopping, appointments and even just having a blether over a cup of tea. This means that when you DO have time to spend with an elderly loved-one, it can be quality time – rather than catching up with their day-to-day needs.
