As our loved ones age, their need for support and companionship becomes increasingly important, especially during the quiet hours of the night.
In Malta, where family values and close-knit communities are cherished, ensuring the well-being of our seniors is a top priority. Idea Care is proud to introduce the SafeNight Companion, a dedicated nighttime care service that provides seniors with a professional carer who stays with them throughout the night, offering companionship, emotional support, and peace of mind. For many seniors, nighttime can be a challenging period β particularly now that Winter is fast approaching when short days and bad weather may bring increased feelings of vulnerability, loneliness, and anxiety.
Health issues often become more pronounced at night, and the fear of not having immediate help in case of an emergency can be overwhelming. Families, particularly those with careers and responsibilities of their own, may find it difficult to provide round-the-clock support. SafeNight Companion bridges this gap by placing a compassionate, trained professional in their home during the night hours; expertly backed by a dedicated after-hours response team ensuring that seniors are cared for, comforted, and safe at all times.
Loneliness is a significant concern among the elderly, and it can have serious implications for their mental and physical health. Studies have shown that social isolation can lead to depression, cognitive decline, and even increase the risk of chronic diseases. Recent studies have shown that loneliness can affect physical health in ways comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
SafeNight Companion addresses this by providing a friendly presence in the home. Our carers engage with seniors through conversations, sharing stories, and offering a listening ear. Our carers are trained to provide emotional support, understanding the unique challenges that come with aging. They are attentive to signs of distress, anxiety, or discomfort, and are equipped to provide calming reassurance.
