Back Home Visitors / Palliative Care Companions provides friendship for anyone of any age, including elderly people nearing the end of their lives, who live alone in the community, or are returning home from hospital and face loneliness and/or isolation. Support encompasses regular home visits, telephone befriending and engaging in mutually enjoyable activities in or outwith the home. Beneficiaries feel less isolated, more confident on returning home, and more socially connected.
