“ ……In very much the same way in which a daughter may visit her mother, a Partenaire will arrive, have a cup of tea and chat, followed by a quick check around the house to make certain everything is going well……”
Our Partenaire service provides experienced companionship for clients who are able to do personal things for themselves but have challenges with companionship, isolation and transportation.
In the same manner that an Au Pair is trained as a nanny for children, a Partenaire is experienced in the companionship of the Senior Citizen.
The difference between Nursing and Partenaire care is that nursing concentrates on physical health, whereas Partenaire focuses on mental well being and fulfillment of an interesting life.
In the past we lived in small communities and were able to be involved in the day to day lives of our parents and grandparents. Today life is transient.
I myself live in Melbourne, Victoria and my parents live in Kingscliff, Northern New South Wales. The unfortunate flow on effect of this is that many elderly people find themselves isolated from their extended families, with little or no opportunity for companionship or to venture outside of their home or nursing home. Our Partenaire service now economically offers terrific company and security in that it provides;
 |
Companionship |
Regular visits provide companionship and mental stimulus, chats, reading or games. |
|
Freedom |
Escort for visits to friends, shopping trips, movies, beaches, parks, medical appointments, or even overseas travel. |
|
Transportation |
Security of having a personal driver who is patient and reliable for day outings or medical appointments. |
|
Peace of Mind |
Routine checks on overall wellbeing, with regular feedback to ensure loved ones are kept informed of welfare. |
A Partenaire embraces the traditional culture of family care. In very much the same way in which a daughter may visit her mother, a Partenaire will arrive mid morning, have a cup of tea and chat, followed by a quick check around the house to make certain everything is going well for her mother, she will then put on a load of washing, repair a blouse, and take mum out for a light lunch and maybe stop by at a friends house, or park on the way home. Plus later give her interstate brother a ring and update him on how mum is going.
If you feel your loved one is frustrated at being house bound with very limited access to visitors, or you are concerned about them being alone for extended periods of time, a Partenaire is an economical solution to a more fulfilling life and peace of mind.
