• Personal care support – staff are available 24 hours a day to offer you support
• Communal areas – these might include a cafe, hairdressers, library, guest accommodation for your visitors, a day centre with organised activities and outings
• Neighbourhood facilities – extra care schemes are based within local communities so the usual range of neighbourhood facilities are close by such as leisure centres, shops, GP surgeries and public transport.

Some extra care sites have dementia units which provide specialist care in a community setting.

BASSETLAW TELEPHONE BEFRIENDING

Face to Face Befriending
Our befriending scheme can receive referrals from anyone who is suffering from extreme loneliness.  Befriending is a means to reduce isolation and increase independence.

Our clients are placed with a befriender who will visit them for one hour a week in their own home or telephone them to chat and encouraging them to make positive choices to help them to help themselves.

When the clients are referred to us, we match them with a volunteer, who may have similar interests and hobbies and lives in the same area.  This service is free of charge, but there may be travel costs incurred for the volunteer mileage if they are visiting in the home.

Telephone Befriending
Our telephone befriending is a free service which offers weekly calls made to our clients by volunteers.

As with home visits, we ensure to match our clients with a volunteer who may have similar interests or hobbies, and the volunteer will encourage clients over the duration of the call to make positive choices.

For those clients who are unable to have home visits or use the telephone we may be able to offer befriending letters.

Peer to Peer Befriending
Peer to peer befriending is a great way for clients to support each other through weekly telephone calls. Befriending not only benefits the person who receives the call but also the person who provides the call. People often volunteer for Befriending as a way to reduce their own isolation and loneliness whilst helping another person.

As such we now offer Peer to Peer Befriending Support. This is where 2 clients waiting for a volunteer will contact each other via telephone and Befriend each other. This enables both clients to give and receive support, build friendships and help each other overcome their feelings of loneliness and isolation.
