I am currently researching the demand for Professional Social Support and Non-Medical Senior Companionship within the UAE.
I’m looking into the viability of services that bridge the gap between medical care and social isolation, specifically:
• Social Support: Providing a professional, objective outlet for individuals to talk through stressors or "rant" in a safe environment.
• Senior Care: Focusing on social stimulation (conversation, mental engagement, and activities) rather than clinical nursing.
……..
I am looking for community insights on:
1. Do you think there is a genuine need for these "companion-style" services in Abu Dhabi?
2. Would families or professionals value a dedicated social support system that isn't purely medical?
…….
Note: I am seeking professional perspectives or industry-related advice only. Please share your thoughts in the comments. To maintain professional boundaries, inappropriate or non-professional DMs will be immediately blocked and reported.
