Senior Care & Companion Services in Harare
Many older Zimbabweans prefer to stay in their own homes rather than move to a facility. Tesha connects families with vetted companion carers, personal-care assistants and senior-errand runners across Harare and Zimbabwe. The chat asks a few key questions — what the parent or relative needs help with, when, and any health considerations — and surfaces carers whose experience matches. We support both short-term needs (a week of company while a primary caregiver is away) and longer arrangements (daily or live-in support).
Companion care for seniors at home
Companion carers spend time with your older relative — chatting, reading, playing cards, taking short walks in the garden, sharing a meal. The aim is meaningful company and gentle stimulation, especially valuable for seniors who live alone or whose family is overseas. Sessions can run a few hours or full days.
Typical tasks
- Daily visits for conversation and company
- Reading, board games and music
- Garden walks and light exercise
- Meal companionship
- Transport to social events or church
Personal care and medication assistance
When daily activities become harder, a personal-care assistant helps with bathing, dressing, mobility and medication routines. Tesha matches families with carers who have relevant experience and a calm, dignified manner. We don't replace registered nurses or qualified medical staff — for clinical care, please involve a doctor.
Typical tasks
- Help with bathing, dressing and grooming
- Mobility and transfer assistance
- Daily medication reminders
- Light housekeeping (bed, laundry)
- Meal prep with dietary needs in mind
Senior errands and transportation
Many seniors don't drive any more, but still want to live independently. Tesha runners pick up prescriptions, take seniors to medical appointments, queue for them at the bank, do the weekly shop, and drop in for a check-in. Family abroad can pre-arrange these visits and receive updates after each one.
Typical tasks
- Prescription pickup
- Doctor and clinic transport
- Weekly grocery shopping
- Bill payments and bank queues
- Family-arranged check-in visits with photo updates
