24 Hour Live in Care Dorset
Helping Hands is widely regarded as being one of the most professional live in care providers in Dorset. Founded in 1989, Helping Hands is a family run business with well over 20 years experience in the live in care sector
Residential care homes in Dorset
A major redevelopment of a former Ministry of Defence site in Dorset shows that when developers and local authorities work together in creative way, real progress can be made in the elderly residential care sector.
The striking development is testament to the pioneering approach that Dorset care authorities and local developers are taking to 24 hour elderly care in Dorset. And if planning approval is granted, it will provide a flagship care development to which others care home developers in Dorset will aspire.
Whilst more innovative developments like this are required in Dorset, it is unlikely that residential facilities will be able to fully meet the requirements of Dorset’s 24 hour care requirements. This is why agencies which specialise in one to one 24 hour live in care solutions have seen such an increase in demand for their services in Dorset in recent years.
Advantages of live in care
Live in care offers many advantages over residential care: it allows the customer to remain in their own home, surrounded by their own belongings, keeping familiar routines and staying close to family, friends and even pets. This familiarity is very important to a lot of elderly people, and it is something which is actively encouraged by 24 hour live care providers. Additionally, 24 hour live in care means that the customer receives one-to-one care specific to their needs.
Helping Hands, unlike many 24 hour live in care agencies, has been operating in Dorset for nearly 29 years. We have a local base which covers Dorset and this ensures that our customers’ needs are met quickly and efficiently. It also means that we can fully support our carers whilst they live in the customer’s home.
Helping Hands is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. All of our carers receive full Criminal Records Checks before employed directly by Helping Hands – we do not use agency staff. We are full members of the UK Home Care Association and are a fully accredited care provider with Dorset Disability Trust.
