When Might You Benefit from Domiciliary Care?
Helping Hands have been delivering exceptional home care since we were established in 1989. Specialising in domiciliary care – also known as care at home – we are the UK’s most trusted private home care provider.
There are many circumstances that bring people to choose care in their own home, including:
Your health is deteriorating
If your health is getting worse and you are struggling to maintain your lifestyle at home, we can help by undertaking practical and emotional tasks
You want to stay at home
Your options are varied and you shouldn’t just accept moving out of the home you love, feeling you have no choice. You remain in control at all times
You’re feeling isolated
The passing of a loved one or family far away can help you to feel less isolated and provide essential companionship. They’ll also boost your mood
Signals That You Could Benefit from Domiciliary Care
Some people become aware gradually that they need additional support, whereas for others it is instant, perhaps after an accident or hospital stay. We can support every aspect of your daily routine, including:
Challenges with Personal Care
We support many of our customers with their personal care, which includes showering, dressing, bathing, and managing continence.
Social Isolation
Being alone at home, perhaps after a loved one’s passing, can be isolating. Having a carer coming to visit can alleviate loneliness.
Wellbeing Concerns at Home
If you’re struggling at home and your wellbeing is suffering, having a carer coming in can make all the difference to your welfare.
Identifying Domiciliary Care Needs
If you’re no longer able to manage your daily routine you may feel your only option is residential care, but that’s not the case. Our professional carers help people to live as independently as possible in the homes they love. When you contact us, we’ll help you identify what level of care you need via a comprehensive assessment, which will answer:
How often you require care
We can support you from an hour or two a week
The type of support you require
In-depth care or simple companionship
Your condition
Whether age-related frailties or approaching end of life
How remaining at home for your care benefits you
You can remain in the comfort of your own home
You have full control over your meal times and preferences
One-to-one, 24-hour care from your own dedicated carer
You can continue with your preferred lifestyle and routines
Your friends and family can visit as much as they like
