A fully managed respite care service
Respite care at home is the perfect solution for when you are suddenly left without care.
Perhaps your regular carer has been taken ill and had to go home unexpectedly, or it may be that you are being discharged from hospital sooner than expected; circumstances that can throw even the most organised family members into a state of anxiety.
Calling Helping Hands for respite care can be the perfect solution though, as we can arrange for a carer to be in your home within 24 hours of you first contacting us. We have been caring for people within their own homes since 1989 and therefore it’s no surprise that we are considered the homecare experts.
Respite care costs per day
We pride ourselves on our prices being clear and up-front, without any hidden costs. That way, there are no surprises when your bill arrives.

Paying for respite care
When it comes to costs, we keep things as simple and straightforward as we can.
Although the majority of our families are paying for their care privately, there may be the opportunity for you to access home care funding. Home care funding can be accessed from either your Local Authority or Clinical Commissioning Group.
In these cases, we work with the funding body to get the support you need in place and give you a better quality of life at home.
Our customers love that we are:
Upfront and transparent
All of your home care costs are included in your initial care agreement – there are no hidden fees or lengthy notice periods
Not a care agency
We’re a private care provider rather than an agency, which means you don’t have to worry about agency fees or retainers
Able to accept direct payments
If you’re receiving funding through social services and have opted for direct payments, we can accept top-ups to these payments
A fully regulated home care provider
Here at Helping Hands, our service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW)
This means we need to consistently meet high standards and are monitored by our regulators.
Why is being a regulated care provider important?

Fully vetted, high-quality carers
