Why should I opt for care early?
It can work out cheaper
Starting care early on in your condition can help slow down the rate at which symptoms progress, reducing the amount you may need to spend on care in the future
Enjoy a better quality of life
Whether you want to go abroad, host dinner parties or simply spend more time in the garden, a carer can allow you to live a much fuller and richer life
Stay healthier for longer
Our carers can detect physical and mental health problems early, as well as offering proactive support and guidance to keep you healthier for longer
Invaluable peace of mind
Long-term care gives you and your family peace of mind that you’re being fully supported, and your condition is constantly being monitored
Share the responsibility of care
69% of over-75s wouldn’t want their children to care for them. A carer offers invaluable respite, advice and emotional support for the whole family.
An independent, fruitful life
Starting long-term care today will mark the start of a renewed sense of independence, as you’ll be able to spend more time doing the things you enjoy
How a carer can make all the difference at home
Your wellbeing is our number one priority. That’s why we provide every single Helping Hands carer with industry-leading training which equips them to deliver compassionate, specialist care to people with varying needs. Whatever your requirements, we’ll always tailor your care to your personal circumstances.
Your Helping Hands carer will be able to help in countless ways, including:
Condition-led care
Our carers can help people living with a complex condition to be independent and manage their symptoms for a better quality of life
Personal care
A carer can provide discreet and dignified personal care with routines such as bathing, toileting and getting dressed
Housekeeping
Your carer can help around your home with housekeeping tasks such as cleaning and vacuuming, doing the laundry, and doing the bins
Medication assistance
Our fully trained carers can provide medical support including catheter care, PEG feeding and suppositories, to name just a few
Mobility support
Every Helping Hands carer is trained in mobility support, so they can help with things like getting in and out of bed and moving around the home
Getting out and about
Whether you want to visit family, pop to the shops or go away on holiday, a carer can help you plan your travel and accompany you along the way

Not sure if care is right for you at the moment?
Choosing care doesn’t have to mean a total change in lifestyle. In fact, our care focuses on enabling people to continue living life on their own terms, whatever that may look like. One of the ways we can help your loved one to adjust to care is to introduce a carer into their lives very gradually. Our visiting care plans start from just 30 minutes per week, providing a perfect opportunity for your loved one to get to know their carer and come to appreciate the potential benefits of having that additional source of support.
