Home-based support for people with hearing loss
At Helping Hands, we’ve provided home-based support for deaf people for over 30 years.
With such extensive experience and expertise in supporting deaf people with homecare, it’s safe to say we know how to offer support that helps handle the challenges associated with hearing loss.
People impacted by severe hearing loss have to adapt to a new lifestyle, and deaf elderly people may need extra help to manage from day to day. We provide dedicated support for deaf people in the environment they know and love best – their own home.
The benefits of deaf support at home
At Helping Hands, we’re committed to providing exceptional care to our customers in their own homes, because it allows you to life live on your own terms and receive personalised support. Some of the many benefits of deaf care at home include:
Enjoy a familiar environment
Staying in your home for care means you’ll remain in an environment where you’re familiar with your surroundings and are comfortable moving around
A holistic approach
Our holistic approach means no stone is left unturned in your deaf care plan, so you’ll get the emotional, practical and physical support you need
Spend more time with loved ones
You’ll be able to choose when your family and friends visit, and your carer can assist with hosting duties – including getting your home spick and span
Remain around your possessions
Many people relish the chance to remain in the comfortable, secure surroundings of home whilst receiving the additional support they need
Retain your independence
Staying at home means you can continue to access your community and keep up your regular routines, activities and hobbies
Person-centred support
Care at home allows you to enjoy a personalised care plan that ensures you’re always getting the right support for your needs and wishes
The Helping Hands approach to deaf support
We take a person-centred approach to our deaf support, tailoring it to your needs.
We work with professionals from the healthcare industry to deliver a deaf care plan that meets the exact requirements of you or your loved one. In our 36 years as a quality homecare provider, we’ve looked after deaf people affected by other conditions – such as dementia – as well as providing care for the elderly.
When providing support for deaf people, we know that one single form of communication isn’t going to be the best option for all customers. Our deaf carers can support your independence in a number of ways, including:
How your carer can support you at home
Your Helping Hands carer will encourage and enable you to be as independent as possible.
Our carers can provide help for the deaf around their homes, but at the same time they won’t take over – they always encourage their customers to get involved if they want to. They can provide help in a number of different ways – from collecting the groceries from the supermarket to doing the washing up.
Your carer can support with:
Personal care
Visiting care can provide you with dignified and discreet support for personal routines such as bathing, toileting and getting dressed
Meal preparation
Your carer can prepare tasty and nutritious meals, snacks and drinks at the times that suit you, as well as doing the washing up afterwards
Help with the housework
If you’re struggling to stay on top of the housework, this is something your visiting carer can help with – from doing the laundry to vacuuming the stairs
Medication assistance
All of our carers are trained to provide dedicated medication support, including helping you to organise and administer it
Running errands
A visiting carer can run errands on your behalf, such as doing the weekly shop, sorting your mail or collecting your prescription
Mobility support
From helping you get out of bed to accompanying you on day trips, our carers are all fully trained to support you in making the most of life
