Visiting care and home care in Barnet

A suburban London borough situated in the North of London, Barnet is the proud host of Rugby Union Premiership side, Saracens F.C. And the borough’s fame doesn’t stop there. Once home  to a cult of legendary singers, including the late greats Amy Winehouse and George Michael, the local community isn’t short of talent. As the only care provider to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, as well as being fully licensed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), you can rest assured you’re in trustworthy hands.

Here at Helping Hands, we prioritise personalised home care plans, ensuring the level of care you receive is bespoke to your needs, whilst preserving your independence. From celebrity-spotting outside Princess Park Manor, or going for a macchiato at Costa Coffee, Sophie and her team are available to provide the care you need both while you’re at home and when you’re out enjoying yourself. With either weekly visits or live-in care, your carer will build a relationship with you to understand how best to help you stay occupied, as well as safe.

    Better than private care Barnet

    At Helping Hands, our sole purpose is to ensure you receive the best care possible in the comfort of your own home, and as a private home care provider we’re much better placed to do that than a home care agency.

    We’ll always go the extra mile to provide our customers with only the very highest standards of care and the most compassionate, suitable carers. Unlike agencies, we employ our carers directly, which means we’ll always take full responsibility for paying them and giving them proper training. Being a private care provider also means you won’t get any hidden fees or complex pricing structures from us – we’ll make things as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

    Fully-trained home carers in Barnet

    Covering a wide range of modules from manual handling and safeguarding to dementia care and medication support, we’re proud to provide an award-winning training programme to all of our carers, ensuring they’re up-to-date with knowledge and the latest practices.

    As the only care provider to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, as well as being fully licensed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), you can rest assured you’re in trustworthy hands.

    In addition to this, each of our carers go through a stringent recruitment process with full background checks such as Disclosure Barring Service (DBS), so you don’t need to worry about or take on any additional paperwork.

    FAQs

    Home care in Barnet is professional support provided in your own home, helping you or a loved one stay safe, comfortable and independent without needing to move into residential care. It can be arranged as regular visiting care, occasional support, respite care, or full-time live-in care, depending on your needs.

    With Helping Hands, care is built around your routine, so support can include anything from help getting up in the morning to companionship, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and personal care.

    Home care can include a wide range of practical, personal and emotional support. This may include help with washing, dressing, toileting, medication prompts, preparing meals, light housework, shopping, attending appointments, mobility support and companionship.

    Care can be flexible, from short visits during the week to several visits a day or live-in care. The right level of support will depend on your needs, routines and preferences.

    A carer can help with everyday tasks that have become difficult to manage alone. This might include getting in and out of bed, washing and dressing, preparing meals, moving safely around the home, taking medication, keeping the house tidy, going shopping, attending appointments or simply having someone there for companionship.

    The aim is to provide the right amount of support while helping you maintain independence, dignity and confidence at home.

    The cost of home care in Barnet depends on the type and amount of support you need. Helping Hands’ visiting care prices currently start from £32.40 per hour, with visits available from 30 minutes, and live-in care currently starts from £1,675 per week for one person. A call-out or travel charge may also apply.

    Because everyone’s needs are different, the best way to get an accurate price is to arrange a care assessment. This helps create a tailored care plan and a clear breakdown of costs before care begins.

    Home care can be cheaper than a care home, especially if you only need support for part of the day or a few times a week. Age UK says privately arranged home care can cost around £25 per hour, while residential care averages around £949 per week and nursing home care around £1,267 per week, although costs vary by area and needs.

    For people who need round-the-clock support, live-in care may be closer in cost to residential care, but it allows you to remain in your own home, keep familiar routines and receive one-to-one support.

    Yes. Helping Hands states that its service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, or CQC, in England and the Care Inspectorate Wales, or CIW, in Wales. These regulators monitor care providers to make sure they meet required standards for safety, quality and care delivery.

    Individual branch ratings can vary, so it is always worth checking the relevant local branch profile when arranging care in Barnet.

    Home care in Barnet can often be arranged quickly, depending on your needs, location and carer availability. In many cases, care can begin within a few days, and urgent support may be possible sooner following an assessment.

    The first step is usually a conversation about your situation, followed by a care assessment and a personalised care plan. This helps make sure the right support is in place from the start.
