    Home care in Calne

    For over 30 years, we have been providing home care to thousands of people up and down the country to ensure that they can remain living as independently as possible in their own home. And that is no different at our new branch in Calne.

    Designed to adapt to you and your needs, our tailored support plans are created with you so that you can let us know exactly what you need support with and how you like things, but also the things that you want to do by yourself – whether you need help with getting dressed but like to have a go at doing as much as you can or if you love cooking but are unsteady on your feet and need support getting all of the ingredients and utensils.

    Visiting care can start from as little as 30 minutes a week and go all the way up to several hourly visits throughout the day, with the option of having overnight care if you become anxious during the early hours. Whether you’re living with Parkinson’s and need support taking medication and keeping your home clean and tidy or if you’re living with multiple sclerosis and need assistance with your mobility in and outside of your home, we’ll be there to help.

    Live in care for peace of mind

    For added peace of mind that there is always someone there to support you, live-in care in Calne can provide the ultimate reassurance that your care needs will be tended to whenever you require.

    Live-in care is a direct alternative to residential care or a nursing home, as it allows you to receive 24-hour support but all from the comfort of your own home. There’s no need to leave a partner or spouse behind and there are no set timetables for meals, getting up in the morning or prescribed activities.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Calne

    One thing that truly sets our carers apart is their innate ability to empathise and genuinely care for those that they are looking after. These qualities aren’t things that can be taught, but to ensure our carers are equipped with the skills that they need in Calne, they receive award winning training for manual handling, first aid, safeguarding, equality and diversity, medication and personal care. In addition to their initial training, they are also required to complete refresher training so that they always provide the latest and safest care to their customers.

    All personal care services are provided by our Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered office Helping Hands Hungerford. The CQC ensure that we provide a safe, responsive and effective service and also do what we say we’re going to do. That way, you can rest assured that you or your loved one is receiving care from a regulated provider who has your best interests at heart.

    Extra support with dementia care

    A diagnosis of dementia can often be quite a distressing time for the individual and their family. But with the expertise and knowledge of our dementia care carers, you can all rest assured that your loved one is in the very best and capable hands.

    We ensure that all of our carers receive up-to-date dementia training so that they can provide personalised and empathetic care for your loved one and support for you and the rest of the family. Whether it’s help with the confusion and memory loss, helping to make the home more dementia-friendly or just popping in regularly to check that they’re okay, we’ll ensure that they have everything they need to stay safe and well at home with dementia.

    FAQs

    Home care in Calne 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 Calne 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 Calne.

    Home care in Calne 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.
