High quality home care in Abingdon

Our home care gives you or your loved one the chance to receive dedicated one-to-one support without having to move to a residential nursing home. Staying at home for support means you’ll get to retain full control over your care plan whilst receiving exceptional, expert care that meets the specific needs of your condition and circumstances. Our wonderful Abingdon care team are on hand to provide home care on terms that suit you. We’re able to offer care on both a visiting and live-in basis, so there will always be a support plan to suit you. Our visiting care plans start from just 30 minutes per week, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, live-in care provides you or your loved one with round-the-clock support that ensures you get support whenever you require it.

24/7 live in care support

One of the areas of care in which we’ve long specialised is live-in care, which is where one of our brilliant carers will come to live with you in your home and provide 24/7 support. Live-in care offers full peace of mind to the care receiver and their loved ones, owing to the round-the-clock, one-to-one nature of the care being offered. Your carer will be with you in your home overnight in case you experience any slips, trips or falls, and can help you make the most of every day – however straightforward or complex your needs may be. Whether you need complex support for a progressive condition, discreet personal care, help with the housekeeping, a friendly companion to help you get out and about, or anything else, our Abingdon live-in carers will always be able and happy to assist.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Abingdon

Because we’re a private care provider rather than an introductory care agency, we’re able to offer a much more holistic and flexible care service – all regulated by the Care Quality Commission. The main difference between Helping Hands and many care agencies is that your care will be contracted by us, rather than you – meaning we take care of all the stressful and time-consuming bits like paying your carers, finding cover when a carer is unwell, and liaising with carers before visits. You also won’t ever be subjected to any unexpected costs or hidden fees – whatever’s outlined in your initial care agreement will be what you end up paying.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Abingdon

At Helping Hands Abingdon, we’re extremely proud of our wonderful team of carers. They truly are the heart and soul of our organisation, and are constantly going above and beyond to ensure our customers receive the exceptional home care that they’ve come to expect from us. Every single one of our carers has been selectively recruited for their compassionate, friendly personalities and their dedicated approach to their roles, and has undergone numerous background checks before joining us so that we can be sure they’ll be a perfect fit for us and for you. Then, when they start with our Abingdon team, all new carers receive our in-house carer training, which equips them to provide a wide range of specialist care services to people with varying needs.

FAQs

Home care in Abingdon 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 Abingdon 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 Abingdon.

Home care in Abingdon 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.
