To ensure delivery is to the highest standard and in the most effective way. I have a strong desire to support and look after those in need. I feel that caring for people is rewarding and I enjoy making a difference to peoples lives.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to the gym, holidays and country walks. I have had a lot of experience in care over many years - mainly Dementia Care, from being a carer I completed my TAQA training to become a Health and Social Care Assessor at Level 2 and Level 3. I previously worked at Ensis Solutions and my responsibilities were to support carers through their learner journey, completing on the job observations, support with functional skills and discussions.

Other care we provide
Home care in Accrington to suit you
Since 1989, we have led the way in terms of compassionate and empathetic home care, ensuring that customers always remain in control and at the centre of their care package. Thirty years later, nothing has changed, and our Accrington team do their utmost to uphold this incredibly high standard. Overseen by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), our training programme is designed to ensure that only the highest quality care is provided to those with additional needs.
With our carers so local to you, we’re able to arrange care extremely quickly from your first contact with us, meaning that you can rest assured that help will be on its way. And unlike a care agency, our carers are employed directly by us, meaning there’s no need to worry about extra paperwork or background checks – we already have this covered. Equipped in supporting individuals with a variety of conditions from dementia to neurological injuries, cerebral palsy and stoma care – our home care team are here to support you in whichever way you need.
The great thing about homecare is that you get to choose when and how you receive care, regardless of the complexities of your condition. So the only person in control of your care is the person who matters most – you.
Retain Independence With Private Care
Private care gives you the freedom and choice over when and how much care you receive at home, so that it fits in with your life and existing routines. The aim of private care from our Accrington team is to provide support here and there that enables you, rather than taking over and doing everything for you. From assisting you to get to and from the shops to making you some lunch and putting your washing away, we’ll pop in at a time convenient to you to support you with everyday tasks, giving you and loved ones peace of mind that you have the right care in place for you.
Live In Care Services
If you require more intensive support or you live with a partner or spouse and you both need extra help, live-in care could be the exact type of service that you’re looking for. Not only does it allow you to still live in your beloved home, but it caters for more complex clinical needs, for example, after a stroke, with PEG feeding or if you have a stoma or catheter fitted. With the guidance of our regional nurse team, our Accrington carers are able to provide specialist support so that you don’t have to move into a care home to receive nursing care. how much does it cost?
Our live-in care team will get to know you, your health care needs, preferences and how you want you care delivered, so that they can create a support plan entirely around you, including selecting a live-in carer that matches you both in care experience and personality. Your dedicated live-in carer will be there for 24-hour support, so you never have to worry that you’re alone or without the vital care you may need. They will be a constant source of reassurance, as well as someone you can get to know and build a rapport with, who may become more like a friend to you.
Why Helping Hands are better than a care agency in Accrington?
