Visiting care and home care in Aldershot

Aldershot has a rich military history and is known as “The home of the British Army”, because of the establishing of the first permanent training camp there in 1854, during the Crimean War. Due to this, Aldershot’s population went from 875 in 1851, to over 16,000 by 1861, around 9000 of which were in the military.

Helping Hands is no stranger to rapid and extensive growth, going from our original branch in 1989 to well over a hundred across England and Wales today. Our visiting and live-in care services are second to none when it comes to supporting you in your own home, and our expert carers go above and beyond to see that our customers live their best lives possible.

    Expert Home care Aldershot services

    Helping Hands have been delivering care at home for our customers since 1989, so you know when we say we’re experts we really are. Our visiting care service starts from just 30 minutes a week if you require some companionship, or help to an appointment, and goes up to as much frequency as you require, throughout the day and night. We can support you with every aspect of your care at home including medication, meal preparation, personal care, mobility, housework and so much more.

    Professional live-in care services

    We’ve had 30 years of experience supporting our customers to feel safe and comfortable in their own homes, so why trust anyone else with you or your loved one’s care? Having live-in care means your dedicated carer lives with you around the clock, providing care and support as well as companionship when you want it. Whether you have complex or less complicated needs, our live-in carers will become the friend you never knew you needed at home.

    Better than a care agency in Aldershot

    We directly employ all of our carers at Helping Hands. This may not seem important to the customer at first, but when you consider that agency carers are often forced to be self-employed and then need to work out everything that goes with it, it’s no wonder we have higher satisfaction rates than home care agencies do. We’re a private company who prides itself on our high levels of care and carer motivation, so talk to a company who looks after its carers so that they can look after you.

    Respite care for short-term support

    When you need care in an emergency, Helping Hands can have a carer in your home within 24 hours, so you know we’re the home care company to trust with your or your loved ones’ respite care. Even in regular circumstances, such as when your carer is taking a a planned break or you’re recovering from an illness at home we’ll look after you, and thank to your personalised support plan, your routines and preferences will be followed at all times.

    FAQs

    Home care in Aldershot 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 Aldershot 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 Aldershot.

    Home care in Aldershot 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.
