    Home care visits in Ashford that suits you

    For 30 years, we’ve provided a seamless support service to each of our customers, enabling them to remain in the comfort of their own home while still receiving a personalised care plan to suit their individual needs. You might just need a half an hour drop-in once a week, or more advanced care that involves several overnight stays. Either way, our Ashford home care team are here to help.

    Throughout their training our carers gain a wealth of knowledge and expertise, providing you with an abundance of support. From housekeeping, meal preparation and companionship to more complex care for degenerative conditions, brain injuries and mental health support, our carers are fully-trained to help you and your family through this difficult period.

    We understand that every customer has their unique requirements, that’s why we’re proud to provide bespoke care plans that are built by and around you.

    Supporting you with live-in care Ashford

    As the term suggests, live-in care allows you to live in the comfort of your home while receiving high-quality care as and when you need it.

    Dedicated and fully-trained, our compassionate carers can deal with various conditions and complex injuries including multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, dementia, Parkinson’s and many more. We’ll handpick your carer, based not only on your needs, but your personality, interests and hobbies too. That way you’ll gain more than just a carer, you’ll make a new friend.

    Live-in care is often a more suitable option than residential care or a hospice, as it enables you or your loved one to remain in the place they feel most comfortable and familiar. With a team of clinical nurses and live-in managers, we’re able to offer all aspects of care such as PEG feeding, catheter management and tracheostomies.

    FAQs

    Home care in Ashford 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 Ashford 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 Ashford.

    Home care in Ashford 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.
