Live-in care and Home care in Ashton-under-Lyne

The cotton industry revolutionised Ashton’s fortunes in 1769. Thanks to the burgeoning transport network there was an economic boom in cotton spinning, weaving, and coal mining, and while these have declined since the mid-20th century, Ashton is still considered a centre for commerce.

We understand the importance of continually updating and improving, as over the past 30 years we haven’t sat back on our laurels, we’ve continually strived so that our visiting and live-in care services became examples of excellence in care.

    Better than a care agency in Ashton-under-Lyne

    When you have care from an agency, you’ll probably find they bill you for things you weren’t expecting, such as introducing you to a suitable carer or other ‘hidden extras.’ At Helping Hands, we consider that all part of the inclusive service and we keep our pricing structure and billing procedures transparent and easy to understand, so you won’t be given any nasty surprises when your bill arrives.

    Specialist dementia care at home

    Living with dementia isn’t easy, which is why it’s so important to have a dementia specialist company providing your care, if the time comes that you require it. It’s a good idea to have conversations with your loved ones about care sooner rather than later, so that further along your dementia journey your wishes will be able to be carried out. Remaining in your beloved home for dementia care can benefit you physically as well as emotionally too.

    FAQs

    Home care in Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Ashton-under-Lyne.
