Basildon

Here at Helping Hands, we have been at the forefront of compassionate and empathetic care for 30 years, ensuring that our customers are able to remain safe and secure in the comfort of their own home.

Whether you’re looking for 30 minutes a week to accompany you for a walk around the Wat Tyler Country Park, or more regular daily calls that require more complex or overnight support, our Basildon team are here to provide the support you need, when you need it.

With each of our carers completing a comprehensive training programme, our Basildon team have the knowledge and experience to assist you with anything ranging from housekeeping, meal preparation and personal care to more detailed care for neurological conditions, acquired injuries and mental health support.

We understand that, regardless of the condition, each individual customer has their own individual requirements. Our Basildon team will work with you and your family to ensure that you have full control over your care, with minimal interruption to your everyday life.

We understand that accepting the need for more support for you or your loved one can be an unsettling time, but with live-in care from the team, we can help to alleviate any worries that you may have.

Whether you live on your own, as a couple or with your beloved pet, live-in care provides you with round-the-clock support to ensure that you can remain confident and independent in the comfort of your own home. Regardless of your requirements, our Basildon team will work around you to ensure that you receive personable and unintrusive care that is completely tailored to you.

Here at Helping Hands, independence and stability are at the forefront of our care and we work with you to find the right carer that is suited to your personality, hobbies and interests. So, if you like to take day trips into the capital or enjoy watching the wakeboarding at the Aqua Park, we’ll find the right person for you so that you don’t just receive a carer; you’ll gain a friend.

Live-in care enables you to remain comfortable in your own surroundings while still living each day on your terms. With no visiting restrictions and no set meal times, our live-in team will provide personalised and unintrusive care so that you can continue with the life that you love.

With 30 years under our belt, we’re proud to be one of the UK’s leading dementia care specialists, and we ensure that every single carer is trained on dealing with the different types of dementia and how they present in each individual. From memory loss and confusion to helping an individual’s family understand their loved ones’ diagnosis, our Basildon team will be here to provide comfort and support.

With extensive knowledge in dementia care, we understand the importance of familiarity. Our fully-trained team will support you and your loved ones while enabling you to remain comfortable and secure in your own home, while also providing guidance to your family on how you can communicate with each other and enjoy your time together.

As we get older, we understand that day-to-day tasks may seem more difficult than they used to be and our minds aren’t always as quick as they once were, but this doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your independence to accommodate that.

You may just need a little help in sorting the laundry out, or perhaps you aren’t as confident to go for your morning walk by yourself as you used to be. For some, you may be living with a progressive condition that requires more intensive support to help you get up and ready for the day.

Nonetheless, the team team will work with you to provide a tailored care package that enables you to remain free and independent, while your family have the comfort of knowing that you’re in safe hands.

Care needs can arise at any time, sometimes with such little notice that finding an alternative option seems impossible. But with the Basildon team, we can provide respite care packages to give you the support you need with as little as 24 hours’ notice.

Whether you’ve sustained an unexpected illness or injury, you’re due to be discharged from hospital and would like some extra support in getting back on your feet or your usual caregiver is tending to an emergency; we can swiftly put a package of care in place with minimal disruption to your usual routine.

We’re proud to be one of the leading care providers in the UK, and with 30 years’ experience we understand exactly what is needed to provide the perfect level of care. The qualities it takes to become a private carer are not always traits that can be taught, which is why we only select the very best individuals to become part of our family.

Each of our carers are fully trained in areas including manual handling, health & safety, safeguarding and medication support, and each harbour the faultless qualities of compassion, empathy and understanding.

As well as receiving full background checks, such as Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screening, our carers also receive regular training courses to ensure their skills and practice are always of the highest standard.

Helping Hands are the only care provider to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, as well as being fully licensed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
