Visiting care and home care across Bath

Known throughout the UK for its Roman baths which are responsible for its name, Bath is one of the most beautiful cities in the South West of the country. Attracting visitors far and wide is its impressive Thermae Bath Spa - which is the only natural thermal hot spring in the UK - Bath has a fine collection of galleries, eateries and architecture – the most famous of which is the Royal Crescent. But more importantly, Bath is home to a team of dedicated and empathetic carers from Helping Hands.

All of our home care services are independently regulated and monitored by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, so you can have complete confidence that your care from our Somerset team will always be of the very highest standard.

Get in touch with a member of our team today to discuss your requirements and create a flexible care package tailored to you; from hourly visiting care to full-time live-in care.

    Bespoke home care in Bath

    As industry-leading home care providers at the forefront of our field, we understand what it takes to provide unintrusive, compassionate and professional care to anyone in need of extra support. Whether you need a hand doing your weekly shop and preparing meals or you require support throughout the day to safely mobilise around your home with standing and walking aids, we’ll ensure that the care we put in place is centred entirely around you.

    From as little as 30-minute visits once a week all the way up to regular calls throughout the day, we’ll provide visiting care as and when you need that seamlessly fits into your life. Regardless of the condition you may be living with or any ongoing symptoms you have, we’ll get to know you and your routines. So, if you’re a keen historian that loves visiting Bath’s many museums but struggle to get there by yourself, a member of the team will accompany you and you can make a day of it together.

    And if your care routine needs to be altered in any way because your condition has progressed, then we can swiftly put more care visits in place to make sure that you have everything you need to feel happy and comfortable in your own surroundings.

    If you are living with a more complex condition or you’re part of a couple and the two of you need extra help throughout the day, live-in care in Bath could be the ideal option for you. Designed to fit around your existing routines at home, a live-in carer will come and live with you in your home and be on hand whenever you need them.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Bath

    Choosing a private care provider in Bath for your home care - rather than a care agency or a residential care home – means you’ll have much more control over your care plan. This includes being able to make decisions about the type of care you receive and how often you’ll receive it, as well as smaller details such as meal preferences and bedtimes. You’ll also be able to spend more time seeing friends and family as you won’t be constricted by visiting hours.

    Domiciliary care for extra support

    With domiciliary care, you are in complete control over what type of care you receive and how often you receive it. This care option is designed to enable you to live independently with a little assistance, rather than a carer taking over and doing everything for you.

    Care isn’t just about the practicalities; it’s about ensuring you are cared for in mind, body and spirit so that all of your needs are being met. This could be enabling you to enjoy your garden again by getting up-to-date on the dead heading and making sure the rest of your flowers are watered, so that you can soak up the fresh air, take in the sounds of the twittering birds and inhale the aromatic smells of your sweet peas or roses.

    FAQs

    Home care in Bath 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 Bath depends on the type and amount of support you need. Helping Hands’ visiting care prices start from £32.40 per hour, with visits available from 30 minutes, and live-in care starts from £1,675 per week for one person, based on the supplied pricing. 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 figures supplied for comparison suggest 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 Bath.

    Home care in Bath 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.
