Our Bedford team has many years of experience supporting people in Bedford and the surrounding areas. We provide two types of home care: visiting care and live-in care. Visiting care is ideal if a loved one requires assistance with their daily routine. Our visiting care packages are fully customisable and you have the freedom to choose how many hours of care your loved one requires each week. Alternatively, live-in care is usually the preferred option for people with more complex care needs, i.e., those living with a health condition like dementia. We offer a large range of home care services to suit your care requirements. Here are some of the home care services provided by our Bedford team:
Respite care in Bedford
As a family-owned company, we understand that carers often feel anxious about leaving a loved one in the care of someone else. Nevertheless, every caregiver needs to take time to relax and recharge and you shouldn’t feel guilty about needing a break. Our professional respite services are designed to relieve you of your caregiving duties temporarily. One of our fully trained carers can take over and provide care for anywhere from several days to a few weeks. This will give you the opportunity to invest in some self-care and recharge your batteries. The best part is that you get to enjoy a well-deserved break while knowing that your loved one is receiving the support they need in your absence.
Bedford Elderly care
Nowadays, more and more older people want to remain living at home rather than considering residential nursing care. Home care has become a popular alternative to residential care homes, as it allows elderly people to remain living in their homes and communities. You can arrange for a carer to visit your elderly loved one at home and assist with activities such as household chores, personal care or running errands. Elderly care can enable an older person to remain living safely at home for much longer than previously possible. Our elderly care packages are fully customisable and can be personalised to meet the exact requirements of your loved one. You can choose visiting care from as little as 30 minutes to live-in care, where your loved one will receive continuous care in a familiar environment.
Dementia care across Bedford
Dementia is a common health condition that can have a significant impact on the person affected as well as their loved ones. While there is currently no cure for the condition, much can be done to ensure that a person with dementia maintains a good quality of life. Caring for someone with dementia can be a challenge, as the symptoms tend to evolve rapidly. This is why many families seek the support of a specialist dementia carer. We know that a change of routine can be extremely stressful for someone with dementia. This is why we encourage home care support rather than residential care. Our dementia care team is part of the Dementia Action Alliance and receives fully-regulated training on how to support those living with the condition.
Helping Hands has been providing professional care services to people across the country for over 30 years. All of our carers are fully-regulated by the CQC and receive extensive training and regular refresher training. Helping Hands carers are genuinely compassionate and dedicated to helping people live happy and fulfilled lives, regardless of age or health concerns.
We understand that asking for help can be daunting, but we’re here to assist you every step of the way.
