Your flexible support plan will be produced in collaboration with you or your decision-makers, ensuring that your needs and wishes are always placed at the forefront of your care journey. Your carer will support you with as much or as little as you need, from meal preparation, housework, personal care, mobility or clinical support, as well as accompanying you to appointments or activities that you enjoy. Being cared for in your own home means you get support with the essentials in life, but you get to stay in the place that you love. It’s a win-win situation!
There are many reasons why you may have started exploring care options for your or a loved one; you may have noticed that housework is becoming more difficult, or perhaps you enjoy going for a walk but no longer feel confident going out without support? The Beverley team can advise you on what our carers are able to do for you to make your life a little easier, from companionship all the way up to full-time, live-in care.
Carers for limited hour visits
You may be reassured by knowing that someone is coming to see you at a regular time each week, whether for a cup of tea and a chat, or to support you with some household tasks. Perhaps you are no longer confident getting in and out of the shower or would appreciate another person’s support to walk your beloved pet? Visiting care can be from as little as 30 minutes, up to as many hours a day as you need, meaning you can relax knowing that everything will get done as you want, and your routines can be preserved. Your life is just that; yours, meaning that your carer is not coming in to ‘take over’; they are there to do things just as you like them done, within the flexible framework of your support plan, which can be adapted by the branch team any time you want things done differently. Perhaps you are finding the night-time difficult and struggle to sleep, or have anxiety during the hours of darkness? A carer can be with you overnight if necessary, which is reassuring for you but also for your loved ones, especially if they live a distance away.
Intermittent long-term visits
If you are caring for a loved one, you know how much of your energy it can take, which is why it’s so important that you have regular breaks. Perhaps you want to reconnect with your partner, spend time with the kids, or even go on a family holiday? It’s understandable that you wouldn’t be able to relax unless you knew that your loved one was being cared for properly though, so that’s where the professional team in Beverley can reassure you. All of our carers are highly trained and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked, so you can take time away knowing that everything will run as smoothly as possible in your absence.
Carers for immediate situations
We can’t predict what life will hand us and it’s the same when it comes to our health. If your family is struck by an emergency situation you need a care company who can get the right care into your loved one’s home as quickly as possible. Talk to the Beverley team about immediate solutions to your unexpected care needs, whether for an unexpected hospital discharge, recovery after a stroke or fall, or perhaps the sudden deterioration of an ongoing illness. Knowing that the right care is in place is one less source of anxiety for you and your loved ones, so talk to the team today about your care needs.
Jennie and the team in Beverley are proud to support customers from all over the local area, supporting people to stay in their own homes and live as independently as they can. We are also proud to be fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England, especially as the Beverley branch was regulated ‘Good’ in their most recent inspection. Our carers are all highly knowledgeable and professional and go through a rigorous training programme before and during their time with Helping Hands, covering topics such as moving and handling, first aid, dementia care, safeguarding and medication administration. Therefore you can be confident in the whole team to fully support you and your loved ones, regardless of your care needs.
