Visiting care and home care in Bexley

With some of the most beautiful 18th century buildings in the country to visit, it’s no wonder that Bexley is one of London’s hidden historical gems. With the likes of the beautiful Danson House, the elegant Hall Palace & Gardens and the fashionable arts & crafts building co-designed by the famous William Morris, you’re sure to find somewhere to while away the afternoons in this London Borough. There is even a local team of Helping Hands carers who can enable you to visit these wonderful places and to retain your independence at home. Our Bexley services are all fully regulated by the CQC.

The team of dedicated and responsive carers at our Bexley branch cover support across Belvedere, Bexley, Bexleyheath, Erith, Sidcup, Welling and the surrounding areas.

    Specialised Home care in Bexley

    For over 30 years, we have been supporting thousands of people to stay within the comfort of their own homes whilst receiving the highest quality care from our fantastic carers. And as the industry leaders in home care, we really do know what it takes to provide exceptional care.

    Visiting care covers a whole host of different elements of care:

    • Personal care
    • Support with medication
    • Assisting with mobility aids
    • Household duties
    • Companionship
    • Helping you to get out and about in Bexley
    What’s great about visiting care is that it’s tailored entirely around you and your preferences. So, if you require daily assistance with making meals but would like to add an extra visit the following week so that you can be accompanied to the shops, we’ll be completely flexible around you.

    Stay in your own home with live-in care

    As a direct alternative to a nursing home, live-in care in Bexley offers peace of mind and reassurance for you and your loved ones that you are receiving one-to-one support that you require, whilst remaining in the familiar surroundings of your own home. If you are living with a partner or beloved pet, live-in care enables you to stay together so that your routines are left unaltered, just with extra support from a dedicated live-in carer.

    Living with you in your home, a live-in carer will be able to support you in all elements of daily living, but also enable you to keep your independence and do the things that you want to do. So, if you need assistance with transferring from a mobility aid to your bed or chair but prefer to tend to your own personal care, we’ll only be involved where you want us to be.

    Elderly care in Bexley for extra peace of mind

    If your loved ones require extra support with preparing meals, getting their weekly shop or just general companionship, elderly care from the Bexley team could be the solution to both of your worries. Not only will a member of the team pop in to check on them, but they can also take them out and about in the local community for some fresh air and adventure.

    And if their care needs change at any point or if they become more unsteady on their feet, we can increase their visits or even begin live-in care for extra peace of mind.

    Fully trained carers in Bexley

    From the beginning of our recruitment process, we ensure that we select only the most empathetic and caring individuals to become Helping Hands carers. And because we provide in depth training to all of our private carers, we can guarantee a high level of care to all of our customers.

    Our award-winning training covers manual handling, personal care, health and safety, dementia, diversity and equality, medication and finances, and is delivered by our in-house training team. Furthermore, all of our branch managers and carers undergo regular refresher training and are fully supported by us to train in areas of expertise such as dementia or palliative care.

    As with any professional care provider, we are closely monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who put strict guidelines in place to ensure we are providing a safe, effective and proactive service to both our customers and staff. As well this, we work closely with the Dementia Action Alliance to ensure that we are providing the latest and safest dementia practices across our entire service.

    FAQs

    Home care in Bexley 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 Bexley 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 Bexley.

    Home care in Bexley 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.
