Remaining in your own home for palliative and end-of-life care ensures that you receive one-to-one person-centred support at all times. Being diagnosed with a life-limiting condition can create uncertainty for both you and your loved ones, especially around the future and what your care needs will be, but with hospice care from Helping Hands you’ll always be at the centre of your support journey. Our intermittent visiting and live-in home care in Birmingham is designed around you, and because they’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, you and your loved ones can be confident in the high standards we always deliver.
Choosing whether to leave your beloved home and go into hospice care or whether to stay in familiar surroundings is choice that you may have to make as your palliative care journey progresses. However, if you are unsure about leaving your home you really don’t have to. Our compassionate carers will come to your home as often as you need them to, or can live in to suit you, and work closely with your wider healthcare team to ensure you have a fully rounded, holistic package of care and support.
We design your package of care around you and your routines to ensure that you never feel as if your life is no longer your own. Even if you have live-in care in Birmingham you will still call the shots in your own surroundings because they are always discreet and will only be with you when you want them to be. The rest of their time can be taken up with housework and making sure you eat nutritious meals, plus supporting your personal care and ensuring you take the correct medication at the appropriate times. Your carer will be as visible as you want them to be and always ready to offer companionship and emotional support, as well as help with practical tasks.
We work hard to make sure that we only take on naturally compassionate people at Helping hands, and we only choose the best of the best to become deliver hospice, palliative, and end-of-life care. We make sure that they have all the skills necessary to provide you with exceptional support, both physically and emotionally, and will also be a comforting shoulder when your loved ones are struggling too. We have our own team of clinical nurses who manage our more complex packages of support and give additional instruction to our carers so that they are prepared for every aspect of your care and support needs. We also have our own training academy that designs a bespoke programme of development for each employee based on their job role, so no-one will ever be left unsure of how to best look after their customer.
