Carers work incredibly hard – whether paid professional or supporting a loved one – and need to take time off regularly to avoid burning out. This is where respite care can be invaluable, because it will provide ongoing, consistent support for someone who requires extra help to live as well as possible at home, while carers get to take a break without worrying about the person they’ve left. Having to move into residential respite care can be disruptive, especially if its only for a short while, which is why having Helping Hands come to you and provide respite care at home in Bridgnorth is the best solution.
Accepting care that’s fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission means that you and your loved ones can have total confidence in the services we deliver. We can provide respite support from a few days to several weeks, with a focus on supporting your housework, personal care, medication, meal preparation, and so much more. Many of our customers struggle with mobility and accessing their local community, and our friendly carers will be able to build your confidence and help you achieve that, too.
Our care services have been honed over decades of experience, moulding us into the UK’s most trusted home care provider. We were founded in 1989 as a family company, and we’ve never lost sight of those values that were built into us when we began. We build on your current requirements to devise you a personalised package of care that will ensure there is consistency at all times until your regular carer returns.
All of our respite carers have been equipped with the skills they’ll need to fully care for you at home. Building on the knowledge they already have, we design them a personalised programme of training that enables them to learn on-the-job as well as undertake qualifications and short courses. We have our own training academy at Helping Hands where we deliver everyone’s development opportunities under one roof, enabling them to become more confident in their roles and seek promotion if they want it. We’re proud that so many of our managers began as carers with us and the fact they’ve chosen to stay and build a career at Helping Hands is testament to the supportive environment we strive to maintain.
