Home care in Brighton

If you need extra support on top of visiting care, live-in care could be a more preferred option for you because it allows you to have round-the-clock care from one carer. As the name suggests, a live-in carer will come and live with you in your home to make sure you have everything you need whenever you need it – whether that’s regularly helping you to apply medicated creams if you have a skin condition or if you need someone to help you with toileting needs throughout the night.

And because you’re welcoming a new person to come and live with you in your home, we’ll work with you to find the perfect carer for you, in both care experience and personality. So, if you enjoy keeping in touch with the local community and spending your afternoons at Brighton Marina soaking up the sun and activity, or if you prefer the quiet life of relaxing in your back garden amongst the backdrop of your beloved flowers and plants – we’ll ensure you have a carer that enjoys doing this with you too.

Using a private home care provider such as Helping Hands is a much more straightforward, stress-free option that turning to a care agency. We employ all of our carers directly, which means that we pay their salary, give them comprehensive training, take care of all the behind-the-scenes admin, and won’t surprise you with any hidden costs or unexpected fees. We know that you want your care journey to be as stress-free and straightforward as possible, so we do our utmost to guarantee that when you partner with Helping Hands, what you see is what you get.

When it comes to choosing care, there are lots of different options and providers to pick from. But with domiciliary care from the Brighton Helping Hands team, you can rest assured that everything will be taken care of whilst you retain your independence.

Traditionally known as visiting care, this type of care can be delivered little or often to suit you. Whether you need support with doing your weekly shop, tidying the house or watering the flowers, to more personal care such as support with going to the toilet, getting dressed or bathing/showering – we’ll create a care package that’s centred around you and your requirements.

With dementia care from the Brighton team, we’ll make sure that you are completely listened to so that your needs are met and everything is done just how you like it. With a dementia diagnosis, familiarity is key, so we’ll limit the number of carers that come to visit you so that you can get to know them and build up trust with them.

Whether you have vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia or Alzheimer’s, our expert carers will be there to comfort you through the happy times and the difficult times too. We’ll also help you to cope with the common symptoms of memory loss, confusion and disorientation by making small tweaks to your routine, such as enlarged clocks to prompt you to take your medication or showing you old football games of the Seagulls when you remember them at their best.

We all know the saying: ‘You’re only as old as you feel.’ But if you find yourself starting to struggle with everyday tasks that are having an impact on your wellbeing, it might be time to have a bit of extra support.

With elderly care, we won’t intrude on your existing routines or preferences. We’ll be led entirely by you and take things at your pace. So, if you initially just want help with changing the bed sheets and doing the washing up, that’s exactly what we’ll do. After getting used to your regular carers, you may then find that you feel comfortable in asking for a bit of extra help with your personal care or toileting needs. We can accommodate for this too and alter your care plan wherever necessary.

Taking a break when you’re a full-time carer can be a staple to your caregiving routine. However, if you’re unsure of the best way to do this, you can rely on a respite carer from the Brighton team to step in where you left off, so that your loved one or friend isn’t left without support and you can take a well-earned rest.

For emergencies or if you need a short-term care solution after a spell in hospital following an operation or illness, we can provide a respite carer usually on the same day that you enquire with us. That way, you can rest assured that you have someone there that you can rely on to help you get back on your feet again.
