When you’ve been diagnosed with a life-limiting condition or you’re on your palliative care journey you may wish to remain in your own home for your care and support. This is because you’ll be surrounded by memories that bring comfort to you, and people who you want nearby. We have our own team of clinical nurses at Helping Hands, and they will manage your package of care, making sure that the carer in your home is fully experienced in everything they’ll need to keep you comfortable. We offer home care in Bristol on both a visiting and live-in care basis, all fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales.
Having a choice for where you receive your care is important at any stage of your life, but when you’ve been diagnosed with a terminal illness you will want everything in place so that you’ll remain comfortable for as long as possible. Many people don’t realise there are choices regarding where you receive your support, instead presuming that they will have to go into care and leave the home that means everything to them.
Remaining in your own home with a support plan designed with you at it’s centre means you get a truly personalised package of care. Many people don’t realise that they have the option of remaining living at home for their palliative and end of life care, but with Helping Hands we’ll design your care around you and how you wish to spend your days. We have care teams across England and Wales who can offer intermittent care or around the clock support, whatever works best for you, and we’ll guide you through the entire process. We also have our own team of clinical nurses who will manage your support and ensure your carer has all the experience they’ll need to keep you comfortable and safe at home.
Our carers are chosen because of their compassionate and empathetic natures, and the desire they have for helping people to live as well as possible for as long as they can at home. We believe that living at home is good for your physical and emotional wellbeing because you’re always surrounded by people, pets, and possessions that mean the world to you. You can only get this by having your care come to you, via special people who are dedicated to providing exceptional support throughout your entire palliative journey. We support our carers to develop their skills and knowledge throughout their Helping Hands career, via dedicated courses and programmes of instruction. Explore live in care in Bristol today.
