Other care we provide
Home care in Calne
For over 30 years, we have been providing home care to thousands of people up and down the country to ensure that they can remain living as independently as possible in their own home. And that is no different at our new branch in Calne.
Designed to adapt to you and your needs, our tailored support plans are created with you so that you can let us know exactly what you need support with and how you like things, but also the things that you want to do by yourself – whether you need help with getting dressed but like to have a go at doing as much as you can or if you love cooking but are unsteady on your feet and need support getting all of the ingredients and utensils.
Visiting care can start from as little as 30 minutes a week and go all the way up to several hourly visits throughout the day, with the option of having overnight care if you become anxious during the early hours. Whether you’re living with Parkinson’s and need support taking medication and keeping your home clean and tidy or if you’re living with multiple sclerosis and need assistance with your mobility in and outside of your home, we’ll be there to help.
Live in care for peace of mind
For added peace of mind that there is always someone there to support you, live-in care in Calne can provide the ultimate reassurance that your care needs will be tended to whenever you require.
Live-in care is a direct alternative to residential care or a nursing home, as it allows you to receive 24-hour support but all from the comfort of your own home. There’s no need to leave a partner or spouse behind and there are no set timetables for meals, getting up in the morning or prescribed activities.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Calne
One thing that truly sets our carers apart is their innate ability to empathise and genuinely care for those that they are looking after. These qualities aren’t things that can be taught, but to ensure our carers are equipped with the skills that they need in Calne, they receive award winning training for manual handling, first aid, safeguarding, equality and diversity, medication and personal care. In addition to their initial training, they are also required to complete refresher training so that they always provide the latest and safest care to their customers.
All personal care services are provided by our Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered office Helping Hands Hungerford. The CQC ensure that we provide a safe, responsive and effective service and also do what we say we’re going to do. That way, you can rest assured that you or your loved one is receiving care from a regulated provider who has your best interests at heart.
Extra support with dementia care
A diagnosis of dementia can often be quite a distressing time for the individual and their family. But with the expertise and knowledge of our dementia care carers, you can all rest assured that your loved one is in the very best and capable hands.
We ensure that all of our carers receive up-to-date dementia training so that they can provide personalised and empathetic care for your loved one and support for you and the rest of the family. Whether it’s help with the confusion and memory loss, helping to make the home more dementia-friendly or just popping in regularly to check that they’re okay, we’ll ensure that they have everything they need to stay safe and well at home with dementia.
