Assisted Living in Cardiff

What Is Assisted Living in Cardiff?

Assisted living is age-related care for people who need additional help with their daily routine. Some people choose to leave their home and move into specialised assisted living communities, but these can be expensive and in short supply. Instead, you can remain living in your own home with assisted living support from Helping Hands. Our highly trained caregivers are compassionate and professional and can undertake personal care, continence care, mobility support, medication administration, meal preparation, feeding & nutrition, housework, laundry, and so much more.

Types of Assisted Living Support Available in Cardiff

We offer both visiting and live-in care to our customers, and which you choose will depend on your condition and care needs.

Visiting care

Visiting care offers the support you want, when you need it. This means you can continue enjoying an independent, comfortable life at home without relocating to a care home. Our support starts from just 30 minutes per week up to several visits a day, and even overnight support if you require it.

Live-in care

Live-in care means you avoid the need to move to a care home and can continue to live well in the home and community you love. You’ll have support around the clock from your dedicated live-in caregiver who’ll reside in your home with you. This provides additional peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.

Who Is Assisted Living Suitable For?

Assisted living at home from Helping Hands means that you’ll get one-to-one, specialist support, in the comfort and safety of your own home. Remaining in your home also reduces the likelihood of confusion and anxiety, which is especially valuable for people living with dementia. You’ll get a more personalised experience than in a sheltered housing scheme as you’ll receive one-to-one support on your terms, and the bonus is you get to remain living in the home you love.

The Benefits of Assisted Living

Assisted living at home means you get the additional support you need while continuing to live independently. Why leave a property you love when you don’t have to? It may appear that having someone on-site in purpose-built accommodation is the best way for additional peace of mind, however what could be more reassuring than remaining in familiar surroundings, supported by a dedicated caregiver? Many older people in and around Cardiff are discovering that they don’t have to leave the home that means the world to them when they need higher levels of support.

How Our Assisted Living Service in Cardiff Works

We understand how important your home is to you and we’ll work tirelessly to keep you there. It may be the place you lived your whole married life, the garden you lovingly planted, or the place you raised children in. Regardless of why it’s important, we’ll respect the fact that it is. If you’d still like to enjoy favourite hobbies, or have some solitude with a book, the reasons are personal to you, and we’ll always respect that.

Our Expert Cardiff Assisted Living Carers

Our caregivers will support your physical wellbeing to the very highest standards, but that’s not all. They’ll also help you emotionally, keeping you motivated, and ensuring that you make the most of every day. Having someone there to chat to over a cuppa is just as valuable as having your housework undertaken, and that’s where the compassionate natures of our caregivers really come to the fore. That doesn’t happen by accident though, as we select and train them carefully to build on their existing skills and experience.
