Live-In Care Cardiff

What's included with live in care from Helping Hands?

Helping Hands home care is designed to provide everything you need to stay comfortable in your own home and remain as independent as possible. This might start with practical support, such as collecting your shopping or prescriptions, helping with household tasks, or tending to plants in the garden, and can extend to personal care, such as washing, dressing, and continence support.

Our live-in care team in Cardiff also offers companionship. We believe care is about far more than completing daily tasks, but building genuine connections that support your overall wellbeing. That might mean enjoying a visit to a favourite local café, getting creative with crafts at home, or simply sharing a chat over a cup of tea.

Why you may need care

There are many reasons you might need care at home. You could benefit from regular elderly care throughout the week, or require specialised dementia support to help you live well with your condition. It might be that your usual carer needs respite, giving them time to rest while we step in. Or, you could be returning home after a hospital stay and need an extra hand getting back on your feet. Whatever the circumstance, our Cardiff team will be there when you need us most.

Carers for limited-hour visits

Some of our customers only need support for short periods, which is why our local Cardiff home care team can schedule your appointments with our visiting care. These visits can cover a wide range of tasks, like meal preparation, vacuuming, changing bed linen, assisting with medication, or helping you move safely around your home.

If you require extra reassurance at night, we can also provide overnight care. This may include support with getting in and out of bed, help with specific medication, or simply being there if you wake and feel unsure. Overnight care can be especially helpful for someone living with dementia, who may experience confusion or disorientation during the night. Knowing a trained professional is there can bring peace of mind to both you and your family.

Intermittent long-term visits

If you need temporary round-the-clock support while your usual carer takes a well-earned break, respite care can provide the perfect solution. Our Cardiff team can step in for just a week to much longer, giving both you and your regular carer the chance to rest and recharge.

With flexible, short-term visits or live-in support, you can continue living comfortably at home without needing to move into residential care. Your daily routines, preferences, and familiar comforts will be fully maintained, and you may even find a new companion in your respite carer.

Carers for immediate situations

Sometimes care needs arise with no warning, whether the family member who usually supports you suddenly has an urgent commitment, or you’ve experienced an accident or illness that means you need help right away. Our carers can arrange emergency care quickly, often on the very same day you contact us, ensuring you receive the support you need exactly when you need it.

Expert carers in Cardiff

We value every one of our carers highly, as they make a real difference to the lives of our customers at home.

To ensure the highest standards of safety and professionalism, all our carers undergo comprehensive background checks, including an enhanced DBS check and detailed character references.

Our Cardiff team is made up of people from a wide range of backgrounds, such as nursing or caring for their own loved ones. Regardless of their previous experience, every new carer completes an induction process, with regular refreshers throughout their career through our Centre of Excellence.
