Our home care Christchurch team has a qualified team of carers who are committed to improving the lives of those facing challenges such as dementia, mobility issues and other health conditions. We specialise in home care services and offer a diverse range of care packages that can be customised to suit your needs. Here are some of the professional care services being offered in Christchurch and the surrounding areas.
Respite care
Caring for someone who needs support is a powerful act that can build strong bonds and create meaningful connections. Many people in the UK provide some level of care to a family member or friend. This may be as simple as helping with chores around the house once a week to providing round-the-clock care. Having this extra support allows many people to remain living safely at home, without the need to consider residential care. However, caring for someone can be extremely challenging, especially if you provide high levels of care and have other demands on your time.
Fortunately, respite care services are available to relieve carers of their care duties. Carers can arrange temporary respite care for a few weeks to allow them to go on holiday, or for a few days to give them a chance to run errands. Respite care can also be arranged at short notice due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness or a family emergency. This means you never have to worry about your loved one being without the support they need, as our dedicated carers are always ready to step in and help.
Elderly care
More and more elderly people are choosing to live at home in their later years rather than moving into residential care homes. However, daily tasks like cooking and getting dressed often become more difficult as people become older. When this happens, a professional carer can be called upon to provide the support you need to live safely and independently at home. Our carers receive award-winning training for elderly care and can assist with many daily tasks including household chores, running errands and shopping, administering medication, and attending appointments. Our elderly care plans are completely flexible and can be tailored to you. We also have a skilled team of carers who are trained to assist elderly people with complex needs such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.
Domiciliary care
Domiciliary care – also known as care at home – allows you or your loved one to remain living in the place they feel happiest: their home. Domiciliary care can be temporary or ongoing and may be required for various reasons, including sickness and injury. Many people choose domiciliary care because it puts them back in control of the support they receive. You can choose the level of care you require, with everything from visiting care to live-in care available. Your care plan will be reviewed regularly and updated to reflect any changes in your care needs. Our care services are always tailored to you and focus on helping you live the way you want.
Our Christchurch team has been helping people live independently at home for the past 30 years. Helping Hands carers are are required to complete extensive training and assessments, along with thorough background checks. We focus on treating each customer as an individual, with their own unique care needs. We will always go the extra mile to help you keep your independence and freedom.
All personal care services are provided by our Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered office Helping Hands Dorset. This means you can have confidence in the standard and quality of our care.
