Visiting care and home care in Cirencester

Often referred to as the capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester boasts farmers’ and antique markets, the oldest polo ground in the UK and one of the largest cathedrals in England, to name just a few of its accolades. During Roman times, this Gloucestershire district was the second largest town in Britain and in the 21st century, it still lives up to its historical beginnings. To add to its impressive list is a new branch of Helping Hands Home Care.

Our Cirencester team provide visiting and live-in care as little or often as you need. Whether you require help around the house, getting around your local community, or care for a complex condition, there is a Helping Hands carer awaiting your call.

    Home Care in Cirencester

    From as little as 30 minutes per week, our visiting care support packages are created with you at the centre. Whether you need support to get in and around Cirencester or you need regular personal care, we’ll ensure your support plan contains everything you need so that you can remain living in the place you know and love; your home.

    Visiting home care is also a great way to receive support little and often, but still have the freedom of living where you want to and how you want to. You don’t necessarily need to have personal care or assistance with taking medication to arrange visiting care - your care plan can be whatever you want it to be. So, if you’re in your thirties and need support visiting friends due to a congenial condition that limits your mobility, we can accompany you to meet up with them. Or if you’re in your seventies and struggle to make your own meals after an operation or health condition, we’ll pop in and make sure you have something tasty to eat.

    24/7 Live in Care Support

    Live-in care in Cirencester is a direct alternative to residential care or a nursing home. Not only does it allow you to stay in the comfortable surroundings of your own home, but it also gives you one-to-one support from a carer that will get to know you and your preferences.

    Living with you in your home, we ensure that all of our customers are very much involved in the process of selecting the right carer for them, not just in care experience but also in personality.

    Our Fully-Trained Carers

    With over 30 years’ experience, we have the skills, knowledge and expertise to provide all-round training for our new and existing carers. And we’re not the only ones who think so; our in-house training programme has been recognised as by Skills for Care as a Centre of Excellence. As well as our award-winning training, all of our carers complete full background checks, including a Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screening, so that you can have the utmost confidence in the person that is coming to your home to care for you.

    All personal care services are provided by our Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered office Helping Hands Cheltenham & Gloucester. Having a governing body regulate our service ensures we are delivering a safe and effective service whilst building trust between us and the many people we care for each day.

    Dementia Care in Cirencester

    With more and more people developing dementia, we understand how important it is to create the right level of care for anyone living with the condition who may need extra support. To ensure that you get the very best dementia care, all of our carers are given detailed dementia training which includes the different types of dementia, the effects of the condition and the most effective way to provide support.

    We are also members of the Dementia Action Alliance, who promote the latest and safest practices in dementia care throughout the UK. Along with the knowledge we have built up since our inception in 1989, these different elements enable us to support both your family and loved one who is living with the condition with the most appropriate care that is individual to them. What’s more, we want to enable as many people as possible that have dementia to live at home where they feel safe and comfortable.

    FAQs

    Home care in Cirencester is professional support provided in your own home, helping you or a loved one stay safe, comfortable and independent without needing to move into residential care. It can be arranged as regular visiting care, occasional support, respite care, or full-time live-in care, depending on your needs.

    With Helping Hands, care is built around your routine, so support can include anything from help getting up in the morning to companionship, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and personal care.

    Home care can include a wide range of practical, personal and emotional support. This may include help with washing, dressing, toileting, medication prompts, preparing meals, light housework, shopping, attending appointments, mobility support and companionship.

    Care can be flexible, from short visits during the week to several visits a day or live-in care. The right level of support will depend on your needs, routines and preferences.

    A carer can help with everyday tasks that have become difficult to manage alone. This might include getting in and out of bed, washing and dressing, preparing meals, moving safely around the home, taking medication, keeping the house tidy, going shopping, attending appointments or simply having someone there for companionship.

    The aim is to provide the right amount of support while helping you maintain independence, dignity and confidence at home.

    The cost of home care in Cirencester depends on the type and amount of support you need. Helping Hands’ visiting care prices currently start from £32.40 per hour, with visits available from 30 minutes, and live-in care currently starts from £1,675 per week for one person. A call-out or travel charge may also apply.

    Because everyone’s needs are different, the best way to get an accurate price is to arrange a care assessment. This helps create a tailored care plan and a clear breakdown of costs before care begins.

    Home care can be cheaper than a care home, especially if you only need support for part of the day or a few times a week. Age UK says privately arranged home care can cost around £25 per hour, while residential care averages around £949 per week and nursing home care around £1,267 per week, although costs vary by area and needs.

    For people who need round-the-clock support, live-in care may be closer in cost to residential care, but it allows you to remain in your own home, keep familiar routines and receive one-to-one support.

    Yes. Helping Hands states that its service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, or CQC, in England and the Care Inspectorate Wales, or CIW, in Wales. These regulators monitor care providers to make sure they meet required standards for safety, quality and care delivery.

    Individual branch ratings can vary, so it is always worth checking the relevant local branch profile when arranging care in Cirencester.

    Home care in Cirencester can often be arranged quickly, depending on your needs, location and carer availability. In many cases, care can begin within a few days, and urgent support may be possible sooner following an assessment.

    The first step is usually a conversation about your situation, followed by a care assessment and a personalised care plan. This helps make sure the right support is in place from the start.
