Are you thinking about seeking out home care for either yourself or a loved one? We understand that with so many available options, the process can be a daunting one. But Helping Hands has been a leader in the UK home care industry for more than three decades, and we have the experience and the expertise to put your mind at rest when it comes to receiving care of the very best standard. We are not only CQC certified and routinely monitored for quality, but we have also been awarded the title of Centre of Excellence, and are the only home care provider to ever have been given this award.
Our carers are fully trained, experienced professionals who genuinely love the work they do. Our goal is to always make sure you feel empowered to live the life you want to live, in the home you love best, and so we work around your daily routines, preferences and habits. We offer either live-in care for when more full-on support is needed, or visiting care which we arrange according to your desired schedule – this can be from as little as a half hour visit once per week.
We are at hand to do whatever it takes to bring a little comfort and ease to your daily life, whether that’s helping with housework, shopping and cooking a delicious evening meal, collecting a prescription, running errands, assisting with mobility in the home, helping with personal grooming activities like washing and dressing, pet care or simply being there for a kind word and some good company sharing a pot of tea.
If you already have a dedicated carer in place or are yourself a carer, you may find yourself occasionally needing someone to fill in for you when you’re unable to carry out your normal duties. Whether you’ve fallen ill, have a work or family emergency to tend to, or simply need a week’s holiday to rest and recuperate, we are here to make sure that everything runs smoothly at home in your absence.
Respite care is also an ideal solution for more intermediate and occasional care needs, such as post-surgery or in the days or weeks after an illness or accident, where an extra pair of hands certainly comes in handy. We also find that some carers are happy for a little extra support around busy holiday periods during the year – it’s all about making sure you have one less thing to worry about.
It’s our firm belief that just because you are getting older, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy all the things you love best in life. Our carers work hard to support you in the ways you need, whether that’s a single check-in visit here and there, or more consistent support throughout the day with all those little tasks that have become a bit more challenging. It might be that health issues have put some activities out of reach, or that you need a little help with your mobility – all our carers are there to make sure you get on with what you need to, with no loss to your sense of independence.
It’s not just practical support that we offer, however; we believe that effective elderly care is about emotional support, too, and we’re always thrilled to foster those genuine personal connections that can really make someone’s day. Our carers come from all walks of life, but they are each trained to our impeccable standards and have all been handpicked for their commitment to sincerely improving your quality of life, in big ways and small.
Family members of those living with the symptoms of dementia can understandably worry about their loved ones. It’s natural that you’d want to know they were safe and happy in your absence, and being well looked after. Our dementia care services are all about bringing compassion and professionalism to those whose condition may occasionally distress or confuse them. Our carers are properly trained and flexible enough to work around the sometimes predictable nature of condition like Alzheimer’s.
At Helping Hands, we know that no people are the same, and so the care they receive shouldn’t be, either. We are fully committed to being the best home care provider in the country and believe it’s this commitment that sets us in a class of our own.
