The word ‘hospice’ can be upsetting because it conjures up images of the end of life approaching, however hospices these days are as much geared to helping people navigate through their palliative care journey and make the most of every day, as anything else. This is why Helping Hands are able to provide you with high-quality home care in Cornwall, because we focus on supporting you to make the most of every day. You may not even realise that you can remain living in your home and receive hospice care as part of your palliative care journey, from compassionate, experienced visiting and live-in care professionals from Helping Hands. All of our care services are also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, so we mean it when we say you’re in the very best hands.
You may have just received your diagnosis of a condition, or you’ve been on your palliative journey for a while. We support people who are living with dementia, cancer, and many other life-limiting conditions, to get the most out of every day and enjoy the time that’s left to them, making memories and reminiscing with loved ones. Our compassionate live in care in Cornwall team can support you with every aspect of your daily routine, from meal preparation, to laundry, and personal care, plus however else you need us.
Our care has never been designed as ‘one size fits all’. We’ve always focussed on providing a bespoke care experience for every one of our customers, helping them to shape their days into what works best for them, especially during the uncertainty of a life-limiting diagnosis. We mould your care package around you, making sure that you have everything you need to remain comfortable and pain-free, working with your wider healthcare team wherever appropriate as well. We’ll also accompany you to appointments, activities, and into the community so that you can still enjoy the great outdoors if you wish.
Our carers come to us with a range of knowledge and experience, some gained through years in the care industry and others elsewhere, but regardless of where it comes from, we always value people’s experiences and build on them accordingly. While it’s true we always want to deliver consistent care to the highest standards, we value the differences that make our carers and customers unique and know that how you wish to spend your days is not going to be the same as everybody else. Consequently, we equip our carers with a wide range of knowledge that means they’ll be able to support you as the individual you are, not just see you as a particular condition. Our in-house training academy ensures that we always provide bespoke learning opportunities to everyone who works for us and encourage development whenever possible.
