Since 1989, Helping Hands have been supporting our customers across England and Wales to continue living comfortably, independently and securely in their family home through our compassionate, person-centred home care services. One of the services our wonderful carers in Cornwall offer is supported living, which helps those with disabilities or additional care needs to live on their own terms as much as possible without having to leave the home they love.
Our supported living services aren’t just provided by unskilled assistants, but by specialist, expertly-trained carers. This means that they can help with a wide range of services around the home – whether that’s practical support with housekeeping and meal preparation, physical support with mobility and physiotherapy, or simply being a friendly, trusted companion.
Supported living can be a great option for people with a wide variety of needs who are looking to live as independently as possible. Our supported living is available to care for complex conditions such as spinal injuries, neurological conditions, other physical infirmities, and mental disabilities. It might be that you just need someone popping in two or three times a week to help with the housework, do some laundry and make sure you’re doing okay. Alternatively, you may require 24/7 supported living, with the assistance of a live-in carer.
We offer a number of different services to ensure you get to live life exactly the way you wish to, with your support tailored around your own personal routines. Unlike in a residential care home or nursing home, staying at home allows you to have a care plan that is designed specifically with your needs and wishes in mind. Your local care manager in Cornwall will visit you at home for an initial assessment of your needs, so that they can put together a care plan that ensures you’re never left feeling isolated or unsupported. From there, we can make any changes to your support that you may require as your needs evolve, so that you’ve always got the right type and level of care.
We’re extremely proud of our brilliant carers in Cornwall – they truly are exceptional at what they do, and constantly go above and beyond to ensure every customer is completely satisfied with the support they’re receiving. We only hire the kindest, most compassionate people to our care teams, and every new carer must undergo a number of rigorous background checks before joining our Cornwall team. Then, when they start with us, all carers enrol on our industry-leading carer training, where they’re equipped to provide a wide range of supported living services to people with varying needs. And, for your total peace of mind, our supported living is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), so you know it will always be of the very highest standard.
If you’d like to find out more about our supported care in Cornwall and the surrounding area, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our friendly customer support team today. They’re available seven days a week, and will always be happy to assist with any queries you might have.
