At Helping Hands, we’ve been providing transformative dementia support to customers across England and Wales since 1989. In that time, we’ve helped thousands of families to live more independently, confidently and comfortably in the familiar surroundings of their own homes through our dementia home care.
Our care support focuses on giving you, the customer, control over your care plan, so that you’re always at the centre of every decision. When you choose dementia care from Helping Hands, you’ll get a package of care that is fully designed around your needs and preferences, ensuring you’re never left feeling isolated or unsupported as you learn to live with what can often be a complex and difficult condition.
Traditionally, a dementia diagnosis would eventually mean moving to a care home or an end-of-life hospice. However, an increasing number of dementia patients are now instead choosing to remain at home and receive dementia care in the place where they’re most comfortable and at ease. This is usually on a visiting care or live in care basis.
Dementia care at home is a great option because it allows you to stay in a familiar, comforting environment where you won’t find your surroundings confusing or upsetting. Often a change of scenery can cause a heightened sense of confusion amongst people living with types of dementia, whereas recognisable sights and smells can help with memory retention and mental well-being.
Receiving dementia care at home also makes it easier for your family and friends to visit and support you, as you won’t be restricted by visiting hours and other care home policies.
When it comes to dementia support, we know that no two people have identical care needs. That’s why, at our Cosham Home Care branch, we’ll always take the time to properly understand your personal requirements and preferences, including any support needs that might be unique to your condition.
We’ll then offer you a package of care that gives you the right type and level of care for your circumstances, and our care experts will constantly keep in touch to make sure your care plan can be adapted accordingly should your requirements change. Our main priority at Helping Hands is to ensure our customers feel personally supported and understood in every way.
We’re extremely proud of our wonderful carers in Cosham; they truly are our most valuable asset, and they’re constantly going above and beyond to ensure our customers receive the exceptional home care that they’ve come to expect from Helping Hands.
All of our carers are selectively recruited for their compassionate, genuine approach to their care, and have been carefully vetted so that we know they’re the sort of person you’d be happy to have in your home. Every new carer is enrolled in our award-winning training programme, which we’ve been delivering in-house for over 30 years, where they’ll cover modules such as moving and handling, dementia care, administering medication, first aid and so much more.
Plus, for your added peace of mind, our care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care inspectorate Wales, reinforcing our commitment to only ever providing the very best care day in, day out.
