Dementia care in Daventry

Deciding whether to stay in your own home for dementia care or leave it and go to a residential care home is a very personal decision that will affect both you and those around you, however when it comes to dementia, remaining in your home will often be the best option. This is because some of the confusion and resulting anxiety that comes with dementia can be made worse by being in unfamiliar surroundings with changing faces you don’t know, whereas staying in the home you know and love, with people and pets who mean the world to you, can often help. As can having the same small group of carers come to you every day, which is what you get with Helping Hands.

Whether you require visiting care, where our carers come to you at home as often as you need them, as an aide to family carers or to do everything you need, or you’d like someone to live in your home with you, we can help. Our carers will be able to support you with every aspect of your daily routine, making sure your care takes place as you have personally selected it to, whether that’s your personal care, meal preparation, mobility and medication support, housework, laundry or helping you to access the community. Our visiting care starts from just 30 minutes per week, whereas live-in care gives you and your loved ones the reassurance that you’re never alone at home, whether during the day or overnight.

Not everyone gets to be a Helping Hands carer; we are careful to make sure that we choose the most compassionate and naturally caring people to look after our customers. Experience is great obviously, but we are happy to train someone on everything they need to know if they’ve never cared professionally before, as we feel the personal traits of kindness and patience are far more important and something that can never be taught. Regardless, everyone who joins us receives comprehensive training, background checks and is DBS screened before they meet their customers, giving you and your loved ones extra reassurance about who is entering your home. We are also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales to give you and your loved ones confidence and reassurance, and to make sure you know that you’re always being cared for by the best.

Call us today to discover more about how we could be providing dementia care for you or a loved one at home. You can call our customer care specialists seven days a week for your convenience, or if you prefer, you can contact us via our website and we’ll be happy to call you back.
