You may have a professional carer coming to your home or be supported by family and friends, but regardless of who they are, they will be vulnerable to physical and emotional burnout if they don’t take time off regularly. At Helping Hands, we support people living with straightforward and more complex care needs, helping them fulfil their wish to remain living in the place they love and providing exceptional care at home in Devizes. All of our visiting and live-in care is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission too, which means you’ll always receive the very highest standards of care from Helping Hands.
Some of our respite customers only need us for a short while, whereas others need us longer-term and build on their respite care to continue receiving support for an ongoing condition. Respite care is a great way to discover if care at home really is right for you, as it means you get to know your local care team. Your regular caregiver can then return refreshed, knowing that you’ve been well cared for while they’ve been taking a well-earned rest.
All of our customers share one common desire: to remain in the home that means so much to them. We’re more than happy to help them achieve this goal because we know how much being at home supports their wellbeing. Surrounding ourselves with precious mementos, memories and pictures of a life well-lived is a great way for us to immerse ourselves in positivity, regardless of what stage of our life we’re at, and it’s a lot easier to do this in familiar surroundings than to uproot to a place with strange sounds, people and décor that you can’t feel relaxed in.
Whether you need support for a few days or several weeks, we can provide it. You’ll be cared for by compassionate people who work directly for us – we don’t allow our carers to be self-employed as we want to ensure they receive all the reassurance that protection by UK employment law brings. We’ve also never run franchises, preferring instead to retain ownership of all our 150 branches ourselves, building consistency and quality in every location. We also equip our carers with all the qualifications and short courses they need to be fully confident in their roles, which benefits both them and their customers, every single day.
