Being a carer is undoubtedly the most rewarding job someone can do, however giving so much of oneself physically and emotionally means that regular time off is needed to recharge and refresh. If you have had long-term care then you may be worried about your regular carer taking time off, concerned that your routines will change, and you won’t get on with someone new. However, with Helping Hands we work hard to make sure that doesn’t happen, and our home care in Ellesmere Port team will always put you at the centre of your care journey.
If you or your loved one is looking for someone to cover carer time off, also known as respite care, then look no further than Helping Hands, for respite care on either a short or longer-term basis. Perhaps you’ve been in hospital, you’re recovering from a fall, or you haven’t been well; we can support you with every aspect of your recovery. Or, if you already have care and need to let your regular carer have a holiday, we can help with that too.
Regardless of your needs, our carers will have had experience supporting people living with a similar condition. This means they will be in a great position to support you to remain independent in the home you love, no matter how long you need us for. Our care services are available on a visiting or live-in basis, from just an hour a week up to around the clock support. Whether your regular carer needs a well-earned rest or we just help you to get back on your feet, our bespoke packages of care can be designed to your exact requirements, accompanied by a detailed support plan that will contain how you like things done. Our care packages are totally managed by us and also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission across the whole of England, so you can be confident that you’ll always be in the very best hands.
Our Ellesmere Port team of professional carers can provide cover for any respite needs you have. We’re confident in every one of the people who works for us because we’re very particular about who we employ – only taking on a small percentage of people who apply to us and who demonstrate excellent personal qualities of compassion and kindness. All of our carers have amazing personal skills, and we build on their professional knowledge to ensure they have everything they need to deliver exceptional care. We equip our carers with opportunities for development as well as training whenever they want it, so they can be the very best carer possible and keep you safe, comfortable and happy at home.
