Staying at home can be hugely beneficial to your physical and emotional wellbeing when you need extra support, because being in familiar surroundings can reduce anxiety and help you to feel more relaxed. It’s also really important that your regular caregiver gets to take a break from time to time, to ensure that they come back refreshed and energised to continue supporting you again. Therefore, if you need some extra support, whether temporarily or longer term, have a chat with our team in Exeter to find out more.
Your carer can come to you on a visiting basis, which means they will call at pre-arranged time to carry out your care anywhere from 30 minutes upwards, or alternatively, the carer can live-in your home with you, taking care of you to the same high standards that you’d expect from Helping Hands. With live in care in Exeter you also get the benefit of round the clock companionship, which can be perfect for some people who are living alone and don’t just want practical care. Of course, whether visiting or live-in, your carer will be able to support you with all your requirements, including medication administration, meal preparation, mobility support, personal care, housework and much more.
Exeter post-discharge support
When you’ve been in hospital, you and your loved ones need to know that your care will continue once you return home. This is where respite care can be invaluable; your carer will be with you for however long it takes to see you fully recovered, and if you decide you’d like your care to continue once you’re back on your feet, our Exeter team will arrange everything for you.
Emergency care across Exeter
If you have a regular carer but they need to get home in an emergency, we can ensure that a replacement emergency carer is in your home within 24 hours. Equally, finding out your loved one is about to be discharged from hospital at short notice can lead loved ones to worry about who is going to care for you. Having a respite carer come to you at home means peace of mind for you and your family members and an excellent continuity of care.
Helping Hands have been supporting people to remain as independent as possible in their own homes since 1989; consequently, we really are the homecare specialists.
