Home care in Fareham
Visiting care and home care in Fareham
Situated directly between the New Forest National Park and South Downs National Park, Fareham is a small market town within easy reach of beautiful forestry and a stunning coastline. However, being able to enjoy the sights of the wild horses in the New Forest and the peaceful horizon on the seafront can be difficult if you are in need of some extra support. That’s why we have a dedicated team of carers in Fareham to help you to live independently – both at home and out in the local community. Helping Hands are the only home care provider to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, and we are also fully licensed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Whether you need a companion to check in with you once per week, a friend to make your meals, or a specialist to support a complex condition, your Helping Hands carer can be available as little or often as you need. With a flexible package that can change as your needs do, our visiting care team are on hand to help as regularly as you require, while our live-in care team can provide support around the clock.

Branch Care Manager
From a very young age I had always wanted to nurse and care for the sick. I would dress up and bandage my teddies (and my dad!), and was obsessed with the television programme Angels. This passion drove me to begin my career in care. After working in the NHS for over 20 years I was always amazed at the dedication and enthusiasm of the carers, and none more so as those that work for Helping Hands. They all come with their own unique set of personal and professional skills and adapt to the individual needs of the customer, in particular those with Dementia and the challenges they present. During my downtime I enjoy spending time with my new husband. We were together during secondary school but our careers took us in different directions when we left. Five years ago we reconnected via Facebook and married in June 2021. My two sons are my absolute world and I am extremely proud of both of them. I love getting together, walking our dog Rodney and then having take away and board games. We are all quite competitive so it always ends up as a very noisy, fun evening.

One-to-one dementia care for you and your loved ones
-
With 920,000 people living with dementia in the UK, the demand for straight-forward and accessible information is rapidly increasing. And as one of the leading dementia care specialists in the UK, we understand that the time following a dementia diagnosis can be distressing and unnerving for you and your surrounding family. That’s why Karen and her team are here to give you guidance and support through every step of your journey and help you to live well with dementia.
With over 100 different variants of the condition, it can be difficult to understand the symptoms of dementia and how to manage them in a difficult situation. Whether you are experiencing problems with memory loss or you are in the latter stages of dementia and require more constant care, we’re here for you.

Elderly care to support your independence
-
As we reach our elderly years, our movements can become slower and we can sometimes become a little more forgetful – but that doesn’t necessarily mean that our desire to remain independent changes too. Maybe you are finding more difficulty with getting in and out of bed, or perhaps you don’t feel comfortable going out into your local community on your own; regardless of what it is you need, Karen and her team will provide a personalised care package that enables you to remain independent at home with no compromise to your safety or confidence.
As we grow older, it’s not uncommon for loneliness to take its toll on our wellbeing. But elderly care from Karen and her team doesn’t have to be just practical care; if you’d simply like a friendly face to pop in for a cup of tea and a chat a couple of times a week, we’ll be there for you.

Respite care for short-term support
-
Care needs can arise at any given moment for any given reason; often with such little notice that finding an alternative seems almost impossible. But with respite care from our Fareham team, we’ll work with you to provide a personalised care plan that is built entirely around you and your needs – often with as little as 24 hours’ notice.
You may be recovering from an unexpected illness or injury and you’d like some support with getting back on your feet, or perhaps you’re looking for care but want to see if home care is the right option for you before committing to anything long-term. Whatever it is you need, we can swiftly put a package of care in place that gives you the support you need, for as long as you need it.
