Visiting care and home care in Fordingbridge

Sandwiched between the New Forest and Cranborne Chase, residents of Fordingbridge are spoiled for choice when it comes to local areas of natural beauty. That’s why, when the need for home care arises, we’d love to help you stay in your own home and continue enjoying your wonderful rural surroundings. Our care focuses on allowing you to be as independent as possible and maintain the way of life you wish to follow, whatever that may look like. We don’t believe that having care means you need to suddenly stop doing the things you enjoy, such as having loved ones over for a cuppa or going for a scenic stroll in the forest, so our carers will always go above and beyond to support you in whatever ways you require. And, for your peace of mind, we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), so you know your support will only ever be of the very highest standard.

Handpicked carers

We only employ those special people with the right levels of patience, empathy, and compassion to care for you as we'd want our own families to be cared for.

Care that's tailored to you

We know that good care means something different to each of us. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your family to understand your needs and preferences.

Supporting families

High quality home care in Fordingbridge

Our Fordingbridge carers are committed to ensuring every aspect of our home care is as brilliant as it possibly can be. From your very first phone call to our friendly customer support team, we’ll make sure you’re at the heart of every decision that’s taken regarding your care. We’re passionate about ensuring our care focuses on the specific needs and preferences of each individual customer – whether you require support for a certain condition, or simply like your eggs done a particular way with your breakfast. It’s our attention to detail and the dedication of our brilliant carers that make our care services so popular and effective.

24/7 live in care support

One of the care services we provide is live-in care, where a carer from our Fordingbridge team will come and live in your home with you and offer round-the-clock support. Live-in care gives you the unique opportunity to have one of our wonderful, expertly-trained carers come to live with you in your home and provide you with round-the-clock support and companionship. They’ll be able to support you all throughout the day and even overnight, ensuring you and your loved ones can have complete peace of mind about your well-being. We know that having a stranger come to live with you in your home can be a big step to take, so we’ll help you choose a carer who shares your personality, likes and hobbies so that you can really enjoy spending time with them.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Fordingbridge

Helping Hands are a private care provider, rather than a care agency. This means we’re able to provide our customers with a number of guarantees about what they can expect from their care – and their carers. For instance, unlike many agencies, we employ every single one of our carers directly, so you know they’ve been through our rigorous vetting process and have each received our industry-leading carer training. We also pay them a salary, which means you won’t ever need to worry about handling payments or spend time filling out mountains of paperwork. We firmly believe that by employing every carer directly, we’re able to offer a smoother service where your carer devotes their time and energy to providing you with the best support possible.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Fordingbridge

Our Fordingbridge branch comprises a team of exceptional carers who truly are at the heart of everything our customers love about our care service. Every Helping Hands carer has been carefully vetted, and must go through our rigorous recruitment and assessment process before joining us. Then, when they start, all new carers enrol on our industry-renowned carer training programme, where they’re equipped to provide a wide range of care services to people with varying needs, and will continue to participate in regular refresher courses so that their knowledge and skillset are updated proactively.

FAQs

Home care can be a positive solution for anyone who wants to remain living at home while receiving additional support. This might be due to ageing, long-term health conditions, reduced mobility or recovery after illness or surgery. When care needs arise, many people face the decision between moving into a residential care setting or arranging professional support at home.

We strongly believe that staying at home can help people retain independence, confidence and a sense of normality. Home care in Swindon allows individuals to continue living in familiar surroundings while receiving personalised one-to-one support that fits around their routines. From assistance with daily tasks to more complex care needs, support is tailored to each individual. The Swindon team are committed to helping people feel safe, supported and in control of their lives.

The cost of home care in Swindon depends on the type and amount of support required. Care is flexible and can range from short visits each week to full live-in care for those who need continuous assistance. Because every care plan is bespoke, pricing reflects the level of care you choose.

A free care assessment helps determine what level of support is most suitable. During this process, the team will explain pricing clearly and answer any questions you may have. Helping Hands focus on transparency, ensuring you understand what is included and how costs are structured. The Swindon team are always available to discuss care options and provide guidance.

Yes, home care is designed to be flexible and responsive. Needs can change gradually or unexpectedly, and your care plan can be adjusted at any time. This may involve increasing or reducing visit times, changing care priorities or transitioning to a different type of support.

The Swindon team work closely with you and your family to ensure your care continues to meet your needs. Regular reviews help ensure support remains appropriate, effective and centred around your wellbeing.

If care is needed urgently, we’ll aim to put support in place within 72 hours of your initial enquiry. The first step is a free care assessment carried out by a local care manager in Swindon. This takes place in your home and allows you to discuss your needs, preferences and routines in detail.

Following the assessment, a suitable start date will be agreed based on availability. The team make every effort to ensure you’re not left without support for longer than necessary.

Getting started is simple. A call to the customer support team will arrange your free care assessment at a time that suits you. During the visit, your care manager will take the time to understand your daily life and what matters most to you.

If you’re happy with the proposed care plan, we’ll match you with carers who suit your needs and personality. Care then begins in your own home, supporting you to live independently and securely.

All Helping Hands carers are directly recruited, trained and employed by the company. They are fully insured and bonded, providing reassurance for customers and families. The team maintain high standards of professionalism and care quality.

If your regular carer cannot attend a visit, a suitable replacement will always be arranged. The team aim to keep visits as close as possible to the original schedule to minimise disruption.
