This ethos is also shared by our dedicated branch team in Godalming. An historic market town set upon the River Wey, Godalming is an ideal place to rest and relax and take in the beautiful surroundings of the Surrey countryside.

    Extra support with home care in Godalming

    The idea behind visiting home care is to support you little and often in a way that fits into your day-to-day life. This means you can still go about your day in the way you choose – just with an extra helping hand along the way. Our visiting care support covers, but is not limited to personal care, housework, mobility support, medication management, and – perhaps most importantly – companionship.

    Why we’re not a Care Agency in Godalming

    At Helping Hands, we’re a private care provider rather than a care agency, which means that you won’t get any annoying hidden costs or unwanted extras from us. We’re completely upfront about our care fees, and because you’ll have control over your care plan, you’ll know exactly what to expect from us in terms of weekly hours, level of care and type of support. We can also adapt your care accordingly as your situation changes.

    Live-in care Godalming

    Live in care in Godalming is a direct alternative to moving into a nursing home as it allows you to receive 24-hour support but from the comfort of your own home. There are lots of benefits to choosing live-in care, particularly if your needs are more complex. If you do have clinical needs that require close monitoring, we have our own team of nurses who oversee any clinical aspects of care, and make sure our carer is fully trained to support you.

    Fully-trained carers in Godalming

    We wouldn’t be one of the leading home care providers in the UK if it wasn’t for the thorough training and careful selection of our wonderful carers. All of our carers undergo an enhanced Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) check before they join us, and we also carry out extensive character references too. After all, our carers are trusted to go into your home and look after your wellbeing, so we need to ensure that we have completed all of the necessary safety checks before they begin their journey with us.

    FAQs

    Home care in Godalming is professional support provided in your own home, helping you or a loved one stay safe, comfortable and independent without needing to move into residential care. It can be arranged as regular visiting care, occasional support, respite care, or full-time live-in care, depending on your needs.

    With Helping Hands, care is built around your routine, so support can include anything from help getting up in the morning to companionship, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and personal care.

    Home care can include a wide range of practical, personal and emotional support. This may include help with washing, dressing, toileting, medication prompts, preparing meals, light housework, shopping, attending appointments, mobility support and companionship.

    Care can be flexible, from short visits during the week to several visits a day or live-in care. The right level of support will depend on your needs, routines and preferences.

    A carer can help with everyday tasks that have become difficult to manage alone. This might include getting in and out of bed, washing and dressing, preparing meals, moving safely around the home, taking medication, keeping the house tidy, going shopping, attending appointments or simply having someone there for companionship.

    The aim is to provide the right amount of support while helping you maintain independence, dignity and confidence at home.

    The cost of home care in Godalming depends on the type and amount of support you need. Helping Hands’ visiting care prices currently start from £32.40 per hour, with visits available from 30 minutes, and live-in care currently starts from £1,675 per week for one person. A call-out or travel charge may also apply.

    Because everyone’s needs are different, the best way to get an accurate price is to arrange a care assessment. This helps create a tailored care plan and a clear breakdown of costs before care begins.

    Home care can be cheaper than a care home, especially if you only need support for part of the day or a few times a week. Age UK says privately arranged home care can cost around £25 per hour, while residential care averages around £949 per week and nursing home care around £1,267 per week, although costs vary by area and needs.

    For people who need round-the-clock support, live-in care may be closer in cost to residential care, but it allows you to remain in your own home, keep familiar routines and receive one-to-one support.

    Yes. Helping Hands states that its service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, or CQC, in England and the Care Inspectorate Wales, or CIW, in Wales. These regulators monitor care providers to make sure they meet required standards for safety, quality and care delivery.

    Individual branch ratings can vary, so it is always worth checking the relevant local branch profile when arranging care in Godalming.

    Home care in Godalming can often be arranged quickly, depending on your needs, location and carer availability. In many cases, care can begin within a few days, and urgent support may be possible sooner following an assessment.

    The first step is usually a conversation about your situation, followed by a care assessment and a personalised care plan. This helps make sure the right support is in place from the start.
