Home care in Guildford to suit your routine

Home care from one of our local carers based in Guildford can be ideal if you need some additional support. You might be recovering from an operation or need some help with getting around the house.

Whether you just need someone to pop in first thing in the morning to help you out of bed or extra support going about your daily routine, our visiting carers can assist with:

Personal care- making sure you’re comfortable and respecting your privacy

Medication management- reminding you to take any tablets you need and helping with swallowing

Complex care- managing catheters and stomas, and helping with transfers or mobility aids.

Because your home is also your private space, our carers will also ensure that it is kept in pristine condition by carrying out light household duties. We’ll even help to take care of any pets you have – after all, they’re part of the family as well!

Over time, you might find that you need care on a more regular basis or help during the night. Or, you might have a relative who is at risk of falls and you want someone to be there to make sure they’re safe.

Live-in care in Guildford also allows you to have a supportive companion to help you get around your local community. And if you have a particular hobby or interest, or just want to spend an afternoon with loved ones, your live-in carer will take care of everything for you.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Guildford

At Helping Hands we’ve spent over 30 years caring for our customers at home, so you can be reassured that we’re experts in what we do. Our Guildford carers are also so dedicated to their customers and part of that is because we only select the best people to come and work for us.

We have such high standards because we’re not a traditional care agency and we never have been – we were founded as a private home care company in 1989 and have remained so ever since.

Over the decades we’ve cared for thousands of people who wanted to remain in the home they love rather than go into residential care, and because we employ our carers directly and offer such good pay, conditions and perks, you get highly motivated carers coming to your home who ensure you get to live your best life possible there. We always want our carers to feel valued for the amazing work they do, and this recognition is reflected in the excellent care they deliver to our customers every day.

FAQs

Home care in Guildford 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 Guildford depends on the type and amount of support you need. Helping Hands’ visiting care prices start from £32.40 per hour, with visits available from 30 minutes, and live-in care starts from £1,675 per week for one person, based on the supplied pricing. 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 figures supplied for comparison suggest 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 Guildford.

Home care in Guildford 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.
