Respite Care in Hailsham

If you need temporary support to get you back to full health then our care services will ensure you have everything you need. You’ll always remain at the centre of your care journey with Helping Hands, while we preserve your dignity and safeguard your wellbeing. Your family may normally be your carers or perhaps you already have a professional carer, but it’s vital those who support you get to take time off too. It won’t just keep them physically able to take care of you but it’ll also benefit their mental wellbeing too. Whether you choose visiting or live-in care, we’re tailor it just to you.

Your package of care is designed totally around you. We’ll ensure that your care includes everything that you need to live life as independently as possible for as long as you need us. Our care is flexible enough to change as your needs do; perhaps you want someone to live in at first but then as you manage more you’ll want to reduce our support. We will work with you to help you recover your previous way of life, supporting any therapy you have and working with your wider healthcare team where appropriate. You’ll also have a support plan that will detail everything so that your carers are always up to date on how you wish to be supported. We can help you with every aspect of your daily routine, both inside and outside of the house, meaning you get to live as you wish, with expert support on hand.

Our carers are amazing – we consider them the very heart of Helping Hands and value them as much as our customers do. We are very particular about the people who join us, recruiting the very best carers who are dedicated to supporting others. We assess them carefully and equip them with all of the practical skills they need to care, although the emotional skills we expect them to possess naturally. We pay above industry standards, offer opportunities to progress, and provide qualifications for those who wish to take them. We also take your safety very seriously which is why we screen through the DBS and check their backgrounds carefully before they’re allowed into your home.
