Home care in Halifax to suit you

Our amazing team of carers have been providing person-centred care to thousands of individuals in their own homes for over 35 years. Whether you are struggling with your mobility and would like some support when you go out into the community, or you are living with a complex condition and you require more intensive support throughout the day, home care can make a real difference to your quality of life and wellbeing.

Whether you need 30-minute drop-ins to help you around the house or more regular support throughout the day and night, we’ll work with you to provide a personalised care plan that gives you the support you need to feel safe and independent at home. With dedicated home care in Halifax that is unobtrusive and bespoke to your needs, we’ll pop in whenever you need us so that you feel fully supported with no compromise to your independence.

We understand that care needs can often be unpredictable, so if your care needs change or your symptoms develop, we’ll ensure that your care plan is always flexible so that we can quickly adapt to your needs as and when they change. What’s more, we’ll always work collaboratively with you and your loved ones so that the control of your care is always exactly where it should be – in your hands.

More personalised than a care agency

Traditional home care agencies often require their carers to be self-employed and demand introductory fees from their customers to match you with the carer in question. Helping Hands is not an agency, and therefore all our carers are directly employed by us, meaning neither of you has to worry about employment legalities or ‘finder’s fees’. We take care of everything, meaning that your carer can just focus on the important thing: taking care of you.

Round-the-clock support with live-in care Halifax

If you need more intensive support that requires round-the-clock care but the idea of moving into a residential or nursing home is unnerving for you, live-in care in Halifax could be the perfect solution for you.

With you at the fore, we’ll work closely with you and your loved ones to provide a bespoke live-in care plan that offers unintrusive, constant support so that you always have someone to call on. What’s more, we’ll work with you to handpick a carer that is compatible with your personality, hobbies and interests, so you will always have someone that you can call a friend.

Private care for your peace of mind

If we become more dependent, that doesn’t mean that you should have to forego your complete independence if you need a little extra help. With private care from the team, we’ll give you as much or as little support as you need to feel safe and independent at home.

Whether you live alone, as a couple or with a four-legged friend, we’ll work with you and your loved ones to establish your way of life so that we can fit your care around your needs and preferences.

Fully-trained carers to support you in Halifax

Helping Hands was founded by Mary Lee in 1989, and since then, we have been training each of our carers to ensure that they provide only the very best care for every one of the families we look after. But perhaps most importantly, each of our carers is only able to achieve this high standard because of their passion, empathy and willingness to go above and beyond – all of which are qualities that are pivotal to becoming a part of our team.

Before going out into the field, each of our private carers completes a comprehensive training course that covers a range of in-depth skills such as dementia care, safeguarding, moving and handling, mobility support and many more. And as the only home care provider to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, you can rest assured that you are in safe hands.

Fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), we always ensure that our service is responsive, safe and effective, and always adhering to strict CQC regulations. Being audited by an independent association ensures that we always deliver on our promise – to provide outstanding, person-centred care to every one of our customers.

FAQs

Home care in Halifax 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 Halifax 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 Halifax.

Home care in Halifax 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.
