    Home care in Hammersmith from Helping Hands

    For care that’s centred around you and that works with your existing routines and timetable, home care in Hammersmith is designed to fit in with your life and preferences and allows you to stay within the comfort of your own home. Helping you with everything from personal care, taking medication and your mobility, to a spot of cleaning, cooking and general companionship – we cover all aspects of both practical and emotional support so that you feel safe and content in familiar surroundings.

    With flexible options that can be altered to fit in with your changing needs, we can add extra support in at any time, particularly if you have a spell in hospital or you’re struggling to keep up with the housework. We’ll also make sure that we keep to a pool of the same carers, so that you can get to know them and feel comfortable with them – especially if you are receiving support with personal care.

    Live in care for 24/7 support

    If you have a more advanced condition or require 24-hour support, live-in care in Hammersmith is a great way to receive the highest quality of one-to-one care without having the upheaval of leaving your home.

    To ensure that you are matched with a carer that you can fully trust and get along with, we’ll work alongside you to find someone that shares similar interests with you, as well as having experience in your particular care needs. We’ll also make sure that we create a detailed support plan that outlines all of your preferences, wishes and things that you need assistance with, so that both your care and emotional needs are taken into account.

    After all, care is so much more than the practicalities; it’s about supporting you emotionally too. So, if you are worried about your canine companion not getting its daily walk or you want to go and watch your favourite comedian at the Hammersmith Apollo, your carer can help out with these things too, as well as the practical elements of your care.

    Individually tailored dementia care

    When there’s a dementia diagnosis in your family, it can be difficult for all of you in different ways. Your loved one may be confused about what’s happening and you may be struggling with getting to grips with the changes that will happen in the next few months and years. As dementia experts, we can help with providing specialist dementia care to your loved one and supporting you and your family too.

    We’ll make sure that all of their routines are left untouched so that they can relax at home, whilst also providing tailored care to their specific needs – whether that’s just popping in to check on them or intensive support with personal care and getting in and out of bed.

    Why Helping Hands are better than a care agency in Hammersmith

    As well as ensuring that all of our carers are empathetic and compassionate, we insist that they all complete a thorough training programme that gives them the skills and knowledge they need to provide only the very best home care. Training modules include moving and handling, personal care, dementia, first aid and safeguarding, and all of our carers are required to complete regular refresher courses to ensure that they’re delivering the latest and safest care practices.

    We are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which means that the care we deliver is fully regulated by the care industry’s governing body. In addition to this, we are closely aligned by the Dementia Action Alliance, who work with us to ensure we are providing the most up-to-date care for those living with dementia.

    FAQs

    Home care in Hammersmith 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 Hammersmith 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.

    es. 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 Hammersmith.

    Home care in Hammersmith 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.
