Visiting care and home care in Harrow

Housing the University of Westminster School of Arts, Media and Communication, the London Borough of Harrow lies roughly 15 miles north of the capital. Famous for its public boys’ school attended by the likes of Lord Byron, Harrow is also home to a team of dedicated and experienced Helping Hands home carers. If you’re struggling with a condition or your health has begun to decline, we can help with hourly home care to aid you in your daily tasks, right up to full-time live-in care to provide 24-hour guidance.

Just a long ball away from Wembley Stadium, our Harrow carers are determined to substitute your inhibitions for inspiration. Starting with an evaluative initial assessment, our team proceed by matching you with the private carer best suited to your personality & interests, in order to provide a solution that assists you in retaining possession of your independence.

Home care Harrow - care to suit you

As an industry leader providing over 30 years’ experience in home care, we know exactly what it takes to provide high-quality home care. What’s more, we understand how important it is to feel safe, comfortable and enabled in your own home. That’s why the Harrow team build packages of care entirely around you.

With experience in supporting people living with dementia, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s, arthritis and many more conditions, we have the expertise and knowledge to provide person-centred care that takes heed of every single one of your care requirements. Even if it’s assistance in getting to and from medical appointments or help with dressing every day, we can arrange care calls for anything from 30-minute sessions to several daily visits.

As a viable alternative to residential care, domiciliary care allows you to be in control of your care without any restrictions. You may be recovering from a stroke and need support with getting in and out of bed, or you might just need help to keep your house clean and tidy; whatever we can help with, we will.

And with carers local to you in the borough of Harrow, we’ll even help you get out and about in the local community – whether that’s popping down to the local garden centre or spending the afternoon at St George’s Shopping Centre.

Live in care Harrow - here when you need support

For those that require more intensive support at home, a live-in care in Harrow is the ideal way to retain independence without having to compromise on living in familiar surroundings. As the name suggests, a live-in carer lives with you in your home, providing round-the-clock assistance as and when you need it.

As well as moving and handling, the team of carers are fully trained to help with:

The difference between Helping Hands and a care agency in Harrow

Helping Hands are a private care provider, rather than a care agency, which means that we employ our carers directly and are completely responsible for their pay and general wellbeing. Often care agencies will require you - the customer - to pay your carer directly, and will surprise you with unexpected fees, hidden costs and unwanted paperwork. With Helping Hands, we take all of the stressful, time-consuming admin off your hands, ensuring that both you and your carer will be properly looked after.

Our carers really do go above and beyond for all of our customers, regardless of their condition or additional needs. It’s no coincidence that we’ve stood out as one of the UK’s best home care providers since 1989, which is mainly down to our fantastic home carers.

With thorough background checks in place and only 2% of our applicants making the cut as a Helping Hands carer, we only employ the very best. What’s more, we employ all of our carers directly, taking the stress out of any additional paperwork that comes with carers that work for external agencies.

Each and every one of our carers go through a vigorous training programme including manual handling, dementia care, first aid, safeguarding and medication administration. However, one thing that we can’t teach them is how to be kind and compassionate; this natural quality is above all what we look for when employing our carers and we don’t settle for anything less.

Private care in Harrow

Caring for someone is one of the most rewarding jobs there is – we know, we’re experts! However, it can be quite tiring to do, particularly if you’re caring for a loved one. It’s vital that you take a break every now and then, and the team can provide the ideal solution so that you can get a bit of respite. They will meet with both you and your loved one to make sure everything is in place before they step in.

Private care can also be beneficial if you want to take a family holiday that allows you all to have a real break, with one of our home carers to accompany you for your entire stay. We can also be there for you if you’ve just been discharged from hospital and need extra support while you get back on your feet.
