    Hastings live-in care

    Live-in care is a cost-effective alternative to residential care, with the added advantage of you being able to remain in the home you love. If you have complex care needs or perhaps would just like around the clock companionship, our dedicated live-in carers will be able to care for your every need, including personal care, meal preparation, housework, laundry and so much more. However we can help, our bespoke care packages are tailored around you.

    Better than a care agency in Hastings

    Being a fully managed care company and not a care agency, means that at Helping Hands we really understand care. We provide outstanding, person-centred care to people across the whole of England and Wales, and our carers regularly go above and beyond to ensure their customers get to live their best life possible in the home they love. We look after our carers too though, as by employing them directly and supporting them continuously we ensure their high levels of motivation.

    Emergency care

    Needing care in an emergency can be a highly stressful time, for both you and your loved ones. Contacting different companies and trying to discover who can support you at short notice will be stressful for anyone, but especially when you have limited time to arrange everything. Fortunately, Helping Hands have been caring for customers in their own homes since 1989, often at very short notice, due to an unexpected hospital discharge or a regular carer who has to leave suddenly.

    Private care in Hastings

    More and more people want to stay in the home they love for as long as they can these days. Often this is because in a residential home, you’ll never receive one-to-one care, simply because the staff ratios cannot be that high. However, if you have care at home, you’ll have dedicated support from a carer that will be totally built around you and your needs. And what’s more, your personalised support plan will ensure you always remain at the centre of your care journey, every single day.

    Overnight care

    With overnight care from Helping Hands, you are always in control of the service you receive, whether you need occasional visits or full-time live-in support. Your bespoke care plan will ensure that your routine and care needs are always at the forefront of your carer’s delivery. So, if you struggle to sleep at night and would appreciate companionship, or you need around the clock support due to a complex condition, we can help.

    Fully-trained carers in Hastings

    We train our carers thoroughly to ensure that when they join us, they are ready to fully support their customers’ needs. We also screen our carers through the Disclosure and Barring Service to ensure that only people who should be entering your home are doing so. Also, because we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you can have the highest confidence in our expert levels of service and our ability to comprehensively care for you or your loved ones.

    FAQs

    Home care in Hastings 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 Hastings 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 Hastings.

    Home care in Hastings 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.
