Dementia care in Hexham
Hexham dementia support from Helping Hands
At Helping Hands, we’ve been providing dedicated, empathetic dementia care to customers in their own homes since 1989. In that time, we’ve helped people with many types of dementia to manage their symptoms and experience the best possible quality of life as they learn to live with their condition. As well as supporting the individual, we also believe it’s vital to help the wider family during what can often be an emotional time for everyone concerned. Our home care in Hexham team’s holistic care plans will provide you with all the support you need to make sure your condition is constantly being monitored and you’re never left feeling isolated.

When to choose dementia care
Dementia care from our expertly-trained dementia carers provides people with all types and at all stages of the condition with transformative, person-centred home care. Dementia care is an invaluable source of support that gives stability and peace of mind to all concerned after a diagnosis. Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed with dementia or have a loved one who is experiencing very complex symptoms, remaining at home for support allows you to stay in a familiar, reassuring environment where you’re aware of your surroundings and are able to see loved ones whenever you wish. It also gives you the ability to receive personalised, one-to-one support from carers who will quickly get to know the symptoms with which you’re most struggling and the areas of day-to-day life you’d really like help with.
Expert care tailored to your needs
At Helping Hands Hexham, we know that every person’s experience with dementia is completely unique. That’s why we don’t believe that a one-size-fits-all support plan is ever an appropriate approach to adopt. Rather, your local care manager will visit your loved one at home and take the time to get to know their needs and wishes, so that we can fully understand how we can best support them to continue living life on their own terms as much as possible. And, as their needs change and evolve, their carer can monitor their condition and circumstances and recommend appropriate adaptations to their support.
Qualified carers providing dementia care in Hexham
All of our carers providing dementia care in Hexham are expertly trained by dementia specialists, meaning you can have total confidence that a carer wearing a Helping Hands uniform is always trustworthy and reliable. We’re extremely selective about who we recruit to our care teams, only hiring candidates who share our company-wide values of kindness and compassion, as we believe it takes a truly special type of person to be a great carer. When they join Helping Hands, all new carers receive our comprehensive, four-day training, which includes in-depth modules on dementia, moving and handling, health and safety, and much more.
