At Helping Hands, we’ve got over 30 years’ experience in helping people to remain independent and confident at home through our holistic, person-centred home care. One of the care services that we offer is respite care, which is short-term care for those times when you suddenly find yourself in need of extra support around the home. Our fantastic Hitchin care team are on standby to provide you with bespoke respite care when you need it most – whether you just need a few hours of visiting care each week, or round-the-clock support from our live-in care services.
We appreciate that it isn’t always possible to know when you might require additional support at home. That’s why we offer respite care, which gives our customers the opportunity to access our exceptional home care at very short notice. Perhaps you’ve been discharged from hospital earlier than anticipated, or you’ve got a regular carer who’s unexpectedly made themselves unavailable. Whatever your reason for requiring care in a pinch, we’re normally able to have one of our superb carers with you in your home within 24 hours of your initial phone call, meaning you won’t be left stressing about whether the housework will get done.
When you choose Helping Hands for respite care, you’ll receive a care plan that is completely tailored to your particular needs and preferences. We know that your condition and circumstances will be unique to you, and you’ll like things to be done in a certain way around your home. That’s why our care experts in Hitchin will always take the time to evaluate your requirements and wishes and will offer you a package of care that fully supports you in the areas you most need help. And, if you have a regular carer for whom you need us to provide cover, we’ll do our very best to make sure we’re doing things in the way you’re used to.
We’re extremely proud of our fantastic respite carers in Hitchin – they really are our most valuable asset. All of our carers have been specifically chosen for their compassionate, loving approach to their care, and have undergone extensive background checks to ensure they’re the sort of person you’d be happy to have in your home. We provider every carer with our award-winning training when they start with us, as well as enrolling them in regular refresher courses which keep them up to date with the latest care industry standards and best practices. We’re also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, so you can have complete confidence in our commitment to the very highest standards of care across the board.
