Visiting care and home care in Holsworthy

Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Haldeword and sitting on the border between Devon and neighbouring Cornwall, Holsworthy has a long history that has seen it pass into the hands of many different families over the centuries, before falling under the control of the local district council in 1932. The past sits neatly with the future in Holsworthy though, with the town being home to the only centralised anaerobic digestion facility in the UK, which will hopefully be able to provide low-cost heat to residents in due course. Just as Helping Hands has a long history, we also have one eye on the future to ensure that our superb visiting and live-in care across Devon is always at the forefront of industry developments. And because all of our care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you and your loved ones will always be reassured by the high standards we adhere to.

    High quality home care in Holsworthy

    When you are living with a condition that means you find it harder to manage at home, or you’d just appreciate some companionship after the loss of a precious partner, support from Helping Hands can make all the difference to your daily routine. We can be with you from an hour or two a week, perhaps to accompany you grocery shopping, help you to hospital appointments, or just to have a cuppa and a chat, right up to supporting you day and night.

    24/7 live in care support

    Live-in care means you’ll never have to worry that you’re on your own at home, even if you need support around the clock. Because you’ll have someone living with you, your loved ones will also be fully reassured that your needs will always be attended to without delay. We understand that having someone living in your home is a big step, however we carefully match your carer to your personality and interests so that you’ll always have something in common and will quickly become friends.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Holsworthy

    We’ve never been a care agency and never will be! We recognise the need that care agencies fill, however we offer a fully bespoke service that encompasses every aspect of your care and support needs. We recruit, assess, and employ our carers directly so that they have the reassurance of a full contract and every benefit that entails, whereas care agencies simply match you with someone and then leave you to manage your care yourself.

    Our carers are outstanding, which is what we demand of everyone who works for us. We look for personal qualities of compassion and kindness when we source our carers, not people who just see it as a job. We know our carers go above and beyond for their customers every single day, and because they are so dedicated, we look after them too, offering opportunities for development, qualifications, and progression routes whenever possible.

    FAQs

    Home care in Holsworthy 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.

    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 Holsworthy 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 Holsworthy.

    Home care in Holsworthy 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.
