Home care in Kettering
Visiting care and home care in Kettering
Over the centuries, Kettering has been spelt in various different ways including Cytringan, Kyteringas and Keteiringan in the 10th century. The meaning of the name apparently suggests “the place (or territory) of Ketter’s people (or kinsfolk)” in Anglo-Saxon.
Our name is synonymous with ‘belonging’ too, as Helping Hands has cared for over 40,000 customers since 1989, helping them to stay in the place they love. Our live-in care service can give you care and companionship around the clock, whereas our visiting service is available from just 30 minutes a week, so no matter what your needs are, we can help.

Meet the Kettering care team

Branch Care Manager
It is my responsibility to oversee and set up care packages in the local area, and to ensure that our team is delivering the very best care at all times. This ensures that our customers remain safe and independent in their own homes. It is important to me and my team that we provide tailored care packages to suit our customer needs and develop a strong working relationship between our team and our customers. My passion for working in the industry began 14 years ago when my mum was diagnosed with Dementia at the age of 55. I have worked in the sector since 2009. I love to make a difference to our customers and carers. In my spare time I like to listen to music as this helps me to relax. I enjoy going away to my favourite place Cornwall.

Home dementia care
-
Being diagnosed with dementia can be difficult, not just for the person diagnosed but for their loved ones too. While you may not require dementia care straight away, as your condition progresses you may find that having some professional support will make a huge difference to your life at home. Remaining in familiar surroundings, the place you love, full of precious memories, can make a huge difference to your daily wellbeing and can help reduce confusion and anxiety in some cases, as can support from our dementia specialist carers.

Customised respite care support

If your regular carer needs to take a break and you or your loved ones are worrying about replacing them, there is an alternative to residential care. Respite care from Helping Hands will see our carers come to you on a visiting or live-in basis for as long as you need them, whether it’s three days or three weeks. Your carer will be able to undertake everything that your carer usually dies for you and you’ll have a personalised support plan that will ensure your routines are followed, meaning it will be as if your carer never left. We can also offer emergency care, within 24 hours where necessary.
