Visiting care and home care in Lewes

Helping Hands have established ourselves in Lewes, offering visiting care and live-in care to our customers. We have been supporting people to live comfortably and independently since 1989 providing extra reassurance for our customers and their loved ones.

Famous for being the largest November the fifth celebration in the world, Lewes Bonfire Night draws crowds of 80,000 spectators each year and has up to 5,000 participants. At the other end of the historic spectrum is the annual pea throwing championship, so there really is something for everyone in this hilly, but pretty Sussex town.

Home care in Lewes

Home care from Helping Hands can be as often or infrequent as your needs dictate, and with visits starting from just 30 minutes a week, you can be sure we can support you regardless of your condition. Our carers are compassionate and professional and will be able to support you with housework, laundry, personal care, meal preparation, mobility support, medication administration and much more.

Better than a care agency in Lewes

Traditional home care agencies often require their carers to be self-employed and demand introductory fees from their customers to match you with the carer in question. Helping Hands is not an agency and therefore all our carers are directly employed by us, meaning neither of you have to worry about employment legalities or ‘finder’s fees’. We take care of everything, meaning that your carer can just focus on the important thing: taking care of you.

Live-in care in Lewes to support you

Live-in care in Lewes means you still get the high standards of care that you’d receive from our visiting service, yet your carer lives in your home with you. This provides around the clock companionship as well as care and ensures that you are never alone in your home. They will be discreet and never get under your feet, getting on with tasks throughout the day, giving you plenty of time for solitude or keeping you company as much as you wish.

Private care Lewes

Helping Hands are a private care provider, which means that – unlike care agencies – we employ our carers directly and won’t expect our customers to handle mountains of stressful, time-consuming paperwork. We think this is an important policy, because it gives our carers more time and energy to devote to providing you with the best possible care, as well as making your care journey much more straightforward. From your first contact with our wonderful care team in Lewes, we’ll put you at the centre of your care experience.

Dementia care in Lewes

When living with dementia it can be important to discuss future support needs early. This is because when you eventually do need care, you may have less ability to actively discuss how you would like to be looked after. Dementia care from Helping Hands means that you will be cared for by a company considered dementia specialists in the industry. This is because we’ve been caring for people living with dementia since we were established in 1989.

Elderly care in Lewes

As we age, we often slow down, and tasks that we used to complete with ease become more difficult. Elderly care means that one of our carers will help you with the necessities of running your home or helping you to attend appointments or activities in the community. We can be there for everything that will help to make your day-to-day life that bit easier. Whether housework or personal care, our carers can support you in any way you need.

Our carers are at the very heart of our business and we’re sure you’ll agree once you get to know them. Our in-house training programme and regular refresher courses ensures confident, motivated carers who feel valued in their work. This leads to satisfied customers who look forward to seeing their carer’s smiling face every morning.

FAQs

Home care in Lewes 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 Lewes 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 Lewes.

Home care in Lewes 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.
