Home care Luton

With over 30 years’ experience in the home care industry, we understand what it takes to provide person-centred care without compromising your independence. The team will adapt around your preferences and requirements – whether that’s popping in once a week to help you keep your house clean or calling several times a day to help administer your medication and make a cup of tea.

Offering care for a variety of conditions such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and complex neurological and spinal injuries – our expert carers look after anyone from age 18 all the way up to 100 and beyond. Delivering care in a flexible, efficient and friendly manner, the team will cater to you and tailor your package of care to suit you.

And being a carer doesn’t just mean looking after your practical needs; care from Helping Hands also accommodates your mental wellbeing too. So, if you have a passion for animals and want to take a trip to Whipsnade Zoo, then we’ll accompany you and make sure you have an amazing day out spotting lions, tigers and giraffes.

Live-in care that provides peace of mind

When you’re considering your care options, it can be quite a daunting prospect, especially if you don’t want to leave your home. And with live-in care from Helping Hands, you don’t have to. We can arrange for a live-in carer to be there for you when you need it most – whether you’re a young person living with an acquired brain injury or in your senior years living with advanced Alzheimer’s.

The great thing about live-in care is that we’ll work with you to decide on the perfect carer for you. If you’re a retired seamstress or tailor, then we’ll do our best to find someone who’s worked in the fashion industry or has a love for clothes.

As well as having someone on hand round-the-clock, live-in care also allows you to keep your existing routines with your social circles, family and life choices. If you need extra support to attend a family celebration or go on a shopping trip to The Mall in Luton, we’ll be there every step of the way.

Better than a care agency in Luton

Helping Hands are a private home care provider, rather than a care agency. This means that we employ our carers directly, allowing them to use their time and energy by giving you the very best possible care in your home. Often, care agencies will ask you to handle payments to your carer, and will give you care plans that involve a number of unexpected fees and costs. We’re completely transparent about all of our prices and what our live-in care service entails, and we won’t burden you with mountains of paperwork or confusing admin. We want your care journey to be as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

Domiciliary care that allows you to retain your independence

Domiciliary care puts you back in control of your care in the comfort of your own surroundings, without having to adhere to strict timetables. Even if it’s just an extra pair of hands to help you plant new seedlings in the spring or assistance getting to and from the shops – domiciliary care is tailored entirely around you.

Seeing a familiar face every day or once a week can really help with your emotional wellbeing and can also be a great source of companionship. With visits starting from as little as 30 minutes per week, we’ll meet with you to arrange a care plan perfectly suited to you.

Specialist dementia care

Dementia presents itself in a variety of different ways and as a dementia care specialist, we’re equipped to help you deal with this unsettling condition – whether that’s Pick’s disease, frontotemporal dementia or Alzheimer’s. As well as supporting you with the challenging symptoms and changes in behaviour that can accompany some types of the condition, we’ll also be there for you and your family, providing reassurance and professional care.

Being diagnosed with dementia doesn’t mean that you have to give up all that is dear to you, including the home that you have lived in and loved for years. Home care allows you to stay in familiar surroundings whilst receiving care that it built entirely around you.

Respite care for short-term breaks

Being a full-time carer is a huge commitment and when you need a break from time-to-time, you can rest assured that we will provide excellent respite care for your loved one. Before you take time for some well-earned rest and recuperation, we’ll work with both of you to ensure everything fits in with your current care routines.

We understand how quickly care needs can sometimes arise, particularly if your regular carer needs to tend to an emergency or you’re being discharged from hospital and need extra support at home. The team will aim to swiftly provide care that caters for all of your needs – sometimes within 24 hours of your initial enquiry. We pride ourselves on being able to put high quality care into place that suits you, that won’t intrude, encroach or meddle with your existing routine.

FAQs

Home care in Luton 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 Luton depends on the type and amount of support you need. Helping Hands’ visiting care prices start from £32.40 per hour, with visits available from 30 minutes, and live-in care starts from £1,675 per week for one person, based on the supplied pricing. 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 figures supplied for comparison suggest 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 Luton.

Home care in Luton 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.
