When your existing carer is in need of a break or you are being discharged from hospital you may need some temporary support to tide you over. Helping Hands offer respite care at home in Lytham St Annes from a few days to a few weeks, just until your routine can return to normal. Whether you are cared for by family members or a professional, they’ll all need to take some time away to make sure their physical and mental health remains strong, otherwise they can ‘burn out’ and you will be left without them for much longer. By accepting respite support you are showing how much you value their wellbeing and because all of our support is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, you’ll be in superb hands with Helping Hands.
You may be already receiving care at home from an outside organisation but their carers will need to have some time off regularly. Or your family may be supporting you so that you can remain in your own home and not move into residential care. You don’t have to leave your home for temporary support either, as Helping Hands will come to you on either a visiting or live-in care basis and continue your routine seamlessly.
We only deliver person-centred care in our customers’ own homes, we don’t run care homes and we don’t operate franchises. This is how we can concentrate solely on providing the highest quality home care across England and Wales, tailored to our customers’ wants and requirements. We listen to you and plan your care in conjunction with you, meaning you remain in control of your life and the support you receive. Our carers will help you to live as comfortably as possible, supporting your routine both inside and outside the house, meaning you still get to enjoy all the delights that Lytham offers.
Our carers are incredible at what they do but that’s because they care about other people from the heart. That’s the sort of natural quality we insist upon from all of our carers as we want to be sure they’re looking after you to the best of their ability. Whether we’re caring for you over a few days or a few years we still apply the same principles to your support, keeping you comfortable, safe, and entertained in the home you love. This means that when your regular carer returns, or when you’re recovered enough to manage independently again, you’ll always remember the compassionate care you received from Helping Hands.
Having all of your questions answered is an important part of being comfortable receiving care from someone new, which us why we have a customer care team ready to speak to you, seven days a week. You can chat to them online or over the phone and they’ll arrange for your local Lytham care team to visit. You can also go to them directly if you’d prefer, and you can find their contact details here.
