Qualified carers providing assisted living in Maidstone
Partnering with Helping Hands Maidstone for assisted living at home means you’ll benefit from one-to-one support from expertly-trained carers who have been directly recruited, vetted and trained by us – and that’s a guarantee. We’re extremely particular about who we hire to our care teams, only ever selecting candidates who clearly possess a naturally kind and compassionate outlook, and every new carer must undergo extensive background checks before joining the team.

When to consider assisted living
If you’re at a stage where you’re struggling to manage from day to day, you might benefit from the dedicated one-to-one support that assisted living at home offers. Assisted living isn’t reserved for people of a particular age – for instance, many of our customers are in their late teens and twenties. We can help anyone aged 18 and over to maintain their normal way of life through our person-centred support, however straightforward or complex your needs. It might be that you require round-the-clock assistance from a live-in carer, or maybe you’d simply benefit from having a visiting carer pop in a few times a week. Whatever your needs, we’ll be able to design a supported living plan that is perfectly suited to you.

How much does assisted living cost?
The cost of assisted living from Helping Hands will vary depending on your level of need. Our visiting care packages start from £31.00 per hour, whilst live-in care in Maidstone prices start at £1,675 per week for one person and £1,675 per week for a couple. Each care visit also incurs a £4.25 fee to cover your carer’s costs.
We know how important it is to you that your care is straightforward to arrange, sustainably affordable, and doesn’t come with any unwanted extras or additional costs. That’s why we’re completely transparent about the upfront costs involved in our industry-leading home care, and will never ever try to push you to sign up for any extra hours or services that you don’t want or need. Your local care manager in Maidstone will always be on hand to help you make any changes you wish to make to your support at a moment’s notice.
If you’d like to arrange assisted living at home in Maidstone, either for yourself or a loved one, please give our friendly customer support team a call today. They’re available to help seven days a week, and will always be happy to assist in any way you might need. Alternatively, you can contact us via our website if you’d rather request a callback at a time that better suits you.
