Home care in Margate

No matter how often or infrequent you require our visiting care, we can support you with anything and everything. You might want a short visit once a week to have a cup of tea and a chat, a walk round the block or to help you bake your favourite cake. Alternatively, you may need several longer visits a day to ensure that your condition is fully supported. Regardless of your needs, we can help you with personal care, meal preparation, medication, mobility and so much more, so talk to us today and let us know how we could support you.

Live-in care means that you’ll have one of our carers living in your home with you around the clock. This can be very reassuring for both you and your loved ones, especially if they live some distance away from you and know you don’t like being in the house on your own. Your private carer will support you with every aspect of your daily life such as medication, personal care and housework, enabling you to enjoy your life in the place you love most.

We are not an agency, which means when we quote you a price for your care it will be the entire price, there won’t be any retainer fees or referral costs that you weren’t expecting. Our carers are highly motivated and feel valued as they are directly employed, not worrying about filling in their own tax and contributions when all they should be thinking about is your wellbeing. Talk to us today to learn how we could be supporting you at home.

Helping Hands has been a dementia specialist company for more than three decades, so even if you don’t need dementia care right away when you’re diagnosed, it’s helpful to know that as your condition progresses and the time is right for some extra support, you can stay in the place you love most. Being surrounded by the precious memories and people who will help you to live your best life possible can be highly beneficial on your dementia journey, helping to reduce anxiety and confusion and reassuring your loved ones that you’re in specialist hands.

When your regular carer needs to take a break, you may be worrying about what you can do to ensure your continuity of care, but there’s no need. Respite care from Helping Hands can be for a few days or a few weeks and we will design your bespoke care package exactly to your requirements. Your personalised support plan will ensure your care continues as if your regular carer was still with you and in the case of an emergency, we can even get care to you within 24 hours.

Age-related frailties can mean that the things you used to take for granted, such as carrying the vacuum upstairs or going for a walk have become more difficult recently. We can support you around the house and outside of it if you feel you’d benefit from some elderly care and our compassionate carers can make a real difference to your daily life. You might appreciate some help with personal care, meal preparation, mobility support or going to community activities or medical appointments. Call us today to discover how we could be supporting you to live your best life at home.
