Is your primary caregiver getting a bit tired? Are they going on holiday for two weeks and wondering who will take care of you while they’re gone? Or perhaps it’s all got a bit much right now and you just need an extra hand. Whatever the reason, Helping Hands can offer temporary respite care. From live-in care for as little as seven days to up to five weeks, we can provide a top-quality carer to help with any needs, including condition-led care such as dementia and elderly care. It may be a case of walking the dog or helping with the dishes. Or simply a companion to get out and about to the Marlborough markets with.
If life has become a bit too hard to handle lately and it’s all getting on top of you, it can be hard find someone to help. You may even feel hesistant in accepting that you need help, and continue struggling. With our respite care, we provide a short-term alternative to ongoing care that you may not need right now. Our bespoke respite care is tailored around you and your needs, no matter how little time you need us! Maybe you want to give your normal caregiver a bit of a break. Everyone needs one now and again, after all. With Helping Hands, you can do just that, and we can have a qualified carer from our home care in Marlborough team over within 24 hours if needs be!
Perhaps you’ve been unfortunate enough to have an accident or have just been discharged from hospital. You might just need an extra hand to help you get back on your feet. Our carers have a genuine passion for helping others. So, they will make sure to understand your needs and situation so they can help you as best as they can. They will help you stick to the routines you enjoy and your normal level of independence. They will even help walk your many dogs if their collars are starting to get a little tight. Looking after your pets is a major perk of the job after all.
Not only are our carers handpicked for their compassion, work ethic and wealth of experience, but they are also specially trained in handling specific conditions. This can range from dementia, stroke and cancer to palliative and emergency care. Our superb training makes our carers the top dogs in care. It helps that we’re also regulated by the Care Quality Commission, so we’re always kept up to scratch. If we don’t say so ourselves, they’re also great people with friendly, compassionate natures.
