Respite Care in Melksham

Respite care is perfect for someone who has just been discharged from hospital or has perhaps had an accident. Maybe you need a bit of a hand to get back on your feet and need some temporary care to do so. Our carers are superb at handling any situation, so don’t fret. We know how busy life gets too, and perhaps your primary caregiver just needs a break. We can fill in for them for as little or as long as you need, creating a tailored care programme to whatever it is you need. We can help with mobility support and light medical support including catheter care, PEG feeding and administering medication. Or if you just need someone to help you bake your Victoria Sponge, we can do that too!

Our carers are expertly trained to handle a variety of conditions. From dementia, stroke and cancer care, to elderly and palliative care, we’ve got it covered. We’ll work hard to understand your unique needs and your condition. It isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ process, so we want to get to know you. Our friendly carers can help with creating a domiciliary routine for your discreet needs like getting dressed and toileting. Even if it’s just a matter of needing someone to run to the shops in Melksham to get your daily TV Guide, we’re happy to help.

Qualified in more complex conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, we are handy to have around. If you need some temporary emergency care right away, we can be at your door within 24 hours. We also offer bespoke nursing care for those who may require a more experienced medical approach. One thing all our carers have in common is their compassion and genuine love of helping others. That’s why at Helping Hands we don’t only offer a trained professional to care for you, but a beloved companion. So, fingers crossed, you may have a new best friend to take to Melksham’s annual ‘Party in the Park!’
