Our New Milton home care team specialise in home care and offers two main types of care – visiting care and live-in care. Visiting care involves qualified carers visiting your loved one at home to assist with a variety of daily activities. This service is fully flexible and will be tailored to the needs of your loved one. This means that visits can be arranged from as little as 30 minutes a week to multiple visits a day.
On the other hand, live-in care is designed to provide your loved one with full-time care. A specialist carer will move into your loved one’s home and provide dedicated round-the-clock support. This will give you complete peace of mind knowing that your loved one is receiving the quality support that they need. Here are some of the other home care services being offered in New Milton:
Respite care
Taking care of a loved one who is no longer able to care for themselves is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Many people in the UK care for someone in some capacity. This may involve minor assistance with certain tasks to full-time care. If you are caring for someone, then it’s important to acknowledge that caregiving can be demanding and draining. Everyone needs some time for themselves and caregivers should take regular breaks to unwind and recharge. This is where our respite care services come in. One of our dedicated carers can step in to relieve you of your caregiving duties temporarily. You can use this free time to run errands, go away on holiday, or catch up with other family members and friends. Respite care means that you can enjoy some time to yourself while knowing that your loved one is receiving the care and support they need while you’re away.
Elderly care
It is normal for elderly people to require some extra support as they get older. You may notice that an elderly family member is struggling with certain tasks such as household chores or preparing meals. In these circumstances, a professional carer can be brought in to provide the support your loved one needs to remain living safely at home. Elderly care services are an excellent alternative to residential care homes. Having regular visiting care allows elderly people to maintain their independence and remain living at home for much longer. Another advantage of home care is that it can provide an elderly person with a valuable source of companionship. Carers will be carefully matched to your loved one based on their interests and preferences to ensure that they find it easy to build rapport.
Dementia care
Dementia is a health condition that affects around 850,000 people in the UK. So, if your loved one has been diagnosed with the condition, then it’s important to know that you’re not alone. As one of the UK’s leading dementia care providers, our team of specialists have over 30 years of experience supporting people with dementia. Helping Hands is also part of the Dementia Action Alliance. This shows our commitment to providing the highest standards of dementia care and improving the lives of those with the condition.
All personal care services are provided by our Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered office Helping Hands Dorset. As a family-run company, we take a personal approach and treat every customer as an individual with their own unique care needs. We will take the time to get to know your loved one and create a personalised care plan that best matches their needs.
