Respite care in Newcastle

When should I choose respite care, and what can a carer help with?

Having respite care from Helping Hands means you’ll be supported by expert carers and managers who really know care and take pride in delivering it to the highest standards. Our carers can support every aspect of your care needs, including medication administration, mobility support, meal preparation, personal care, housework and much more. Our flexible care packages are easily updated if your needs change, so whether it’s visiting care during the day or night, or around-the-clock live-in care in Newcastle, you can be sure that we will support you fully and deliver the highest standards of care possible.

Respite care services tailored to you

We can offer two types of respite care: visiting care, which means you will have a carer come at pre-arranged times of the day or night and support you accordingly, or live-in, where your carer actually resides in your home with you. This means that you don’t just get your care needs met, you get around-the-clock companionship too.

The benefits of respite care at home

If you need someone with you for a short amount of time as an aid to your recovery, then respite care is the answer. A carer can be with you from the day you are discharged and support you for as long as you need, just to make sure your recovery goes smoothly. If you’re being discharged from the hospital and you are concerned that you won’t be able to manage, talk to the team in Newcastle to discover how they could be supporting you.

Our expert respite carers in Newcastle

Helping Hands have been supporting people across England and Wales to receive care in their own homes since 1989, so you can be confident when we say that we are the home care experts. Our carers are at the heart of our business, and we select them carefully; not everyone gets to be a Helping Hands carer. We train our carers carefully when they start with us, and we encourage them to develop their skills as their career develops, skills that can then be applied to the care they are giving their customers.

Choosing Helping Hands for respite care

If you need care in an emergency and your family members don’t live locally to you, it can be stressful trying to sort out suitable care provision. However, having respite care from Helping Hands means that a carer will be in your home the same day, whether you’re being discharged at short notice or your regular carer has had to leave in a hurry. Even if you have higher-level needs, our nurse-led care supported by our team of clinical nurses means that we can cater for every aspect of your care.
