Palliative Care in Norfolk

Palliative care is the time between when you’re diagnosed and when you reach the end of your life, which for some people can be years, but is different for everyone depending on their circumstances. If you have been diagnosed with a life-limiting condition you may be embarking on a course of therapies that will keep you living well for as long as possible, as well as surgery or medication, where necessary. These therapies may leave you less able to manage your daily routine as you once could, so members of our visiting care and live-in care teams can come to your home and help you with everything from your meal preparation to your personal care.

We treat every one of our customers as an individual – we never have and never will consider a policy of ‘one size fits all’ at Helping Hands. We pride ourselves on the bespoke packages of care we offer, designing each one to the customer’s own routines and preferences, and ensuring that every detail is entered into their support plan. This means that their carer always has all the information they need to expertly care for the person. We aren’t the cheapest option, but we feel Helping Hands represents excellent value for money when you compare it to the cost of a care home; plus, this way you get to remain living in the home you love at the heart of your own community. There really isn’t a price that can be put on peace of mind like that.

We consider our carers as the very heart of Helping Hands; they go above and beyond every single day to ensure our customers live as well as possible. You don’t get exceptional support like that everywhere, but especially when you’re on a palliative care journey you need to be confident that the people taking care of you understand your condition and how best they can help you. We choose people carefully to join us, and then equip them with the skills they’ll need to deliver superlative care. They’ll be by your side at home, but also out in the local community and further afield if you wish. You deserve to enjoy your time – and with Helping Hands we’ll help you make the most of every minute.
