Since our inception in 1989, Helping Hands have been delivering compassionate, CQC-regulated home care services across England and Wales. Over the years, we have supported thousands of individuals, allowing them to retain their preferred lifestyle and independence. We firmly believe that even a minimal amount of carefully tailored care, when offered with true empathy and kindness, can have a profoundly positive effect on a person’s physical and emotional health. One of the specialised care services we offer is respite care, which can be arranged from our home care North London team either through visiting care or as part of a live-in care arrangement, depending on your specific requirements.
Respite care provides short-term assistance, allowing you or a loved one to receive expert one-to-one care in the familiar environment of your own home, often at short notice. We understand that it’s not always possible to predict when extra support might be needed, so at Helping Hands in North London, we aim to have one of our dedicated carers with you within 48 hours of your initial enquiry. Whether your regular carer is taking some well-deserved time off, or you’re recovering from a medical setback, we’re here to ensure you won’t need to worry about who will look after you and your home in their absence.
One of the main benefits of receiving respite care in your own home is that you retain control over the specifics of your care plan. You may have developed routines with your usual carer that you’d prefer to maintain, or perhaps you’re managing a health condition with particular care needs. Our carers in North London will make it their priority to fully understand your personal preferences and needs, ensuring they deliver a care package that offers the right level of support. And, if your circumstances change, we’re always on hand to adjust your care plan so that you never feel unsupported or isolated.
Our carers in North London are renowned for going the extra mile to provide exceptional service, ensuring each customer receives the excellent care for which Helping Hands are known. We selectively recruit our carers based on their compassionate nature and dedication to making a genuine difference in people’s lives. Each carer undergoes comprehensive background checks to ensure they’ll be a great fit for both our team and for you. Once they join us, they enrol on our industry-leading training programme that prepares them to support people living with a wide range of needs. This initial training is then reinforced by regular ongoing training to keep their skills up to date with the latest care standards and practices.
If you’re considering arranging respite care, feel free to contact our friendly customer support team. They’re available every day of the week and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Alternatively, you can contact us through our website if you’d prefer to schedule a callback at a time that suits you.
