Visiting care and home care in Northampton

The birthplace of many celebrities including the actor Rowan Atkinson, radio DJ Jo Whiley, and England footballer Les Ferdinand, Northampton is a home for many British heritages. Not only is it the residence of the world-famous Silverstone circuit track and Althorp House - the final resting place of Princess Diana - but it is also home to a team of dedicated Helping Hands carers.

From as little as 30 minutes per week to regular visits each day and around the clock live-in care, our home care team in Northampton is on hand to deliver the support your loved one needs to continue living independently.

Live-in care to support you in Northampton

With live-in care in Northampton, you receive round-the-clock support to ensure that you can continue to feel safe in your home. Whether you’re living with a progressive condition, recovering from a life-changing illness or injury or you simply need a helping hand to get you through the day, our team are here to provide you with a tailored home care package to give you the support you need, whenever you need it.

The great thing about live-in care is that you have the freedom to choose how to live your life. There are no visiting restrictions, no set mealtimes or menus and no daily schedules to abide by; the only person who decides what you do with your day is you. What’s more, you won’t just receive a carer that supports you practically – your mental wellbeing is important to us too. So, whether you like to complete crossword puzzles in your living room or take a walk around Pitsford Reservoir, you won’t just have a carer to support you there – you’ll have a friend to enjoy it with.

Private care in Northampton

With private care from Helping Hands, you are always at the centre of your own care journey. You’ll notice from the first minute you contact us how friendly and professional our customer care team is, and they’ll be able to advise you about every aspect of our care services so you can choose the package that’s right for you. Your bespoke support plan will detail every aspect of your preferences and routines and our dedicated carers will ensure that your care is always delivered just as you want it to be. Whether you choose visiting or live-in care, our fully managed service will always be of the highest standard, and thanks to the one-to-one attention from your carer, you’ll discover that remaining at home for every aspect of your care needs is the best place to be.

Better than a care agency in Northampton

When you choose care from Helping Hands, you’ll be partnering with a private care provider, rather than a care agency. This matters because the majority of care agencies don’t fully support their carers – for instance, they won’t directly employ them or prioritise their wellbeing. At Helping Hands, we always make sure our carers are fully trained and always well looked after. Care agencies are also often unaccountable to regulators, meaning you can never be completely assured that you’ll receive the level of care you require.

We employ our carers directly, provide them with award-winning training as well as regular refresher courses, and ensure they’re always mentally and physically prepared to provide you with exceptional care.

Domiciliary care in Northampton

Otherwise known as care at home, domiciliary care from our Northampton team gives you and your family the peace of mind that you have the support you need in the comfort of your own home. When the need arises for more intensive support, residential care isn’t always everybody’s first option, which is why domiciliary care from our team is the ideal solution to ensuring that you have the care you need without having to leave the place you feel most comfortable.

With you at the heart of our service, we will work closely with you and your loved ones to ensure that the care you receive is built entirely around your needs. Whether you need 30 minutes a day or regular overnight stays, you have the freedom to decide the frequency and intensity of your care to ensure that you have everything you need to bring peace of mind to you and your loved ones.

Specialist dementia care and support for you and your loved ones

We understand that the time following a dementia diagnosis can bring lots of anxieties and uncertainties. With hundreds of different variants of dementia, learning to understand the condition while coming to terms with either your or your loved one’s diagnosis can be unnerving for all involved. That’s why our team are here to inform, advise and support you through every step of your dementia journey.

As one of the leading dementia care specialists in the UK, our carers are here to help you to understand the situation surrounding you and your family, as well as offering guidance on support on how you can continue to communicate and enjoy your time together. With specialist care from our Northampton team, it’s so much more than just practical support; we help you to remember the person underneath the dementia.

Elderly care to retain your independence

As we grow older, we can begin to find more difficulty in our day-to-day tasks than we used to. Whether it’s sorting the laundry, preparing your meals or helping you with getting out and about into the local community – sometimes a helping hand is all you need.

With compassionate, person-centred elderly care from the team, we’ll ensure that you have the support you need so that you can continue to live your life with minimal disruption.

Respite care for as long as you need it

We understand that care needs can often be unpredictable. Sometimes the need for care can arise so quickly that finding an alternative seems almost impossible – but with respite care from our Northampton team, we can often put a bespoke care package in place within 24 hours of your initial enquiry.

Whether your usual caregiver is going on holiday, you’re recovering from an unexpected illness or injury or you’re due to be discharged from hospital and don’t feel confident on your own just yet; the team are here to give you the support you need, for as long as you need it.
