Helping Hands is the UK’s leading home care provider with over 150 branches across the UK and over 35 years of experience. We’re regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), so we’re always improving and reflecting on our service. We know how pretty Northumberland is, with rolling hills and the Northumberland National Park. We don’t want to see you move away from the place you love to access great healthcare. That’s why we’re passionate about bringing our personalised and bespoke home care in Northumberland right to your doorstep.
Respite care is a perfect choice to give your family a well-earned break. Perhaps they are looking to go on holiday for a week or two or maybe they have unfortunately come down ill. Whatever the reason, we can step in and take the reins, so you’re needs are always cared for. Our respite care can be from just 30 minutes a week for visiting care and from just seven days for live-in care. This can go up to five weeks and then progress onto ongoing care, so we’ve got you covered.
Our care is centred around you and whatever you need us for. If you’ve had a brief spell in hospital and need some help rehabilitating, we can help you get back on your feet. Whether you need our carers for extra support around the house, they are superb at general housekeeping, preparing healthy and delicious meals and running errands. They aim to be a lifeline to you in your time of need and can offer condition-led care which can help with dementia, cancer, stroke and much more.
Our carers are all DBS-checked and come with a bucketload of qualifications, training and experience. They genuinely have a love of what they do and are committed to helping you in your home. We know it can be daunting having a carer you don’t know step in, but rest assured they are all kind, compassionate people who can help with elderly care, disability care and personal care. We also try to handpick our carers to match your personality and interests, so you can benefit from their wonderful companionship.
If you feel you have more questions, then feel free to contact us over the phone or via our Live Chat on our website. It’s seven days a week, so we’re serious about being here for you. Or why not make a day of it and visit the nearby Hadrian’s Wall and pop into one of your nearest Helping Hands branches? Our friendly staff will be more than happy to discuss your options and how we can help you at home in Northumberland.
