At Helping Hands, we’re committed to ensuring every aspect of our care is as exceptional as you deserve, by providing a bespoke service that truly fits your needs and preferences. From your very first phone call to our friendly team, we’ll place you at the centre of every decision that’s taken regarding your care, so that you receive a service that’s completely tailored to you.

    24/7 live in care support

    With live-in care, you’ll benefit from having one of our wonderful carers come to live with you in your home and provide full-time, round-the-clock support. A live-in carer ensures you never have to worry about being all alone in a crisis, as you’ll have an expert carer alongside you to help out. It’s also a great option for loved ones who want peace of mind about their family member’s physical and mental well-being while they’re apart. A live-in carer can assist around the home in just about any way you need – from discreet personal care and mobility support, to doing the housework and picking up the weekly shopping.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Oswestry

    Helping Hands aren’t a care agency, but rather are a private care provider. This means that when you partner with us for home care, you can be confident of a number of assurances we can offer which you won’t get with most agencies. For instance, we employ every single one of our carers directly, rather than using third parties, so you know your carers will have been recruited, vetted and trained by us and are benefitting from being permanent employees of the UK’s most widely-trusted home care provider. Our passion for looking after people extends to all of our carers – we want to make sure they feel valued and recognised, and are empowered to support you as best as possible.

    Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Oswestry

    We’re extremely proud of our wonderful carers in Oswestry, who are truly exceptional at what they do. We only hire carers who are dedicated to their roles, and who possess a kind, compassionate personality, and every candidate must undergo a series of rigorous background checks before starting with us. Then, when they join, we provide every new carer with our industry-leading carer training, which covers a range of modules including specialist dementia care, mobility support, medication, moving and handling, and so much more. This initial four-day training programme is supplemented by regular refresher courses to ensure each carer’s knowledge and skillset is kept up to date with the latest care industry standards and best practices.

    FAQs

    Home care in Oswestry is professional support provided in your own home, helping you or a loved one stay safe, comfortable and independent without needing to move into residential care. It can be arranged as regular visiting care, occasional support, respite care, or full-time live-in care, depending on your needs.

    With Helping Hands, care is built around your routine, so support can include anything from help getting up in the morning to companionship, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and personal care.

    Home care can include a wide range of practical, personal and emotional support. This may include help with washing, dressing, toileting, medication prompts, preparing meals, light housework, shopping, attending appointments, mobility support and companionship.

    Care can be flexible, from short visits during the week to several visits a day or live-in care. The right level of support will depend on your needs, routines and preferences.

    A carer can help with everyday tasks that have become difficult to manage alone. This might include getting in and out of bed, washing and dressing, preparing meals, moving safely around the home, taking medication, keeping the house tidy, going shopping, attending appointments or simply having someone there for companionship.

    The aim is to provide the right amount of support while helping you maintain independence, dignity and confidence at home.

    The cost of home care in Oswestry depends on the type and amount of support you need. Helping Hands’ visiting care prices currently start from £32.40 per hour, with visits available from 30 minutes, and live-in care currently starts from £1,675 per week for one person. A call-out or travel charge may also apply.

    Because everyone’s needs are different, the best way to get an accurate price is to arrange a care assessment. This helps create a tailored care plan and a clear breakdown of costs before care begins.

    Home care can be cheaper than a care home, especially if you only need support for part of the day or a few times a week. Age UK says privately arranged home care can cost around £25 per hour, while residential care averages around £949 per week and nursing home care around £1,267 per week, although costs vary by area and needs.

    For people who need round-the-clock support, live-in care may be closer in cost to residential care, but it allows you to remain in your own home, keep familiar routines and receive one-to-one support.

    Yes. Helping Hands states that its service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, or CQC, in England and the Care Inspectorate Wales, or CIW, in Wales. These regulators monitor care providers to make sure they meet required standards for safety, quality and care delivery.

    Individual branch ratings can vary, so it is always worth checking the relevant local branch profile when arranging care in Oswestry.

    Home care in Oswestry can often be arranged quickly, depending on your needs, location and carer availability. In many cases, care can begin within a few days, and urgent support may be possible sooner following an assessment.

    The first step is usually a conversation about your situation, followed by a care assessment and a personalised care plan. This helps make sure the right support is in place from the start.
