Visiting care and home care in Penzance

The Cornish seaside town of Penzance found itself thrust into the limelight in 1879 when Gilbert and Sullivan used it as the home for the titular characters in their world-famous opera, The Pirates of Penzance. Penzance had a reputation as being a peaceful seaside resort town, so the amusing irony of pirates coming from the area was not lost on the locals.

At Helping Hands, we’re doing our utmost to ensure our customers are able to enjoy life the way they want it – whether they’re used to being as swashbuckling as possible or prefer to enjoy the peacefulness of Penzance and the surrounding area. Whatever your needs and wishes, our care team in Penzance will be able to work with you to develop a package of care that is perfectly matched to your individual circumstances.

    Live-in care

    If you or a loved one are living with a medical condition or experiencing age-related frailties that mean you’re no longer able to perform your daily routines and tasks alone, you may wish to consider live-in care from Helping Hands. With live-in care, one of our brilliant carers will come to live with you in your home and provide you with round-the-clock support in your home. Live-in care allows you to receive the compassionate, expert care that you need while remaining in the home you love, with your favourite views, familiar furnishings and people you love. All of our carers are fully trained to assist you in whatever way you need – from bathing and toileting to medication assistance – and will adapt their support to suit your preferences.

    Private care in Penzance

    When you use a private care provider such as Helping Hands, you’ll find that you have much more control over much of your care plan. From the moment you first speak to your local care team, we’ll take the time to understand your particular requirements and wishes and work with you to ensure we offer you a holistic package of care that gives you the independence and quality of life that you deserve. Whether it’s personalising your meals, determining bedtimes or having full flexibility over visiting hours, private home care allows you to spend more time doing the things you enjoy.

    Overnight care

    Overnight care is the ultimate peace of mind for loved ones who are living with a serious medical condition or experiencing frailty. An overnight carer from Helping Hands will be able to assist with toilet trips, support your loved one if they have a fall or monitor their condition in case it suddenly changes in the middle of the night. All of our brilliant carers are fully trained to support people with a wide range of medical conditions and needs, no matter how straightforward or complex they might be.
