What is a Private Carer?

If you’re considering home care in Plymouth for yourself or a loved one, a private carer provides personalised, one-to-one support that helps you maintain your independence while receiving all the extra assistance you need. A private carer is a trained professional who offers support in your own home, allowing you to continue living comfortably and safely. At Helping Hands, we ensure all of our carers are compassionate and professional, providing person-centred care that is tailored to each individual’s specific needs. Whether you require visiting care two or three times a week or ongoing daily support, a private carer gives you the flexibility to receive care on your terms. And, for your total peace of mind, every aspect of our support is independently regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).

What can a Private Carer help with?

A private carer can assist with a variety of tasks, ranging from sensitive personal care to household chores and helping you move around your home safely. As well as supporting you practically around the home, a private carer can also provide invaluable companionship and emotional support. It’s easy to forget that emotional needs are often just as important as physical needs, especially for those living alone. Many of our carers accompany their customers on trips out – whether to the shops, a social gathering, or even on holiday. Having a private carer means you’ll always have someone there to help you maintain your daily routine and enjoy life to the fullest. We’re able to provide both visiting care and live-in care in Plymouth, depending on your type and level of needs.
