Visiting care and home care in Portland

Portland is a beautiful island on the English Channel and is famous for being part of the Jurassic Coast. Described by Thomas Hardy as ‘the peninsula carved by Time out of a single stone’, Portland attracts many tourists for its history and climate. Did you know that in Portland, the word ‘rabbit’ is taboo due to its long association with bad luck? Portland also boasts a castle made by King Henry VIII, the Portland Bill Lighthouse and one of the biggest manmade harbours in the world.

With all these wonderful things about Portland, it can be a hard choice to consider leaving for a care home. With Helping Hands, you won’t have to. We offer top-quality live-in or visiting home care to your home in Portland. We’re regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), so we’re always up to scratch.

Handpicked carers

We only employ those special people with the right levels of patience, empathy, and compassion to care for you as we'd want our own families to be cared for.

Care that's tailored to you

We know that good care means something different to each of us. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your family to understand your needs and preferences.

Supporting families

High-quality home care in Portland

We’re the best of the best when it comes to care. If what you’re after is an extra pair of hands lately to help with the washing up, to bake that Victoria Sponge, or to help walk the dog along the beach, we can help. Our carers are great at household chores, shopping errands and meal preparation. Our visiting care starts from just 30 minutes a week, and we also offer respite care if what you’re after is just a short-term solution to your needs. Creating a daily routine and assistance with personal care like bathing and dressing will all help you to get the best possible quality out of life.

24/7 live-in care support

Perhaps you need a bit more of a hands-on approach if what you need is a more around-the-clock carer. With our live-in support, we can provide the care you need within the comfort of your own home. Our carers are trained in all sorts of conditions such as Parkinson’s, dementia, strokes, and cancer care. We also offer nurse-led care, which allows NHS-trained nurses to train our carers in more complex medical needs. This can range from nephrostomy care, ventilation care or general medication administration. All our carers are passionate about helping others and would be happy to join you in your home.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Portland

Here at Helping Hands, we take the time to get to know you and your condition. We offer care within your own home so you can remain where you love the most, surrounded by your loved ones. If you’re dealing with an emergency and need urgent care, we endeavour to be at your door within 24 hours. Our carers can deal with a lot – but they’re also handpicked to match your interests and personality and make wonderful companions. This way, you’ll not only gain an experienced carer in your home, but you could be soon showing off the Portland Harbour with your new best friend.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Portland

Our carers are handpicked for their kindness, compassion, and genuine love of helping others. DBS checked; we make sure they’re the best men and women for the job. Trained in a variety of conditions, we offer specialist training for some conditions. For instance, we award the Dementia Champion accreditation to the carers who have completed the highest standard of dementia care. They go above and beyond every day to make themselves and the company proud. If you want to hear more about our care options, feel free to contact us over the phone or via our Live Chat.
