Home care in Reading

Being a private care provider, rather than a care agency, means that at Helping Hands we employ and pay our carers directly and take full responsibility for their general wellbeing.

Often care agencies will require clients to pay their carers directly. This results in all sorts of unexpected and unwanted fees and paperwork that can often become time-consuming and stressful.

With home care from Helping Hands, we take care of all the fiddly admin and we make sure our carers are always well looked after, ensuring that they’re able to focus on providing you or your loved one with the best possible care.

We understand that when the need arises for more intensive support, it can be distressing for you and your loved ones – especially if you feel that residential care isn’t the most suitable option for you. With live in care from our Reading team, one of our dedicated carers will live with you in your home to ensure that you have the round-the-clock support you need to feel safe and independent at home and out in the local community.

Live-in care from our Reading team is more than just practical care; your mental wellbeing matters too. We’ll work with you to find a carer that shares your personality, hobbies and interests, so you have more than just a carer; you’ll have friendship. So if football is your passion and you want to head out to the Madejski Stadium and cheer on your team, we’ll be right there with you in a blue and white scarf.

And with the support of our clinical nurses, our Reading team are fully equipped to support with more complex care requirements such as PEG feeding and catheter care, so you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.

Whether you decide to have private care on a visiting care or live-in care basis, Helping Hands’ dedicated and compassionate carers will ensure that you get to live your life in the best way you can, in the home you love.

If the thought of moving to residential care fills you with worry you need to know that you can remain in your own home and receive care for any level of condition, from the most complex down to simple companionship. Your care is always tailored exactly to your needs and thanks to your bespoke support plan your carers will always ensure your care follows your routines and preferences.

So if you’re adamant you should remain at home to receive your care then so are we, and our local care team can make this a reality for you. You call the shots – from mealtimes to bedtimes, and it’ll always be that way, as you’ll forever be at the centre of your care journey.
