High quality Reading dementia care from Helping Hands
Dementia is more common amongst the older generation and is an umbrella term for the hundreds of conditions that can affect the brain and memory. Dementia is a progressive illness, and for many people, the condition means that life can become more difficult to manage.
Helping Hands have been supporting people living with dementia at home since we were established in 1989. Our care staff have been specially selected for their experience and compassion and know exactly what is required to help our customers to feel safe, comfortable, and independent in the home they love.

While dementia presents very individually, the majority of people do experience confusion and anxiety, which can be made worse if they have to leave familiar and comfortable surroundings. Therefore, people living with dementia can especially benefit from care at home.
All our home care services are delivered by dedicated, compassionate carers. However, our dementia carers understand just how much patience and understanding they need to demonstrate to help their dementia customers live as well as possible.
Our dementia care includes every aspect of the person’s practical and emotional care needs, including mobility assistance, personal care, companionship, housework, preparing meals, and running errands. Basically, anything you need support with throughout the day and night.
Dementia care at home in Reading is suitable for early and later-stage dementia because of our knowledgeable and empathetic carers and local managers. We adapt our approach as the person’s condition changes, and your support plan will be updated as necessary too.
We’ve never been a care agency, which means that our carers are directly employed by us and aren’t forced into self-employment. Consequently, we cover all of their insurance and DBS checks. Being a private home care company, established in 1989, means that we are experts in delivering the very highest standards of care at home.
Receiving care is about so much more than pounds and pence. We will design your own package of care for you and make sure it is competitively priced, while delivering excellent, individualised support every time. Talk to your local manager for more information about how we price our care.
Reading dementia care supports familiar routines and environments by keeping you comfortable in the home you love. We support your independence to continue with your regular routine, but where you need our help, we fit seamlessly into your way of doing things. It’s a win-win!

Why care at home is a good option for somebody with dementia
Thanks to our years of experience in providing high-level dementia care, we have a good understanding of what is required to help our clients who are living with dementia in the most effective ways possible. We now understand that it is important for people living with dementia to be living in comfortable, familiar surroundings, with a strong daily routine – which is not necessarily conducive to living in residential care.
We can arrange for professional clinical, nursing care, provided by our registered nurses, full-time live in care in Reading by specially selected live-in care staff, or visiting care – whereby your home is visited as often as you need by our friendly dementia support team – according to your own, specific needs and requirements.
When to choose dementia care at home
Whether you are looking for someone who can help with light housework, laundry, or preparing meals, or someone to help with the administration of medication or nursing care, our fantastic home care in Reading team is always here to help.
We can fully adapt our services to suit your needs, and our person-centred care philosophy cherishes the fact that we become friends as well as carers.
Expert care tailored to your needs
Helping Hands offer visiting and live-in care, tailored to your particular needs and fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales. You may only need us intermittently to give your loved ones a break, or perhaps you’d prefer around the clock, full-time care.
Regardless, we are able to ensure that our customers who have been diagnosed with dementia can stay living in the comfort, security, and familiarity of their own home. It also helps them to maintain a degree of independence and control over their lives, helping to preserve feelings of self-worth.
