Reading live-in care available in 24 hours

We’re sometimes able to provide live-in care in Reading in as little as 24 hours, for those instances when you unexpectedly find yourself needing extra support. Typically we advise that a care plan can be started within 48 to 72 hours of your initial phone call, but if there’s availability we’ll endeavour to get a carer in your home quicker than this. We know that it’s not always possible to anticipate when you might require support, which is why we try to be so responsive and flexible.

How can our live-in carers in Reading help you?

A live-in carer in Reading can support your independence in just about any way you might need – whether that’s helping around the home, travelling with you, taking your pet for a walk, assisting with mobility, and so much more. We’ll always take the time to discuss and assess your needs so that we’re perfectly clear about the areas of life in which you need your carer to assist. Of course, should your needs change over time, your carer will always be only too happy to make adjustments to your support so that you’re never left feeling isolated or unsupported.

Why you may need Live in Care

Live-in care can be a great option for people in a variety of circumstances. Perhaps you’ve experienced an injury or been diagnosed with a condition that is limiting your ability to keep up with your day-to-day routines and chores, or maybe you’re already receiving visiting care but have found you now need a more comprehensive level of support – particularly at night. Live-in care gives you the peace of mind and independence to continue enjoying the quality of life you deserve.

Carers for limited hour visits

If you’re not quite ready to have someone come to live with you in your home, we also have carers who can visit for set periods throughout the day. Whether you’d like someone to be on hand to help with your morning and evening routines, or would prefer to have a friendly face in the house during the day to keep you company and ensure your home is kept looking “just so”, we can adapt our much-loved support to suit all needs and preferences.

Intermittent long-term visits

Some of our customers rely on family members for support but find that this isn’t a sustainable long-term option. Having intermittent long-term visits from our carers can be the perfect way to ensure the precious support from family members can continue in a viable way whilst having an extra pair of hands to offer peace of mind and vital practical assistance. Your Reading Care Manager will design your care plan around your existing circumstances to ensure you’re entirely happy with the schedule and hours.

What's included with Live in care at Helping Hands?

Live-in care from our Reading team can include help with a wide range of household chores and routines, as well as supporting you to continue enjoying your favourite hobbies and activities. Living in your own home gives you the opportunity to maintain as normal a life as possible, and that’s what our live-in care helps with. It might be that you’re part of a church or a book club that means the world to you, or maybe you enjoy hosting loved ones for afternoon tea. Your live-in carer is there to enable you to continue enjoying all the great things that home life allows.
