Helping Hands’ team providing home care in Rochdale offer different levels of care, from short visiting care (with the option for as little as 30 minutes a week) to intermediate and respite care, to more extensive full-time care for those who need round-the-clock support. In some cases, we even offer same-day emergency services for when you urgently need someone to step in and help at a moment’s notice, as well as overnight care for that extra peace of mind.
Our Rochdale team are always happy to discuss the option that will best meet your needs, whether you need assistance with mobility around the house, help organising meals or medications, sorting out housework or facilitating everyday activities.
Respite care
If you’re caring for a loved one, it can be necessary to step away from time to time to recharge your batteries. Respite care is all about ensuring an extra level of support when you need it most. Helping Hands offers intermediate care, for example, over a one or two-week period, if the usual carer needs to tend to an urgent matter, falls ill, has an accident or emergency, or simply needs a holiday or time off. Our carers will make sure that everything runs smoothly while you’re away.
Elderly care
Our professional staff are not just there to help with practical domestic tasks. Though every one of them is fully trained, we also know how important it is to really get to know the person you’re caring for, and to share genuine companionship, reassurance and a cup of tea now and then.
Elderly care can help elderly people feel more comfortable, independent and in control in the surroundings they’re most familiar with – their own homes. Whether care is delivered on a short, medium or long-term basis, our team are there to make things happen.
Domiciliary care
Domiciliary care is care that takes place in your own home, in a way that works best for you. Domiciliary care has many advantages over residential care in a nursing home, not least of which is the assurance that you’re always receiving tailored, one-on-one attention. Our carers will take the time to work around your personality, preferences, routines and needs, so you’re empowered to get on with the life you want to live.
In contrast to moving to residential care home, domiciliary care is all about personalised visits and a carer that is best suited to your temperament. It’s about ensuring you feel in control of your daily activities, as well as being able to reach out for emotional support and reassurance.
Each of our Helping Hands carers is trained to an exceptionally high standard, with a Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) certificate and comprehensive background check. We have staff from all walks of life, but what they have in common is their compassion and genuine desire to make people’s lives better every day.
Along with many other accreditations, Helping Hands has been designated a Centre of Excellence for our training programme. All personal care services are provided by our Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered office Helping Hands West Manchester, which is the governing body for care in England. They regularly monitor the services we provide and appraise our care against a strict code of practice, meaning you can trust you’re getting the care you require.
