Home care in Runcorn
Visiting care and home care in Runcorn
Just eleven miles from Liverpool and with a rich port and industrial history of its own, Runcorn was founded by Alfred the Great’s daughter Ethelfleda, ruler of Mercia, in 915 AD. Viking invasion was a very real threat, so it was vitally important as a fortification to guard against a narrowing of the River Mersey which would leave them vulnerable to attack. Our ethos at Helping Hands is to do all we can to safeguard the vulnerable, so it’s no surprise that we decided to make our presence known in Runcorn. With visits starting from just 30 minutes a week and going right up to around the clock live-in care, our incredible carers go above and beyond to ensure that our customers get to live their best lives possible while remaining in the home they love.

Home dementia care built to support you

These circumstances can help to reduce confusion and anxiety which in itself will help you to live your best quality of life at home with dementia. You may not require professional care early in your dementia journey but as your condition progresses you may find it helps both you and your loved ones, so talk to us today about our 30 years’ dementia care experience and how we could use it to support you.

Respite care in your own home
-
Respite care from Helping Hands can be a lifeline if you need care in an emergency, as we can get one of our compassionate carers to your home within 24 hours. Even if time is not that pressing, you may still need someone to cover your regular carer’s break or to support you on a family holiday and may not feel that residential care is right for you. Our dedicated carers will come to you in your own home and continue your care as if your regular carer had never left, which is when our 30 years’ experience will really shine through.

Expert elderly care
-
If you could do with a little extra support at home, perhaps due to age-related frailties setting in, we can help. As we get older, tasks can take a little longer than they used to, but there’s no need for you to struggle at home when we could be supporting you with vacuuming, preparing meals, personal care, laundry and everything else. If you’d like to learn more about elderly care, then please contact us today and we could be supporting you to live your best life in your own home.
