What is a Private Carer?
If you or a loved one are considering your options for home care in Sheffield, you may wish to consider the benefits of opting for a private carer from a private care provider. A private carer is a trained professional who offers personalised one-on-one support, helping you remain in the comfort of your own home rather than moving into a care home. At Helping Hands, we’re a private care provider who directly recruit, train, and employ all of our carers. The main reason we do this is so that you can feel confident that the person supporting you has been through thorough vetting and training to provide the highest standard of care. And, for your total peace of mind, every aspect of our support is independently regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).
What can a Private Carer help with?
A private carer can provide a wide range of support, ensuring that you are able to continue living life on your own terms. In fact, that’s the main role of a carer – to give you the confidence and ability to live well and maintain your physical and mental well-being for as long as possible.
Carers can assist with just about anything around the home, and can also play a crucial role in supporting mobility, helping with transfers, walking, and general movement to keep you as active as possible. If you require medication reminders, they can ensure you take your prescribed doses at the correct times. A carer can also provide companionship, whether that’s over a friendly cuppa, helping you to continue enjoy your hobbies, or accompanying you on trips outside the house.
