Visiting care and home care in Shepshed

Shepshed is derived from the name ‘Sheepstead’ after the town’s fame from its historic and successful wool trade. Nowadays, it’s a quaint little town nestled in Leicestershire, surrounded by some beautiful hotspots like Bradgate Park, Whatton House and the National Trust’s Calke Abbey. If Shepshed is home to you, it can be hard to consider leaving and thinking about care homes.

With Helping Hands, you won’t have to leave! We offer superb care from within the comfort of your own home. We’re regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), so we’re always putting our best foot forward. With us, you can be safe in the knowledge that your needs will be looked after whilst remaining in the place you love most - home.

    High-quality home care in Shepshed

    We’re proud of how high-quality our care is and how satisfied our customers are. With over 150 branches around the UK and over 35 years of experience, we’re perfecting our home care every day. We offer live-in, visiting and respite care to suit you and your unique needs. Whether that’s someone to take care of the housekeeping, grocery shopping and meal preparation, we can be there. Or perhaps you’re looking for someone to aid your more complex medical needs, like stoma and catheter care, ventilation care and NIPPY and PEG feeding. In this case, our nursing care can handle that with a top-quality carer to assist you.

    24/7 live-in care support

    Live-in care is designed to be an around-the-clock, tailored care plan that will adapt to number one – you! Our carers are great at looking after those chores you may struggle with nowadays and can handle more complex condition-led care like dementia or Parkinson’s. We handpick our live-in carers to match you and your personality, meaning we endeavour to help find you a new companion. While they’re experts at healthcare and compassionate support, our carers are the most friendly and comforting people out there. We hope you’ll be showing off Whatton House with your new trusted friend from Helping Hands before you know it.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Shepshed

    We’re better than anyone else out there for one simple reason – we care the most! We understand it’s not a ‘one size fits all’ approach to health care, and we will take the time to understand what your expectations are and how we can meet them. If you need support to enjoy your current stage of life, we offer elderly care which goes above and beyond to help you get the best out of life. Whether that’s mobility support, help with medication administration or simply creating a daily routine, we can help in Shepshed. We offer a variety of different care packages, such as end-of-life care or respite care (if what you’re after is a helping hand temporarily).

    FAQs

    Home care in Shepshed is professional support provided in your own home, helping you or a loved one stay safe, comfortable and independent without needing to move into residential care. It can be arranged as regular visiting care, occasional support, respite care, or full-time live-in care, depending on your needs.

    With Helping Hands, care is built around your routine, so support can include anything from help getting up in the morning to companionship, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and personal care.

    Home care can include a wide range of practical, personal and emotional support. This may include help with washing, dressing, toileting, medication prompts, preparing meals, light housework, shopping, attending appointments, mobility support and companionship.

    Care can be flexible, from short visits during the week to several visits a day or live-in care. The right level of support will depend on your needs, routines and preferences.

    A carer can help with everyday tasks that have become difficult to manage alone. This might include getting in and out of bed, washing and dressing, preparing meals, moving safely around the home, taking medication, keeping the house tidy, going shopping, attending appointments or simply having someone there for companionship.

    The aim is to provide the right amount of support while helping you maintain independence, dignity and confidence at home.

    The cost of home care in Shepshed depends on the type and amount of support you need. Helping Hands’ visiting care prices currently start from £32.40 per hour, with visits available from 30 minutes, and live-in care currently starts from £1,675 per week for one person. A call-out or travel charge may also apply.

    Because everyone’s needs are different, the best way to get an accurate price is to arrange a care assessment. This helps create a tailored care plan and a clear breakdown of costs before care begins.

    Home care can be cheaper than a care home, especially if you only need support for part of the day or a few times a week. Age UK says privately arranged home care can cost around £25 per hour, while residential care averages around £949 per week and nursing home care around £1,267 per week, although costs vary by area and needs.

    For people who need round-the-clock support, live-in care may be closer in cost to residential care, but it allows you to remain in your own home, keep familiar routines and receive one-to-one support.

    Yes. Helping Hands states that its service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, or CQC, in England and the Care Inspectorate Wales, or CIW, in Wales. These regulators monitor care providers to make sure they meet required standards for safety, quality and care delivery.

    Individual branch ratings can vary, so it is always worth checking the relevant local branch profile when arranging care in Shepshed.

    Home care in Shepshed can often be arranged quickly, depending on your needs, location and carer availability. In many cases, care can begin within a few days, and urgent support may be possible sooner following an assessment.

    The first step is usually a conversation about your situation, followed by a care assessment and a personalised care plan. This helps make sure the right support is in place from the start.
