Visiting care and home care in Shipley

Situated on the meandering route of the River Aire, the small town of Shipley thrived in the UK's 19th-century industrial boom and played a large part in the growth of the textile industry. What was once home to several powering water mills, Shipley is now home to one of the UK’s leading home care providers – Helping Hands.

From 30 minutes per week, our hourly visiting carers are on hand to offer the additional support you need to continue living independently at home. From help with household chores to accompanying you to the shops, to personal care, there is a Helping Hands carer in Shipley prepared to provide the assistance you need with the utmost empathy and compassion. For those who need more regular support, our live-in care team are available to match you with a carer most suited to your personality and interests, so that you have a companion to assist you around the clock.

Live-in care in Shipley for round-the-clock support

If you are looking for more intensive support but residential care isn’t a suitable option for you, live-in care in Shipley is the perfect solution to ensure that you have the support you need to maintain a healthy and independent life in the comfort of your own home. With live-in care from our Shipley team, we’ll not only provide you with practical support, but we’ll work with you to find a carer who shares your hobbies and interests, so you don’t just receive a carer; you gain a friend.

Specialised dementia care from our expert team

Dementia is an umbrella term that covers over 100 different conditions and affects over 850,000 people in the UK. They can each affect an individual in different ways, and they can all be equally distressing for the person living with that condition and their loved ones. But as the UK’s leading dementia care specialists, we’re here to provide the right level of guidance and support so that we can help you to live well following a dementia diagnosis.

With dementia, familiarity is key. That’s why our Shipley team will work closely with you to follow all your pre-existing routines and preferences in the place you know best – your home. With empathy and understanding, we will also provide support and guidance to your loved ones so that they can have a better understanding of the condition and its symptoms, so you can continue to enjoy your time together as a family.

Elderly care to support you at home

As we grow through the various stages in life, we may need to start adapting our day-to-day lives due to the physical differences we start to feel – but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to compromise on your independence, too. Whether you need someone to pop in little and often to help you with your household chores, or you’re living with a progressive condition and you require more intensive support throughout the day and overnight, Tracy and her team will work with you to ensure that you have the care you need to remain independent at home.

Respite care for your short-term needs

The need for care can arise at any given moment, often with so little notice that finding an alternative seems almost impossible. With bespoke respite care from our Shipley team, we’ll step in to ensure that you have the care you need, when you need it.

We believe that you should never have to compromise on the quality of your care; that’s why our expert team will provide a seamless transition to ensure that you can continue to receive the support you need with minimal disruption to your existing routine. Whether you are moving out of residential care and need some support to adjust to life at home, or you have experienced an unexpected illness or injury and would like a helping hand on your road to recovery, we’ll be there to support you for as long as you need us to.

Fully trained carers to support you in Shipley

Here at Helping Hands, we’ve been providing person-centred care to thousands of families across England and Wales for over 30 years, so we know exactly what it takes to provide high-quality care. What’s more, each of our carers goes through a stringent recruitment process and is fully-trained in areas including moving & handling, health & safety, safeguarding and medication administration, so you can be sure that you are only receiving care from the best in the industry.

All of our carers are directly employed by us, and they all complete full background checks such as Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) screenings, so you don’t have to worry about any additional paperwork. Not only do our carers have the experience and the knowledge that is needed to provide high-quality care, but they also possess the one quality that simply cannot be taught: they all genuinely care.

We are incredibly proud to be the only home care provider to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, and we are also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
