Home care in Shipley
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 a number of 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.

Branch Care Manager
Hi, I’m Tracy. As the branch manager for Shipley, I ensure that all of our customers across the region receive the warmest welcome and the highest standard of care, from our compassionate and considerate carers. I have over twenty five years’ experience in managing care and I absolutely love what I do. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than being able to put a support plan in place to keep a customer in the home that they know and love, with the support around them so that they remain safe, have their well-being looked after whilst retaining their independence at home. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching true life documentaries and spending time with my grandchildren.

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.
