Home care in Shrewsbury

Since our inception in 1989, we have supported thousands of families across the UK to remain in the comfort of their own homes, enabling them to live their lives entirely on their terms. And now we’re here to help you do the same. Whether you are living with a complex condition and need intensive support throughout the day and night, or you are living alone and simply need a helping hand in your elderly years – the team are here to support you so that you can live independently in your home.

No two people are the same, and everybody – regardless of their condition – has their own individual needs and preferences. Here at Helping Hands we celebrate this, which is why our Shrewsbury team will work closely with you to build a personalised care plan that is centred entirely around you.

With experience in conditions such as multiple sclerosis, dementia, acquired brain injuries and mental health, our team have the knowledge and expertise to provide the right support for you. Whether you need 30-minute visits to help you hang your washing on the line or more complex support for clinical conditions such as PEG feeding and catheter management, we are here to help.

Arranging more intensive support for you or your loved one can often be an unsettling time, especially if residential care isn’t your ideal preference. But with live-in care in Shrewsbury from the team, you’ll receive round-the-clock assistance as well as a detailed support plan that is tailored to you and your needs. What’s more, you don’t even have to worry about packing any boxes, because your carer will live with you in your home.

With live-in care from our Shrewsbury team, we make sure that your independence is at the forefront of what we do, and you will be treated not just as our customer, but as our family.

With private care from Helping Hands, we’ll provide you with a personalised care plan that is fully designed to your specific requirements and wishes. Our Shrewsbury care team will take the time to learn your personal preferences, hobbies and interests, and will match you with an expert carer who shares your personality. Every aspect of your care will be designed around you and your needs, ensuring you receive a holistic package of care that gives you a level of support, companionship and confidence that allows you to enjoy your normal routines and activities as much as possible.

It goes without saying that flexibility and control over your own care are paramount, which is why the team can provide the perfect care package so that you have minimal disruption to your usual routine.

Domiciliary care doesn’t only apply to elderly care; we support anybody who needs some extra help from the age of 18 all the way up to 100 and beyond. So, if you need support with your mobility while you are getting to and from work or you would like someone to help you prepare your meals – the team are here for you.

With over 850,000 people in the UK living with dementia, it’s more important than ever that families affected by the condition have straight-forward access to the expert information and support that is available to them. As one of the UK’s leading dementia care specialists, we’re here to provide you with the care and support that you need so that you and your family can continue to live well with dementia.

There are many variants of dementia, and no two people are affected in the same way. With specialist support from the team, we’re here to help you with anything from communication and treatments through to preparing the right meals.

The time following a dementia diagnosis can be unnerving and distressing for all involved, which is why our Shrewsbury team are here to alleviate your worries and provide a dedicated care plan that is entirely focused on you and the support that you need.

Growing older can often bring about its challenges; you may need some support with getting dressed and ready for the day, or perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with a progressive condition and your partner can no longer support you like they used to. Whatever it is that you need, our Shrewsbury team are here to provide a bespoke home care package that is designed to keep you safe and independent at home.

Having a little rest and recuperation for yourself when you’re caring for a loved one is vital, but that doesn’t mean that your loved one has to compromise on their care or go without it. With bespoke respite packages from our Shrewsbury team, we’re here to help you or your loved one with the support you need, for as long as you need it.

Respite care is available for a number of instances; whether you are due to be discharged from hospital and would like some support while you rebuild your independence, or perhaps you want to go across to Wales for the weekend with your family but would like some extra support while you’re away from home. Whatever it is you need, we can arrange a swift and personalised respite care package to support you when you need it – often within as little as 24 hours’ notice.

We’re proud to be one of the leading care providers in the UK, but we wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for the commitment of our wonderful carers. As a family-run business with family-values at its heart, it’s important to us that our customers don’t just receive care – they have companionship. Our carers exemplify this, and we are incredibly proud of each and every one of them.

What’s more, each of our carers are fully trained in manual handling, health & safety, equality & diversity, dementia, medication support and many more, as well as receiving full background checks such as Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screenings.

Here at Helping Hands, we are the only home care provider endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, as well as being fully licensed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
