Whether you need some temporary extra support at home or you’re looking to go on holiday and have additional care needs, we can help. We offer short-term respite care on both a visiting and live-in care basis so that your family can take a break, or you can have some help to get back on your feet. Because we’ve been offering the highest quality home care in Stafford since we were established in 1989, we are experts in taking care of our customers in the home they love, as well as supporting them to make the most of their local community. And as our care is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you can be sure we’ll always help you to live your very best life.
There are many circumstances that could lead you to respite care, but we tend to find most of our customers choose it because they have been discharged from hospital and need a little extra help, already have a carer who needs a holiday, or are trying out care at home for the first time. We understand the reasons that bring people to seek respite care in their own home and you can rely on us to manage every aspect of it for you, from the first moment you contact us.
We work tirelessly to keep you comfortable, safe, and as independent as possible in the home you love best, and we do that by getting to know you and the way you like to live your life. Whether you are retired, studying, or working from home, we can support you to do the practical daily tasks that mean you can focus on staying as well as possible. This includes managing your medication, undertaking your personal care, preparing your meals, accompanying you to appointments, and so much more.
We think our carers are the best in the industry, because they will go above and beyond to ensure that their customers are fully supported to live as they wish to at home. Being able to remain living at home is the wish of so many people and this shouldn’t have to change just because you need additional care. We’ll come to you, from an hour or two a week up to around-the-clock support, as you navigate the changes in your life. You’ll get to know your Helping Hands carer and they’ll become a trusted friend, valued by both you and your loved ones. We provide our carers with continual opportunities to develop their skills, meaning they get chances to progress their career if it’s what they’re looking to do. Additionally, they’ll also attend training and development courses which they’ll be able to apply to their everyday role.
If you are looking for respite support in and around Stafford, please contact our friendly customer care specialists, seven days a week. You can chat to them online or over the phone, or you can pop in for a chat and a cuppa with the local branch team in your area.
