For over 30 years, we’ve ensured that as many people as possible are able to stay within the comfort of their own homes whilst receiving the very best in home care. We’ve helped thousands of individuals across the country, and Martine’s team uphold that exact same passion for supporting others, regardless of their care needs or condition.

Martine’s team have a whole host of experience and between them are able to offer the very best visiting care in the area.

Daily or weekly calls could include supporting you to get in and out of bed, safely mobilising around your house with standing and walking aids, preparing your meals or doing some light housework. What’s more, care provides companionship too. Our carers won’t just tidy up and help you with personal care, they’ll take the time to make you both a cup of tea and have a chat about the news, your past or even the weather!

Extra support with home care in Stourbridge

For round-the-clock support with the familiarity of the same carer throughout the day and night, our home care option offers consistent care and reassurance that you always have someone there to look after you. So, if you get disorientated at night or need someone to help you move into a more comfortable position to avoid pressure sores, you’ll always have someone on hand to support you.

Regardless of whether you have a progressive, organic or complex condition, we can cater for your needs and requirements. And with the benefit of being fully supported by a talented team of clinical nurses, we can care for intensive needs such as tracheostomies, PEG feeding tubes, catheters and stomas, all whilst you stay in the place that you know and love – your home.

Your carer won’t just care for your physical needs, they’ll also tend to your emotional needs too. So, whether you enjoy window shopping at Merry Hill or fancy a day out spotting the cheetah and giraffe at West Midland Safari Park, your carer will accompany you and enjoy your day with you.

Better than a care agency in Stourbridge

We’re proud to say we’re not a care agency and never have been – we’re a private home care company who for more than 30 years has delivered superlative care to our thousands of customers across England and Wales. You may think it doesn’t make a difference whether we’re an agency or not, but it really does. Traditionally, care agencies are there to ‘introduce’ you to a carer who then becomes your responsibility to pay, manage and employ. You essentially become their employer, which is hardly the sort of thing you want to be spending your time doing when you need to be focussing on your care and wellbeing above all else. However, because we employ all of our carers directly at Helping Hands, offering pay and conditions well above the industry standard, we can choose the very best people to become our Stourbridge carers, meaning you get nothing but the highest standards of care every day that you need us.

Private care in Stourbridge

When you choose a private care provider such as Helping Hands for your care needs, you’ll receive an exceptional level of service that is fully tailored to your specific requirements and wishes. Our superb team of carers in Stourbridge will take the time to fully understand your needs in relation to your condition and your circumstance, and will help you design a package of care that supports your independence and allows you to remain comfortable and secure in your own home. From setting your bedtimes to choosing your favourite meals, you’ll have control over lots of important details of your care plan. Our Stourbridge care team are completely committed to ensuring every aspect of your care is perfect for you.

Domiciliary care delivered to your requirements

We understand how difficult it can sometimes be to accept that you might need a bit of extra help with your personal care or if you’ve recently received a diagnosis that means you now need support with your mobility. The Stourbridge team of empathetic and understanding carers are here to assuage any worries and anxieties and provide domiciliary care that totally suits you.

Led by you, the team will get to know what you need support with, your daily routines and your personality, which ensures that you have the right level of assistance in place delivered by a carer that you can get along with.

Dementia care and support from our experts

Being faced with a dementia diagnosis can be difficult to comprehend for both the individual and their family. With new symptoms to get used to – such as memory loss, confusion and disorientation – you may need to make some adjustments to your life and daily routine. To ensure there is as little disruption as possible, dementia care from Helping Hands helps you to come to terms with your new way of life with carers that are expertly trained in dementia and the effects.

We are closely aligned with the Dementia Action Alliance (DAA), a leading organisation in the dementia field who promote sharing of best practice and the latest and safest guidelines for supporting those living with dementia. Most importantly, our carers will enable you to ‘live well’ with dementia and not ‘suffer from’ the condition.

Get your independence back with elderly care

As we get older, we may start to notice that our reaction times are not as they were, or our mobility is starting to become more difficult. But with elderly care from our Stourbridge team, you needn’t worry about struggling with your daily routine as your get older. Your chosen carers will help you with whatever you need support with – whether that’s accompanying you to the local coffee shop to catch up with your friends, watering your plants or even taking your canine companion for a walk.

If you already have support from us but require extra help with personal care, administering medication or applying creams, we can alter your care plan at any time to account for this. Your care package is totally flexible and can be altered at any time to reflect your changing needs.

Respite care for emergencies or a well-earned break

Taking a break from being a full-time carer is a crucial part of a care routine, as it allows both of you to have some breathing space and recharge your batteries. Respite care is the perfect way to still get the care you’re used to, but safe in the knowledge that it’s been organised and agreed with all parties so that nothing is unaltered.

There may be times when planning ahead isn’t possible and your caregiver needs to attend a family crisis or you may have recently been injured or fallen ill and need extra help while you recover. Respite care from the Stourbridge team can be arranged in as little as 24 hours; a carer will be with you to quickly step in and provide the very best care and reassurance so that you have nothing to worry about.

Award-winning training for our Stourbridge carers

We are extremely proud to be the first and only home care provider to be acknowledged as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care for our training programme. This is delivered to all of our carers by our expert in-house training teams, who deliver modules that cover personal care, manual handling, medication, dementia, first aid and safeguarding.

Whilst ensuring all of our carers are fully trained to equip them when they are providing care and representing Helping Hands, they also have thorough background checks in the form of character references and Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screenings. That way, we can guarantee that you will have high quality care in your home from fully vetted individuals.

As a national care provider, we are routinely inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to ensure our services are safe, effective and responsive. Being scrutinised by a regulated body ensures that you can have total peace of mind that we will do what we say we will do, without any exceptions.

FAQs

Home care in Stourbridge 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 Stourbridge 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.

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.
