Live-In Care Swansea

What's included with live in care from Helping Hands?

At Helping Hands, our home care services are designed to give you everything you need to live comfortably, confidently, and independently in your own Swansea home. Whether you’d like support with day-to-day tasks, such as keeping your home tidy, doing the shopping, or caring for your beloved pets, our friendly carers are here to lend a hand. We can also assist with personal care, including washing, dressing, and continence support, helping you feel your best every day.

Our Swansea team also provides warm, reliable companionship, and we often hear how strong the relationships between our customers and carers become. We take great care to match you with someone who complements your personality and lifestyle, so you can enjoy not just support, but genuine friendship with your Helping Hands carer.

Why you may need care

There are many reasons why you may need support at home. You might benefit from regular elderly care throughout the week, or require specialist dementia care to help you manage your condition comfortably and safely. It may be that your main carer needs a break and you’re looking for respite care, or perhaps you’re returning home after a hospital stay and need temporary assistance while you regain your strength. Whatever your situation, our Swansea team is here to provide reliable, compassionate care whenever you need it.

Carers for limited-hour visits

Some people only need help for short periods, which is why our local Swansea home care team can offer visits starting from just 30 minutes a week. These short visits can support you with a variety of tasks, such as preparing meals, vacuuming, changing bed sheets, assisting with medication, or helping you move safely around your home.

If you need extra reassurance overnight, we can also arrange dedicated night-time care. This may include help with getting in and out of bed or simply being there if you wake and feel unsettled. Overnight care can be particularly valuable for someone living with dementia, who may feel more confused or disoriented during the night. Having a trained carer present offers peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.

Intermittent long-term visits

If you need short-term, round-the-clock support while your usual carer takes a well-deserved break, our respite care could be the ideal solution. Our Swansea team can step in for a week or longer, giving your regular carer time to rest while ensuring you continue receiving the care you need.

With flexible short-term visits or temporary live-in support, you can remain in the comfort of your own home without having to move into residential care. Your routines, preferences, and home comforts stay exactly as you like them while you enjoy the support and companionship of one of our Swansea carers.

Carers for immediate situations

Sometimes care needs appear unexpectedly, like your regular support suddenly becoming unavailable, or you experience an illness or accident that means you need assistance straight away. Our Swansea team can arrange emergency care quickly, often on the same day, ensuring you receive the help you need without delay.
