    High quality home care in Teesside

    Our carers in Teesside offer a wide range of flexible home care services that can be fully tailored to your needs and adapted as your circumstances change. Our visiting care packages start from as little as 30 minutes per week – ideal for anyone looking for a bit of help around the home or some extra companionship. Or, if your care needs are more complex, you may wish to consider having live-in care, where one of our wonderful carers will live in your home and provide you with round-the-clock support. Whatever type and level of care you need, we’ll be able to personalise a care plan to suit.

    24/7 live in care support

    If you’d benefit from the proactive, transformative support of a live-in carer, we’d love to help. Our wonderful live-in carers can assist people with a wide range of needs, ranging from basic companionship and housekeeping through to dementia care and expert mobility assistance. A live-in carer provides invaluable peace of mind for the person receiving care and for family and friends who might constantly be worrying about their loved one’s health. Your live-in carer can even be there throughout the night to help out in case of slips, trips and falls.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in 'Teesside'

    Helping Hands are a private care provider rather than a care agency, which means you can have full confidence that we employ all of our carers directly and provide them with comprehensive carer training. We go above and beyond to ensure our carers are best placed to provide you with the exceptional support you deserve, and we believe that the best way to do this is by looking after them properly. All Helping Hands carers receive a salary, a pension, paid mileage, and many excellent benefits which allow them to focus on your care, rather than worrying about their own well-being.

    Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Teesside

    With over 30 years’ experience in the home care industry, it’s safe to say we know what to look for in a great carer. That’s why we’ll only ever recruit people who display the natural characteristics and personality traits that we believe are suited to care-based roles, such as empathy, compassion and dedication. When they start with us, every new carer participates in our award-winning training programme, which we’ve been delivering and developing in-house for over 30 years, so all of our carers are highly trained and equipped to help people with a wide range of care needs.

    FAQs

    Home care in Teesside 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 Teesside 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.

    Because everyone’s needs are different, the best way to get an accurate price is to arrange a care assessment. This helps create a tailored care plan and a clear breakdown of costs before care begins.

    Home care can be cheaper than a care home, especially if you only need support for part of the day or a few times a week. Age UK says privately arranged home care can cost around £25 per hour, while residential care averages around £949 per week and nursing home care around £1,267 per week, although costs vary by area and needs.

    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.

    Yes. Helping Hands states that its service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, or CQC, in England and the Care Inspectorate Wales, or CIW, in Wales. These regulators monitor care providers to make sure they meet required standards for safety, quality and care delivery.

    Individual branch ratings can vary, so it is always worth checking the relevant local branch profile when arranging care in Teesside.

    Home care in Teesside can often be arranged quickly, depending on your needs, location and carer availability. In many cases, care can begin within a few days, and urgent support may be possible sooner following an assessment.

    The first step is usually a conversation about your situation, followed by a care assessment and a personalised care plan. This helps make sure the right support is in place from the start.
