Visiting care and home care in Telford

Named after the legendary road builder, civil engineer and architect Thomas Telford, Telford is perhaps most recognised for being the home of the long-standing industrial landmark, The Iron Bridge. A town that is rich with British history, Telford is now home to one of the UK’s leading home care providers – Helping Hands.

With a Helping Hands carer, you can receive all the support you need to maintain a fulfilling lifestyle, which is as safe for your wellbeing, as it is independent. With hourly visiting care, up to around-the-clock live-in care, we provide fully-qualified carers who specialise in compassion and companionship.

    Visiting home care tailored to you in Telford

    Here at Helping Hands, we’ve been supporting people across the UK to live independently at home for over 30 years – and now we’re here to help you do the same. Whether you are living in your more senior years and you would like some support with getting out into the local community, or you are living with a complex condition that requires more intensive support throughout the day, the team are on hand to give you the support you need to remain safe, comfortable and independent in your home.

    We understand that everybody has their own individual needs and preferences – regardless of the condition they are living with. Here at Helping Hands, we celebrate your individuality and encourage you to make the most out of every day. That’s why our Telford team will work closely with you to build a personalised support plan that is focused entirely around you and your needs.

    And with experience supporting conditions ranging from dementia and multiple sclerosis to mental health and cerebral palsy, our Telford team have the knowledge and expertise to provide you with only the best level of visiting care. Whether you need visits that are little and often to help you with your household chores or more clinical support including PEG feeding and stroke aftercare – we’re here to help.

    Live-in care for round-the-clock support

    Acknowledging the need for more intensive support for you or your loved one can be unnerving for all involved, especially if you don’t want to give up the home you’ve known and loved for so many years. But that’s exactly why the team provide bespoke live-in care packages – so that you have the round-the-clock support you need without having to make any compromises to your current routine or independence.

    Here at Helping Hands, we believe that care is so much more than providing just practical support, but your mental wellbeing is important to us too. With you at the heart of our service, we’ll find a live-in carer that shares many of your hobbies and interests with you; so if you’re a former vet, we’ll find a carer that has worked with animals too.

    Care Agency In Telford

    Introductory-style care agencies charge you fees to be ‘introduced’ to a carer, you will then be expected to employ the carer yourself and deal with all of the resulting management. With Helping Hands none of that is a consideration, because we’re a private home care company that for over 30 years have been supporting our customers at home and taking care of every aspect of their wellbeing. Our fully managed service will comprehensively care for you from the moment you first call us, and during the time that you need us we will never compromise our standards. We have 155 local branches across England and Wales and a network of dedicated care managers in the field, meaning that your Telford carers will always be fully supported in everything they do.

    Domiciliary care in Telford

    Domiciliary care from the team puts the flexibility and control of your care exactly where it should be – in your hands. We’ll work closely with you to build a personalised care plan that focuses entirely around you and your needs, so you can receive the support you need in the place you know best.

    Although domiciliary care is commonly associated with elderly care, we support anybody who needs it from the age of 18 all the way up to 100 and beyond. So if you’re starting university and would like some support around campus, or you’re working full-time but could do with some extra help with getting to and from work, the team are here to help in any way you need them to.

    One-to-one dementia care for you and your loved ones

    With over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, the need for straight-forward access to information and support is only becoming more and more important. And as one of the UK’s leading dementia care specialists, we’re here to ensure that you and your loved ones have that access and are receiving the support you need to enable you to live well with dementia.

    There are over 100 variants of dementia, but no two people are affected in the same way. With dementia, familiarity is key; that’s why the team will work closely with you and your loved ones to provide a care package that is entirely unique to you, allowing you to feel safe in your home whilst still receiving the dedicated support you need.

    Elderly care to give you peace of mind

    Whether you are reaching your elderly years, or you have a loved one that is and you are concerned for their wellbeing, the team provide dedicated elderly care packages that give you the support you need without making any compromises to your independence.

    You may be feeling a little slower than you used to be and would like some support with your household chores, or perhaps your partner has been diagnosed with a progressive condition and you are unable to give them the full-time care they need. Whatever it is, our Telford team are here to help.

    Respite care for as long as you need it

    If you’re a caregiver for a loved one, taking some time out for some rest and recuperation is vital – but that doesn’t mean that your loved one has to forego the high-quality care that they are so accustomed to. With bespoke respite care packages from our Telford team, we’ll work with you to provide the high level of care you need, for as long as you need it.

    Whether you are due to go home following a spell in hospital but you would like some extra help on your road to recovery, or your relative is getting married and you would like to celebrate the day with them but you don’t feel safe without any support, we can put a swift package of care in place to ensure that you have person-centred care that is ready for you when you need it.

    Award-winning training for our Telford carers

    Helping Hands was founded by Mary Lee in 1989 to enable those who needed some extra support to remain safe and independent in the comfort of their own homes. Thirty years later, we’re proud to still be providing the same level of outstanding care to thousands of families across England and Wales – but it wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of our carers. As a company that was built on a foundation of family values, it’s incredibly important to us that our customers receive more than just care – they have friendship. Our carers exemplify this, and we are so proud to have them as part of our team.

    Following a stringent recruitment process, each of our carers complete a comprehensive training course that includes modules such as moving and handling, dementia care and safeguarding, as well as receiving full background checks such as Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screenings.

    And thanks to the commitment of our carers, support staff and management teams, we are proud to be the only home care provider to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, and we are also fully licensed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

    FAQs

    Home care in Telford 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 Telford 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 Telford.

    Home care in Telford 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.
