Visiting care and home care in Thirsk

We firmly believe that you can continue to live an independent life for as long as you wish and with the help of our compassionate carers, this is possible.

    High quality home care in Thirsk

    We ensure we deliver empathetic, person-centred care to all our customers. We believe in looking after our customers as a whole. Whether you need emotional or physical support, we will always be there for you.

    Our home care packages are fully tailored and bespoke to your needs. You can choose to have care for a few hours a week with visiting care or 24 hours a day with live-in care. Whatever you choose, we will ensure you receive the very best care you deserve.

    24/7 live in care support

    If you are living with a complex condition like dementia or Parkinson’s, you may need support throughout the day. If this is the case, then live-in care can be a viable solution for you. Or perhaps your loved ones cannot visit as much as they would like, so having someone around 24 hours a day can give them the reassurance they need.

    Whatever the reason, having a carer stay with you at home will provide you with the support and security you require. Plus, you can remain in an environment where you feel safe and calm – a place you genuinely love, home.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Thirsk

    At Helping Hands, we deliver care as a private home care provider, not a care agency. We directly employ our carers, as we want to ensure we recruit compassionate and empathetic individuals who genuinely care for our customers. We also provide them with nurse-led training so they have the right skills to provide outstanding care. Plus, you won’t be faced with extra costs or referral fees.

    Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Thirsk

    Our carers are fully trained to provide the care you need to live an independent life at home.  They continue to develop their skills via refresher courses.

    We understand how daunting it can be to invite someone new to your home, which is why all our carers undergo a strict background check, including a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. So don’t worry, you will be well looked after by our trustworthy carers.

    FAQs

    Home care in Thirsk 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 Thirsk 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 Thirsk.

    Home care in Thirsk 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.
