Home care in Topsham
Visiting care and home care in Topsham
The name ‘Topsham’ is originally Anglo-Saxon, and means ‘Toppa’s village’ – named after a man called Toppa who had been granted the land by the king. Formerly a major seaport for Exeter’s prolific cloth industry, the Sunday Times listed Topsham as ‘one of the best places to live’ in 2021.
For what it’s worth, we fully agree that Topsham is a wonderful town to call home. And, with our flexible, person-centred home care, our superb Topsham carers can help you or your loved one to continue living in the home and town that you love, surrounded by your favourite sights, memories and people.

Meet the Topsham care team
Branch Care Manager
Hello, My name is Porsha, the Branch Manager for the Topsham branch. It is my responsibility to ensure as a branch we provide the best quality care to individuals in their own homes, to help them remain independently at home for as long as possible. I am confident that my team of carers are trained to a high standard, to be able to deliver care that responds to the individual needs of our customers. I feel looked after and am enjoying my role within the company so it is important to me to be able to relay this and ensure my team of carers and office staff feel just as important and looked after by me. Both my Mum and my Auntie have worked in healthcare as carers which inspired me to join the healthcare sector. It is something I am very passionate about and I have worked my way up from a carer to be a Branch Manager.

Live-in care in Topsham

If you or your loved one find yourself needing an additional level of support to what you’re currently receiving, you may wish to consider having a live-in carer from Helping Hands.

Care agency in Topsham
-
When you choose to use a care agency for your home care, you’ll often find they expect you to handle your carers’ payments and fill in endless paperwork that ends up being time-consuming and stressful. It’s also often the case that you have to pay all sorts of hidden fees that weren’t included in your initial contract. At Helping Hands, we’re a private care provider which means that we pay our carers directly and take care of all the fiddly behind-the-scenes stuff. We believe this is the right way to operate, because it makes your care journey more straightforward and it gives our carers more time and energy to devote to supporting you.
-
Private care in Topsham
-
Being a private care provider not only means that we employ our carers directly and prioritise their well-being, it also means we’re able to give our customers more control over their care plan. We know that no two people have identical support needs, which is why we’ll always make sure you’re making the important decisions regarding the type and level of care that you receive. Whether it’s specifying what time you’d like your carers to visit, what you’d like to eat for dinner, what sort of person you’re looking for in a live-in carer, or so much more, we’ll always be able to personalise your package of care around your wishes.
-
Emergency care
-
It’s not always possible to predict when you might require care at home. At Helping Hands Topsham, we offer emergency care for those moments when you find yourself needing a bit of extra help at short notice. It might be that your normal carer has suddenly made themselves unavailable, or you’ve experienced a medical setback and aren’t able to undertake your normal chores, tasks and routines. Whatever your reason for requiring emergency care, we’ll generally be able to provide you with one of our brilliant carers within 24 hours of your initial phone call, meaning you won’t have to worry about being left isolated or unsupported.
-
Overnight care
-
Overnight care from Helping Hands gives you the opportunity to have one of our highly-trained carers stay with you throughout the night and provide you and your loved ones with invaluable peace of mind about your well-being and security. The night-time can often be when you’re at your most vulnerable, especially if you’re living alone or are susceptible to frailty and falls. Having an overnight carer means there’ll always be someone there to help you use the bathroom or provide urgent assistance should anything happen to you.
