    Home care Truro

    The team of dedicated carers in Truro can provide one-to-one support in many different ways. What sets them apart is that they tailor your care entirely around you and always focus on your wellbeing and comfort.

    Whether you’re living with Parkinson’s and struggle with cooking and cleaning or if you’re a young person with cerebral palsy and want to keep in touch with your circle of friends – we believe that your care should be unique to you and fit in with who you are as a person.

    Starting from as little as 30-minute visits per week up to several daily calls, we’ll put a package of visiting care in place that suits your routine and requirements. So, if you love going for a stroll along the River Truro or need assistance throughout the day to mobilise around your house safely, the team will find a solution that’s appropriate for you.

    Live-in care in Truro that’s personalised for you

    Live-in care in Truro enables you to have one-to-one care throughout the day and during the night that is entirely bespoke to you. Unlike visiting care, your carer will move into your home and live with you, so even if you have complex care need, you be assured someone will be there to support you.

    Get your independence back with domiciliary care

    Traditionally known as visiting care, domiciliary care takes into account what your preferences are and when you want support delivered to you. That way, you are always in control of the level of care you receive, which can be increased or decreased if necessary.

    You might be struggling to get to the shops to collect your groceries or you may need extra support getting in and out of bed in the morning and evening. Whatever you need help with, the team will work closely with you to find the perfect resolution.

    Dementia care from our specialists

    With more and more people being diagnosed with dementia, there is more of a need than ever for dementia care that is delivered by carers who are expertly trained in supporting those living with the condition. All of our carers have an entire day dedicated to dementia training, where they learn everything from different types of dementia, how to settle any anxieties or worries of an individual or their family, and even a multi-sensory experience that replicates dementia symptoms so that they get a real feel for what it’s like.

    In doing so, you can rest assured that you or your loved one will receive the very best dementia care from the start of their diagnosis all the way through to the later stages of their condition.

    Elderly care for your senior years

    The Truro team have a wealth of experience when it comes to elderly care, and if you know that you need a bit of extra help but are unsure specifically what you need help with, they’ll instantly put your mind at ease and talk through the different options available to you.

    If you need support with personal care and gentle reminders to take medication or apply creams, then we’ll make sure you’re supported in a dignified and respectful way. Additionally, we can support you with watering your plants, assisting you to cook meals or even accompanying you to Truro Farmers’ Market to buy local crafts and produce.

    Respite care for a short-term solution

    Everyone deserves a holiday, and if you receive care from a relative or friend it’s really important that you can enjoy some quality time together without any impact on your care. With a respite carer, they can accompany you with your family or carer to your chosen destination and be on hand to take care of all of your needs so that you can all enjoy a real break.

    If you’ve recently been in hospital following a fall or injury or you need a last-minute care arrangement, respite care could be the relief you’re looking for. We have carers available to come in and provide quality care at the drop of a hat – often on the same day that you enquire with us – so that’ll you’ll never be left without any support regardless of your situation.

    Friendly, compassionate carers in Truro

    What sets our carers apart is their willingness to go the extra mile for their customers whilst continuing to deliver quality care with a smile. It’s these attributes that we look for when recruiting our carers, as it’s not something that can be taught; it’s innately within them.

    To ensure they’re equipped to handle any care scenario in the field, our carers receive award-winning training on modules that cover mobility, first aid, medication, equality and diversity, safeguarding and personal care. That way, we can guarantee quality of care to our customers within their homes that is of the same high standards across our 155+ branches nationwide.

    As with all regulated care companies, we are closely monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who ensure we are fully-compliant with industry guidelines. We are also a founding member of the Homecare Association (HCA), who encourage sharing of best practice and promotes high standards of care at home for people across the UK.

    FAQs

    Home care in Truro 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 Truro 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 Truro.

    Home care in Truro 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.
