Visiting care and home care in Westminster

Home care can be an excellent option for anyone who is at a stage of life where they’d benefit from a bit of extra help from day to day but wishes to remain in their own home, rather than moving into residential care. At Helping Hands Westminster, we offer home care on both a visiting and live-in basis, which means that whatever your level of need, we’ll have a care solution for you. Our visiting care starts from as little as 30 minutes per week, and your visits are scheduled around your schedule so that you’re receiving support at the times when you really need it. Live-in care gives you a more comprehensive care offering where you’ll have a carer staying in your home with you around the clock, and is ideal for those with palliative care needs or a complex condition. Whatever type of care you opt for, you can do so knowing that it will be independently regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

    High quality home care in Westminster

    From your very first phone call to our lovely team, we’ll make sure that you and your care needs are at the centre of every decision that’s taken regarding your care plan. We know that no two people have identical care needs, so we take the time to curate a package of care for each individual that gives them the personalised support that they need in order to fully benefit from having a carer. Every aspect of your care will be tailored to the way you need and like things to be done – whether that’s helping you out of bed at a certain time each day, making your tea just the way you like it, assisting with particular personal care routines, keeping your home looking spick and span, and so much more.

    24/7 live in care support

    For those currently receiving visiting care who would now benefit from an extra level of support but don’t wish to leave the home that they love, live-in care in Westminster can be an invaluable source of help. With live-in care, one of our fun, friendly and compassionate carers will come to live with you in your home and offer round-the-clock care and companionship. We know that inviting a stranger to live with you might seem like a big step to take, but our live-in carers truly are wonderful people who often end up becoming truly great friends with their customers. A common misconception with having a live-in carer is that they’ll restrict your freedom and independence, whereas actually the opposite is true. Your live-in carer will provide proactive support with housework, personal care, getting out of the house, socialising, taking care of yourself and so much more, giving you the time and ability to do the things you enjoy with the people you love.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Westminster

    We’re a private care provider rather than a care agency, which means we offer certain guarantees which many agencies don’t. For example, we employ every single one of our carers directly, and provide them with a salary, a pension, employee benefits and job security. This means that you won’t need to worry about handling payments for your carer, and can be confident that you and you alone are their primary concern. We also offer a continuous service, so if your regular carer is taken ill at short notice, we’ll always have someone cover for them – ensuring you’re not left feeling isolated or unsupported.

    Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Westminster

    Our wonderful Westminster carers truly are brilliant people who are exceptional at what they do. We know that the quality and attitude of your carer makes all the difference to your care experience, which is why we have such a stringent recruitment process whereby we only ever hire people who share our company-wide values of kindness, compassion and empathy. Every single Helping Hands carer undergoes extensive background checks to ensure they’re the sort of person you’d be delighted to welcome into your home. Then, when they start with us, they’ll enrol on our industry-leading carer training programme, which equips them to provide a wide range of care services to people with varying needs and wishes. From there, they’ll continue to receive regular refresher courses to ensure they’ve always got up-to-date knowledge and skills.

    FAQs

    Home care in Westminster 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 Westminster 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 Westminster.

    Home care in Westminster 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.
