Home care in Westminster
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).

Regional Care Director
As the Regional Care Director, it is my role to lead a hugely skilled care team operating in London, Essex and the South East, ensuring the highest levels of care are being delivered to our customers on a daily basis. We have a large branch network equipped to deal with all your hourly care needs, and I am also the Registered Manager with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for our live-in program, where we are set up to support you on a more permanent basis. I am inspired on a daily basis by the true lengths my colleagues go to, to ensure that customers can continue to live long, healthy lives from the comfort of their own homes. This is one of the main reasons that inspired me to join care.

Other care we provide
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 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.
