Visiting care and home care in Wetherby

Midway between London and Edinburgh, Wetherby has been an important staging post on the Great North Road for centuries. Named as one of the ‘best places to live in Northern England’ by the Sunday Times in 2018, Wetherby is a historic town with much heritage to its name. Famous former inhabitants include American actor Clark Gable who was stationed at nearby RAF Marston Moor as a USAAF Captain during the Second World War.

With over 30 years of history under our belts, Helping Hands is enjoying unprecedented growth and expanding further into areas we’ve been involved in for many years. Being able to support more people in the Wetherby and surrounding areas means that our expert visiting and live-in care can benefit even more lives, so if you or your loved ones are looking for excellent care at home, talk to us today.

    Better than a care agency in Wetherby

    Our fully managed care service is just one way that Helping Hands is better than a care agency, and the value we place on our carers and their wellbeing is another. We believe that if our carers are happy they’ll be extra motivated to support their customers to live their best lives possible, therefore safeguarding your wellbeing and ensuring you get the very highest standards of care delivered to you within your own home.

    Emergency care

    When care is needed in an emergency it can be a stressful time for the person and their loved ones, however it doesn’t need to be that way thanks to Helping Hands’ dedicated carers and exceptional levels of short-term care. You may not want to go into residential care, even for the short-term, so if you are being unexpectedly discharged from hospital or you’re recovering from an accident, our carers come to you whenever you need them. Perhaps your regular carer needs to take a break, so even if you only need us temporarily, we can usually be with you within 24 hours.

    Private care in Wetherby

    Helping Hands has been a private homecare company since we were launched in 1989, which means that over 30 years later you can be sure of we’re still delivering exceptional standards of care, or we wouldn’t still be around. You’re always in control of your own care with us, from the moment you first contact us to your daily interaction with your carer. Your bespoke package of care will be designed with you at the centre and your personalised support plan will guide how you like your routines followed, every single day.

    Overnight care

    Needing care around the clock can cause people to think they have no choice other than to move into residential accommodation due to the pressures placed on family members or existing carers who are already caring for them during the day. However, with overnight care from Helping Hands, you can receive a continuation of your routine throughout the hours of darkness, due to our expertise in both visiting and live-in care. You need never feel alone or vulnerable when you have one of our compassionate carers by your side.

    FAQs

    Home care in Wetherby 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 Wetherby 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 Wetherby.

    Home care in Wetherby 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.
