Are you wondering whether arranging home care in Whitley Bay is the right solution for you? Whether you need additional support for yourself or a loved one, the prospect of seeking home care can be a little daunting. Helping Hands has been a trusted home care provider in the UK for more than 30 years, and in that time we’ve amassed the expertise and experience to make the home care journey the best it can be.
We are certified and routinely monitored by both the Care Quality Commission in England and the Care Inspectorate in Wales (CIW), which means you can depend on our commitment to ongoing quality in our care services. Beyond our many accreditations, however, we feel that it is our carers who make us what we are. We hand select, recruit, and train some of the finest care professionals in the industry, who all share our philosophy for compassionate, customizable care.
At Helping Hands, our hallmark is providing excellent care that can be tailored to fit your unique needs. We know that no two situations are alike, and that care needs not only vary between individuals but also within a single individual, who may need to adjust the support they receive as times goes on. We match you with a carefully chosen carer we know will get to know you on a personal level, and fit right into your familiar daily routines and lifestyle.
They can assist with any number of daily activities to make life a little easier – doing the weekly grocery shop, meal prep, tidying up and housework, helping with personal grooming, washing and dressing, helping with exercise and mobility, or even sorting out pet care or watering the houseplants. The care you receive is determined only by what you need, and when you need it.
Respite care is essentially relief care provided in the event that the normal care worker is unavailable. We are often contacted when a carer falls ill, or has to tend to a family emergency elsewhere. But respite care is also perfect for those occasions where the normal carer simply needs a break so they can recharge their batteries before carrying on with their care duties.
Respite care can be arranged in short notice if you find yourself in a difficult situation, and our respite carer can make sure that everything carries on as normal while you’re away. You can rest assured that your loved one is being properly looked after in your absence, and that everything will be in order on your return.
We all need a little extra help and support as we get older, and many seniors find that certain tasks around the home are simply not as easy as they once were. We can understand that not everybody wants full time nursing or care, however, and that’s why we make a point of offering the degree of elderly support that you are most comfortable with. We can provide a light touch or be more available day to day, depending on what you most need from us.
We can also be an extra pair of hands should you need some help in the days after a hospital procedure, or if you’re recovering from an illness or accident like a fall. We’ll make sure you don’t have to worry about a thing while you get back on your feet again.
Elders living with the symptoms of dementia need special consideration; our carers have extensive training and experience in this area, and are passionate about providing the attention, patience and compassion that those with dementia deserve. We know that dementia is often progressive, and that dementia care needs can be unpredictable. That’s why we prioritize flexible, personalized care that puts your loved one’s needs at the center. Whether you need overnight care for extra security or would like the familiarity and stability that comes with a constant companion at home, our carers are there to do what they can.
We like to think that the many positive testimonials we’ve received from customers over the years are testament to our dedication to offering genuinely caring service. We only work with the finest care professionals in the industry, and handpick those big-hearted individuals we trust to share our passion for making a difference in other people’s lives.
