Visiting care and home care in Widnes

Perhaps you’re a rugby league fan but struggle to get to St Helens stadium to watch the match, or you may enjoy strolls along the River Mersey but don’t feel able to do this alone. That’s where our Widnes care team can step in because care is so much more than just the practicalities; we’ll be there to support you with your hobbies and general wellbeing, too.

Home care from our Widnes team can either be in the form or short regular calls via our visiting care service, or a full-time arrangement for more complex health needs with live-in care. Both options don’t just enable you to stay in the familiar surroundings of your own home, but allow you choice and independence, giving you complete autonomy with your own package of care.

Handpicked carers

We only employ those special people with the right levels of patience, empathy, and compassion to care for you as we'd want our own families to be cared for.

Supporting families

When finding care becomes a decision for the wider family, we can help you consider your options. We keep in touch once care is in place so we can adapt care as needs change.

Extra support with home care in Widnes

Visiting care is designed to be flexible and adaptable to you and your requirements – whether you’re in your twenties living with cerebral palsy and need help to get to and from work, or if you’re in your eighties and need daily assistance with getting dressed and walking your dog. We won’t prescribe care to you or take over and do everything; we’ll do things at your pace and in a way that’s meaningful to you, so that you get the very best out of your care support.

Our team in Widnes are able to support you from as little as 30 minutes per week up to several hours during one call, so that you feel safe and secure at home with assistance to suit you. This may be in the form of a daily 30-minute call to check in on you and make you your lunch, ensuring you’re not feeling lonely or blue. Or this may be an hour’s call three times a day to assist you with getting out of bed, washing and mobilising safely around your home. Whatever your requirements are, we can provide the friendly and professional care that Helping Hands are known for throughout the country.

24-hour support in Widnes with live-in care

Live-in care in Widnes is a direct alternative to moving into a care or nursing home, where you can still stay surrounded by the familiarity of the smells and possessions in your home, as well as living with a partner or pet.

Receiving care from the same dedicated carer means that you don’t have to keep getting used to different staff and shift changes; you can relax in their company, knowing that they have all of your support needs taken care of and in a way that you like them done.

Domiciliary care for extra independence

Also known as home care, the traditional term of domiciliary care describes short, regular visits to support you at home with activities of daily living, such as keeping on top of domestic duties, personal care, shopping and preparing meals. This type of care is great for those who are perhaps resistant to having someone they don’t know come to their home or who are, and have been, fiercely independent their entire lives, but need a little extra helping hand here and there now that they’ve reached their senior years. Our Widnes team will take everything at your pace, allowing you to call the shots of your care, rather than taking over and doing everything for you.

Dementia care for specialist support after a diagnosis

It’s not easing receiving a dementia diagnosis for yourself or a loved one. It may be something that has come out of the blue, or perhaps it’s something you realised could be the case but didn’t want to admit to yourself and others. Regardless of the type of dementia you or a family member has or which stage you’re at, the Widnes Helping Hands team are specially trained to deliver bespoke dementia care that caters to all of your current and changing needs.

We understand how distressing dementia can be not just for the individual but for their family, too. That’s why we involve the loved ones of someone with dementia as much as we can when providing care, but always putting the individual first in their care plan, ensuring their choices and preferences are maintained throughout.

Elderly care in Widnes

There are lots of great things about getting older; being able to retire, relax and fill your days with what you want to do, as well as seeing grandchildren and family. But for some, there comes additional health concerns that may mean you need a little extra support at home. This could be assistance with things you’re not as able to do physically, such as changing the beds, taking the bins out or a steady hand to shave or put on makeup. Elderly care from the Widnes team means that we can assist you with all of those things and so much more, so that you can live a happy and fulfilled life nearby to loved ones and in your own home.

Temporary support with respite care

Respite care can be delivered to someone for a whole host of different reasons; perhaps you’re a full-time carer for a loved one and you need to take a break to rest and recharge your batteries? You may need additional support to go away on holiday but without having to rely on a family member to provide your care whilst you’re away. Or you may have just been discharged from hospital and require urgent support to help you convalesce safely at home. Whatever your temporary care requirements are, our Widnes team can help. What’s more, if you need emergency care and are not sure where to turn, we can be with you usually within 24 hours of your initial enquiry, giving you the extra reassurance that you’re in safe hands.
