Our specialty at Helping Hands is care that is completely personalized to you and your unique care needs. We know that no two situations are the same, so we always begin by trying to understand your personality, preferences, and habits so we can best anticipate the support you most need from us. Broadly, we can offer either live-in care or visiting care, where we come to your home at fixed intervals starting from as little as half an hour per week.
We also provide respite care for shorter periods, emergency care that can begin within 24 hours of you getting in touch with us, overnight care, nurse-supported care or care that focuses on your unique health needs. The service you receive can include help with ordinary household tasks like cleaning, cooking, and pet care, but also assistance with mobility, personal grooming tasks like washing and dressing, or sorting out prescriptions and daily medications.
Respite Care in Windsor
Our respite care services are designed for those people seeking temporary care in the event that the normal carer is not available. We know that sometimes plans do change, but that doesn’t mean that your loved one shouldn’t continue to receive the care they’re used to. If you’re a carer who’s fallen ill, or needs to take a few days to sort out a family emergency, we’re at hand to make sure everything at home runs smoothly, so you have one less thing to worry about.
Naturally, carers also need time now and again to go on holiday or take a break to recharge their batteries, and respite care is a great choice in that case. Alternatively, respite care can be a godsend over busy holiday periods, after surgery or in the days and weeks after an illness, where it’s useful to have a few extra hands on deck.
Elderly Care from Helping Hands
While moving to a residential care home facility is always an option, we understand that not every senior feels this is appropriate for them, especially if they value their independence and love the homes they live in. We feel that elderly home care works so well because you can decide on the level of care that suits you best, whether that’s a weekly visit for a cup of tea and a little help around the house, or daily live-in care that provides more comprehensive support.
Windsor Dementia Care
Elders living with dementia naturally have more specific care needs that we are more than happy to accommodate in any way we can. The physical, mental and emotional symptoms of conditions such as Alzheimer’s are best supported by those with the right professional experience and training. While our dementia carers are all very different people, they have in common the genuine desire to offer comfort, reassurance and companionship to those who need it most, and serve as a source of familiarity and stability in what can be a very disorienting condition.
