Visiting care and home care in Wirral

Situated between Liverpool and North Wales, the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral is home to a number of fantastic walks and outdoor activities. However, being able to take advantage of these activities can be difficult if you are in need of some extra support; that’s why we have a dedicated team of Helping Hands carers in the area to help you to live independently - both at home and out in your local community.

With a Helping Hands carer, you or your loved one can receive an exceptional standard of care tailored especially to their requirements. All care packages are flexible and can change in line with your needs at any time, from weekly visits to full-time live-in care.

Furthermore, our Wirral branch is recognised as a Disability Confident Committed Employer to ensure our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible. It is essential to increase awareness, which is why we employ individuals without discrimination.

    Live-in care Wirral - tailored to your needs

    When the need for more intensive support arises, the idea of moving into residential care can create a number of uncertainties and anxieties that could be immediately alleviated by live-in care in Wirral. With a carer living with you in your home, we’ll be there to provide round-the-clock support without the need for sticking to set mealtimes, menus, visits or activities.

    We’ll get to know you and your preferences, including finding the perfect live-in carer that shares many of your personality traits, hobbies and interests. So if you used to be a farmer, we’ll find someone who has previously worked with animals too.

    Better Than a Care Agency Wirral

    Helping Hands are a care agency provider which means you can confidently expect certain standards from us when it comes to your home care. Being a private care provider means we employ our carers directly and take full responsibility for their income and their wellbeing. Often, care agencies will ask you – the customer – to handle payments to your carer and will land you with all sorts of hidden fees and unwanted paperwork. At Helping Hands, we’re all about making your care journey as stress-free as possible, so by making our carers’ wellbeing a priority we allow them to focus their time and energy on providing you with the very best care possible. All of our carers are fully trained to provide you with flexible, bespoke home care that meets whatever needs you might have, and from meal choices to bedtimes, your care plan will always be personalised to your preferences.

    Award-winning training for our Wirral home carers

    Built on a foundation of family values, we know exactly what is needed to train home carers to an exceptional standard. All of our carers complete a comprehensive training course in our bespoke training facility in Warwickshire, where we deliver induction and refresher training covering manual handling, first aid, safeguarding and medication administration.

    Following a fine-tuned recruitment process, each of our carers receive full background checks, including Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screenings. All of our carers are employed directly by us – so you don’t need to worry about any additional paperwork.

    Thanks to the commitment and compassion of our amazing carers, support staff and managers, we are proud to be the first and only home care provider to be recognised as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care. We are also fully licensed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), so we always adhere to strict guidelines and regulations to ensure that we meet the highest standards in the industry.

    FAQs

    Home care in Wirral 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 Wirral 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 Wirral.

    Home care in Wirral 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.
