    Home care Wokingham

    It’s no coincidence that Helping Hands has been at the forefront of the home care industry for the past 30 years. We know exactly what it takes to provide care directly to you that caters for all of your needs, whilst enabling you to ‘live well’ with a condition instead of ‘suffer from’.

    The team at the Wokingham branch are able to cater for a variety of different conditions from multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease and cerebral palsy to Parkinson’s, arthritis and stroke. And whether you’ve recently been diagnosed or you’ve had a lifelong condition, we’ll get to know you, your symptoms and your preferred way of being cared for.

    Home care from Helping Hands is led entirely by you because after all, we’re here to enable you, not take over completely. If you struggle to make your meals but still like to help with preparing the food, we’ll make sure that you’re always involved when you want to be so that you feel empowered and as independent as possible.

    Live-in care for round-the-clock support

    As the name suggests, live-in care in Wokingham is when a professional carer comes to live with you in your home to take care of you whenever you need them. Whether it’s for respite while your regular caregiver takes a break, for a bit of extra support for both of you if you’re living as a couple, or if your care needs have recently changed – a live-in carer could be the perfect solution that enables you to receive top quality care whilst remaining in the comfort of your own home.

    Maintaining your health and wellbeing is of the utmost importance to us, which includes both your physical and psychological state. So, if you fancy going for a wander around Holme Grange Craft Village or would just like to go for a gentle stroll in your local park, your live-in carer will be right there with you.

    Award-winning training for carers in Wokingham

    We’re extremely proud of our strong work force of experienced, dedicated and passionate carers and we wouldn’t be the nation’s leading home care provider without them. That’s why we’ve worked hard to ensure they receive the very best training that covers manual handling, first aid, equality and diversity, dementia and safeguarding. Not only has our training programme been recognised as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, but we insist that all of our carers go on regular refresher training to keep up to date with the latest in care practice.

    As a care provider, Helping Hands adheres to strict regulations set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and we work tirelessly to ensure our practices are safe, responsive and professional. We are also closely aligned with Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) and Spinal Injuries Alliance (SIA), who support those living with the respective conditions.

    Domiciliary care that puts you in control

    Domiciliary care is tailored entirely around you so that you are always in control of what type of care you receive and when you receive it. If you just need someone to pop in once a week for an hour to help with light household duties, or if you require several calls throughout the day to help you get around the house with the assistance of a standing aid – that’s exactly what we can do for you, and so much more.

    Care isn’t always just for the elderly; we also assist many young people from the ages of 18 to 65 to lead an independent lifestyle, despite the condition that they’re living with. We can even support you getting to and from work or your place of study if you struggle with travel arrangements, and if you’d prefer to refer to your carer as a personal assistant or support worker, then that’s absolutely fine.

    FAQs

    Home care in Wokingham 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 Wokingham 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 Wokingham.

    Home care in Wokingham 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.
