Visiting care and home care in Wokingham

A charming market town on the outskirts of London, Wokingham is full of history, landmarks and has some of the best transport links in the country. Celebrating 800 years of its Market Charter in 2019, this thriving Berkshire suburb has plenty to offer for the young and less young alike. And right at the epicentre of Wokingham is a local branch of Helping Hands, home to some of the best carers in the industry.

Whether you're young and struggling with an injury, or elderly and in need of companionship, our team is on hand to provide all the support you need from as little as 30-minutes per week, to around-the-clock live-in care. We can tailor a package to your requirements which can change as your needs do so that you have complete control over the assistance you receive.

    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.
