Home care in Wombourne

Whether you’d prefer visiting care from just 30 minutes a week, perhaps for some help with housework, a walk in the local park or a friendly cup of tea and a chat, we can support you. Our carers are dedicated to ensuring that you get the help you need to live your life to the fullest, so whether it’s vacuuming or meal preparation, personal care or medication, we’ll be there to provide visiting home care.

Your live-in carer can be as involved in your life as you want them to be. You might like someone keeping you company around the clock or you may prefer your carer keeping a lower profile, but whichever is your preference we will always respect it. Your live-in carer will know when to give you space or when you want them right by your side so never worry that your house won’t feel like your own anymore. Live-in care is there to help you achieve the life you want while remaining in the home you love, so it will always complement your lifestyle, not dominate it.

Traditional home care agencies mostly work on an introductory basis; you pay them a fee and they ‘introduce’ you to a carer who they feel will suit your needs. While this kind of service may suit some people, you will often have to take on the role of employer for that carer, with all the associated costs and worries of ensuring they are fully compliant with UK employment regulations. Helping Hands isn’t an agency; as opposed to other agencies, we directly employ all of our carers so that all you have to think about is being taken care of and all your carer needs think about is your wellbeing.

When dementia is diagnosed it can be a worrying and uncertain time for both the person and their loved ones, however we can help. We’ve been a dementia specialist for over 30 years and we really know how to support people living with Alzheimer’s, vascular and many other forms of the disease. Having to move into uncertain surroundings can make confusion and anxiety worse in some cases, so why not remain at home and receive the highest standards of dementia care?

If you’re not sure whether having someone come to your home and care for you is what you want, why not consider respite care for a few days to see how it makes you feel? Alternatively, respite care can be perfect if your regular carer needs to take a break, your family are planning a holiday or if you need support in an emergency. In the most urgent of cases, we can have care in your home within 24 hours, so if you need care in the short-term, talk to us.

As we age, we often find that we slow down a little or that tasks we used to tackle with aplomb are now beyond us. If that’s the case, why not have some elderly care from the team in Wombourne? Your carer can support you with every aspect of your daily life including personal care, mobility support, meal preparation, medication, housework and supporting you in the community. If that’s not enough then they’ll happily sit and have a natter over a cup of tea too!

Our carers are really at the heart of what we do at Helping hands, if it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be able to provide the excellent levels of care we do for our thousands of customers. Therefore, our carers are supported from the moment they join us and throughout their career, with excellent training, development opportunities and very real promotion prospects. We look after our customers too though; ensuring our carers’ references are followed up and they are DBS screened before ever being allowed in our customers’ homes. That way you and your loved ones can be sure that only the people who should be in your home are there. We are also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, meaning that our standards of care are completely second to none.
