Hospice care in Worcester

You may have been diagnosed with cancer, dementia, or another condition that will mean you’re embarking on a programme of palliative care, but that doesn’t mean the end of your life is around the corner. Many people can live well for months or even years while receiving therapies and treatments to prolong their life and help them to live well. Helping Hands can be part of this programme of wider healthcare, supporting you with practical tasks such as housework, medication, personal care, and much more.

Because we believe in holistic care at Helping Hands – that is, we take care of the whole person, not just the practical aspects of care – we will also be happy to accompany you to your place of worship, getting out into nature, walking the hills near your home, or however you wish to spend your time. We aren’t just there to make sure you eat well and to change your bed linen, although we’ll do that as well, we’re also there to support you emotionally and to make sure that you live as well as possible. Your family will want to focus on making precious memories in the time you have left together, and we can help you do just that by easing the responsibility for practical support from their shoulders.

Our compassionate carers are hand-picked to work for us after going through a rigorous selection process. This ensures that we are choosing the very best people to support our customers through their most difficult times. We also have our own team of clinical nurses who work for Helping Hands and they manage our more complex care packages and select carers for additional instruction and training, depending on their customer’s needs. We build on the initial experience that our carers bring to us, whether that’s in the care industry or not, and design them a bespoke package of training that ensures they develop at the pace they want to. We believe in rewarding people for their hard work and always look to promote from within whenever possible.
