What is a Private Carer?

A private carer is a dedicated professional who offers one-to-one support in your home. If you’re looking for home care in York, whether for yourself or a loved one, a private carer can provide the compassionate, expert help you need to maintain your independence and continue living in the home you love. At Helping Hands, we directly recruit, vet, train, and employ all our carers, ensuring they meet our high standards. The reason we only ever use our own carers, rather than a third party’s, is because we want to be absolutely certain they’re going to possess the compassionate personality and exceptional training that we believe are essential in a carer. And, for your total peace of mind, every aspect of our support is independently regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).

 

What can a Private Carer help with?

We know that no two people have identical care journeys, which is why we never adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to care. A private carer can support you in various ways to suit your own personal requirements and circumstances. We’re able to provide both visiting care and live-in care in York, depending on your type and level of needs. Whether you need specific support for a complex condition or would simply like someone to pop by a few times a week to lend a hand with chores and personal care, the decision is entirely up to you. And, as your circumstances change, your carer will be alongside you every step of the way to help you adapt, ensuring you never feel alone or unsupported.
