Once you’ve received a diagnosis of dementia it’s presumed that all of the uncertainty will be behind you, however being diagnosed will also throw many questions into the equation, such as ‘will I eventually need care?’ and ‘Will I have to leave my home?’ One way that Helping Hands can reassure you and your loved ones is by offering exceptional dementia care and home care in Yorkshire, meaning you get to remain in the familiar and comforting place you’ve always felt happy, and your loved ones know you’ll have ample support to do so. We’ve been supporting people living with dementia to continue living in their precious homes since we were founded in 1989, and since then thousands of people have been able to avoid going into residential or nursing care as they’ve received dedicated one-to-one care and support at home. Our home care services are regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, meaning you and those close to you can be reassured by our superb care delivery, every single day.
We’ve never believed in a ‘one size fits all’ approach to care delivery, putting our customers at the centre of their support experience for the duration of their dementia journey. We do this for everyone, regardless of the condition they’re living with, but this is even more crucial when living with dementia, as the person needs to feel safe, comfortable, and in familiar surroundings to keep anxiety to a minimum. It’s important to have a chat with loved ones, family members, and decision makers early so that they know your wishes for eventual care, and so these can be carried out with the knowledge that it’s what you want, where you want to be. Our packages of care are designed for each of our customers so that they get to live life as close to their ideal as possible, with flexibility at the core so that they can be adapted as your needs and requirements change. This way, every aspect of your routine is carried out with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Our carers make amazing happen for so many of our customers every day – from helping them to explore their local area, visit exciting far-flung places, or achieve something at home. They undertake a range of tasks that will help you to live your very best life throughout your dementia journey, whether it’s your personal care, medication, mobility, housework, or preparing nutritious meals. We only take people on as carers who exhibit natural qualities of compassion and kindness – after all, we can give someone all the practical skills needed to be an excellent carer, but we can’t train people to care from the heart; they either do or they don’t. And to reassure you and your loved ones that not just anyone is entering your home we carefully check their background, references, and DBS results too.
You can chat to our friendly customer care team online or over the phone, seven days a week, to discover more about our exceptional dementia care services across Yorkshire. You can also discover the location of your nearest branch here or you can request we call you back for a time to suit you.
