At Helping Hands, we’ve been providing high quality home care to our customers since 1989. In that time, we’ve helped tens of thousands of people to continue living in their own homes through our compassionate, person-centred support. One of the areas of care in which we specialise is respite care, which our home care in Wokingham team are able to offer when your regular caregivers need a break. Respite care allows you to continue living in your own home with the temporary support of an expertly-trained carer, who will be able to ensure you continue to receive the personalised, high-quality support you’d normally expect. Our respite care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC),
Respite care provides an opportunity for those looking after a loved one to take a break from their responsibilities without having to worry about their loved one’s physical and mental wellbeing. Whether you’re going on holiday for a week or two or just need a bit of time off, respite care can be an invaluable source of support for the entire family. We’re able to provide respite care on either a visiting care or a live-in care in Wokingham basis, with packages starting from as little as 30 minutes per week, so it doesn’t matter how big or small your needs are – we can always help.
We appreciate that your respite care needs will be different to everyone else’s, which is why our care experts in Wokingham will always take the time to understand your requirements and preferences when designing your personalised care plan. Perhaps you’re used to your normal carer doing things a certain way, or you’re living with a complex medical condition that requires a particular type of care. Whether you’d benefit from overnight care, live-in care, or just a few hours of weekly visiting care, we can tailor a package of care that gives you full support in the areas you need it most.
Our Wokingham team comprises a wonderful set of carers who have all undergone extensive background checks before joining. When they start with us, every carer receives our industry-leading carer training, which equips them to provide expert support to people with varying needs – ranging from specialist dementia support to assistance with medication, stomas and catheters. This initial training is then supplemented by regular refresher courses, ensuring our carers’ knowledge and skillsets are kept up to date with the latest care industry standards and best practices.
To arrange respite care at short notice, whether for yourself or a loved one, please give our friendly customer support team a call today. Alternatively, you can drop us a message via our website if you’d prefer to request a callback at a time that suits you.
