Bringing you warmth this summer Compassionate short-term support

Bringing you warmth this summer
Respite home care gives everyone the break they need

Heart-warming respite care at home can give the whole family the break they need this summer. Short-term home care from Helping Hands allows your loved one to maintain their normal lifestyle, routines and hobbies at home, whilst benefitting from expert support and heart-warming companionship.

How can short-term care help your loved one?

We all need to take time to relax and recharge. This summer, let our carers look after your loved one while you get away for a while. Our carers all receive expert training in a number of areas such as:

Mobility support at home
All of our carers are trained to provide mobility support so we can help your loved one move around their home.
Ongoing companionship
A carer can pop over for a cup of tea or spend an evening with your loved one watching their favourite film
Help getting out the home
Whether your loved one likes getting out into their community, going shopping or visiting friends, a carer can accompany them
Personal care
Visiting and live-in carers can provide discreet, personal help with routines such as toileting, grooming and dressing
Housekeeping
A carer can help your loved one around the home with daily tasks such as cleaning, doing the laundry and tidying up
Light medical support
Your loved one’s carer can assist with catheter care, PEG feeding, suppositories, stomas, and other light medical needs

Respite care for all occasions

Whatever your reasons for needing respite care, we’d love to hear how we can bring warmth to you and your family this summer. Some of the most common instances in which we provide respite care are:

Peace of mind during the family holiday
No-one wants to feel guilty about leaving a loved one at home. Having a carer to check in on elderly parents and offer support and companionship allows you to travel with peace of mind.
Managing a medical condition
If Mum or Dad are living with a chronic medical condition that requires regular monitoring and professional care, you can leave them in the kind and capable hands of our wonderful carers
Recovering after surgery
When an elderly family member is recovering from recent surgery, specialised care and support on a short-term basis can go a long way to ensuring they make a full and speedy recovery
