Home care in Loughton

If you need an extra pair of hands around the house, some specialist support for your condition, or just somebody to check in and have a chat now and then, our hourly visiting care starts from just 30 minutes per week, so you can receive the support you need as little or often as you wish.

We’ve been providing care visits to homes all over England & Wales for over 30 years. In that time, the conditions, ages and personalities we’ve catered for have continuously broadened. No matter how little or complex, we are experienced, qualified and regulated to provide assistance for adults of all ages, with all manner of conditions, while you stay in control of a flexible care plan tailored to you.  

For full-time support, day or night, we can provide unintrusive care around the clock with the help of our live-in care team. Your live-in carer will be matched to you based on your personality, as well as your condition so that you can continue to live independently with the support of somebody you trust, whenever you need it. 

As opposed to an assisted living facility, live-in care allows you to maintain your own routine in the most comfortable environment. This service offers a much more cost-effective and less restrictive solution to receiving additional support on a full-time basis.

With domiciliary care, you can receive the care you need to maintain an independent lifestyle in the comfort of your own home. With no set meal times or visiting hours, you can enjoy your own routine as you receive the assistance of a highly-trained professional dedicated to you.

With flexible packages tailored to your needs, you’re in control of the frequency and degree of care that we provide as part of your care plan. From making your meals and tidying up around the house, to help with managing your medication and personal care, our team are prepared to undertake the responsibility of doing their utmost to enable an independent and fulfilling lifestyle for you or your loved one.

Unlike a lot of care agencies, our service is monitored and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which isn’t always the case for care agency services. Additionally, all of our staff are directly employed by Helping Hands and their respective branches, with every carer being fully trained internally before they can undertake the care of your loved one.

As the nation’s leading home care provider, we do our utmost to ensure our team is ahead of the rest, and we believe that keeping our carers motivated and feeling valued is where that starts. With ongoing professional development and a commitment to employee wellbeing, we ensure our carers are determined to be the best they can be each day so that your loved one can receive the service they deserve.

Receiving a dementia diagnosis can feel earth-shattering for those afflicted, as well as those close to them. We understand this feeling wholeheartedly as we’ve cared for so many people living with dementia over the past 30 years. Our carers are committed to empathising with you from the diagnosis and throughout the support they provide you with, with immediate assistance guaranteed. 

From receiving the diagnosis to the latter stages of the condition, dementia can be anxiety-inducing throughout, which is why our dementia carers make reducing confusion and delivering compassion a priority during their support, and keeping you at home in the place you feel most familiar and comfortable is paramount to aid this process.

From complex conditions to loneliness, the care we provide for elderly people is always unique to the individual. Our elderly care team are on hand to provide specialist support and/or companionship to your loved one with the compassion and dignity they deserve to continue living independently.

Becoming more frail and less mobile is a natural part of ageing, but so is taking the time to cherish memories and enjoy the privilege of watching your family grow. With the additional support of our elderly carers, we ensure that everything possible is done to maintain your independence, and relieve you of increasingly laborious tasks so that you can focus on enjoying a fulfilling routine.

For those who require care on a temporary, but urgent basis, our respite care team are on hand to provide the support you need, for the timeframe you wish, with the same quality of care and focus on compassion as our regular carers offer.

Whether you need some short-term assistance while you’re in recovery, or an urgent replacement to fill in for your usual support, a Helping Hands respite carer is all that’s required to ensure you can continue living independently for the period where you are in need of some urgent assistance.

With over 30 years of experience in delivering care to the home of local communities throughout England & Wales, we’ve spent a lot of time refining our service to ensure we employ the best people, provide them with the best preparation, and give our customers the very best service.

We recruit just 2% of our applicants, who all go through rigorous background checks and Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screening. Furthermore, all our carers are monitored and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to ensure they adhere to best practice throughout the training for and delivery of our service.
