Lasting Independence with Helping Hands Care at Home
Start the Conversation with your Family Now
It can be tempting to wait until the latest possible hour to arrange support for a loved one. However, this often results in them missing out on a much better standard of life for a longer period of time.
Starting care earlier can provide your loved one with a number of opportunities they might not otherwise enjoy. Our visiting care is designed to ensure your loved one receives consistent, regulated care that addresses any medical conditions they may have and ensures they’re able to enjoy an independent, high-quality lifestyle.
Getting care early helps with:
Quality of life
Enjoy a better quality of life straight away, rather than waiting for month or years to benefit from having a carer
Sharing the responsibility
69% of over-75s wouldn’t want their children to care for them. A carer offers invaluable respite, advice and support.
Long-term wellbeing
Our carers can detect health problems early and offer proactive support and guidance to keep you healthier for longer
Early care could reduce future costs
Starting care early on in your condition can help slow down the rate at which symptoms progress, reducing the amount you may need to spend on care in the future.
Peace of mind
Long-term care gives you and your family peace of mind that you’re being fully supported, and your condition is constantly being monitored
Maintaining independence
Starting long-term care today will mark the start of a renewed sense of independence, as you’ll be able to spend more time doing the things you enjoy

Support from just 30 minutes per week
Choosing care doesn’t have to mean a total change in lifestyle. In fact, our care focuses on enabling people to continue living life on their own terms, whatever that may look like. One of the ways we can help your loved one to adjust to care is to introduce a carer into their lives very gradually. Our visiting care plans start from just 30 minutes per week, providing a perfect opportunity for your loved one to get to know their carer and come to appreciate the potential benefits of having that additional source of support.
