Receiving a diagnosis of dementia, while answering certain questions you will have had about your health, can also make you feel uncertain for the future. This is because you may need additional care and support as your condition deteriorates and you may not be sure where you can receive answers to all the questions and concerns you have. Helping Hands are a private home care company who have been supporting people living with dementia since we were established in 1989, and we have been specialising in care delivered in our customers’ own homes ever since. We offer bespoke visiting and live-in home care in Sidmouth that can be tailored to your specific needs, and because all of our services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, you and your loved ones can be confident you’ll always be in the very best hands.
Your options for dementia care are varied and we appreciate it can be difficult to know what care you may eventually need and where you’d want to receive it. However, we have found in our decades of delivering dementia care at home that most people respond well to remaining in familiar and comforting surroundings as their dementia progresses. This means that even if you are unable to live independently anymore you can still continue living in the place that contains the most precious memories for you, as well as staying with a partner that you wouldn’t want to leave.
Our expertise in dementia is well documented, which is why we’re considered one of the UK’s leading private dementia home care companies. We have our own team of clinical nurses who manage all our more complex care packages, and they also manage the carers who deliver them. This ensures that we can deliver consistently high standards of care to all of our customers, which is flexible enough to mould around your condition as it changes. Our care is developed to support you to remain as independent as possible in the home you love, and we’ll do all we can to help you achieve that.
Our carers are very special people, but that’s not by accident. We choose our carers very carefully as we want to ensure we find people who have the passion to care for others in their hearts. We’re so proud of the care that they deliver every single day, supporting people who are living with dementia to enjoy their days as much as possible. We provide a comprehensive programme of instruction to our carers, via our initial induction programmes and our inhouse training academy, which builds on their existing experience and helps them develop their skills. This enhanced knowledge can then be utilised in the care that they deliver to their customers at home. We encourage our employees to progress when they wish to, and we’re proud that many of our managers began as carers with us.
