Staying in your own home
Stay in your own home with expert care
Specialist care at home gives you bespoke, one-to-one support from an expert carer.
When the need for extra support arises, many believe the only option is a nursing home or residential care home. But there is a real alternative: specialist care in your home from a fully trained carer.
At Helping Hands, we provide the full range of care services in the home, from the round-the-clock support of live-in care through to visiting support when you need it most. We’d love to hear how we can support you to continue living at home and enjoying the lifestyle that you want and deserve.
One-to-one tailored care
Our highly trained handpicked carers specialise in full time, one-to-one support.
At Helping Hands, our wonderful carers are truly passionate about caring and only providing the highest levels of care for elders. We understand that every person has a unique set of support needs, which is why your care plan will always be fully tailored to your requirements and preferences.
Through our carers, we are able to ensure personalised attention and support at all times – whatever type and level of care you need. We understand the importance of promoting and maintaining your regular routines and preferences at home.
The benefits of staying at home for care
At Helping Hands, we’re firm believers that home is the best place to receive the care you need.
There are numerous brilliant benefits to remaining at home to receive the support you require, rather than moving to a residential nursing home or hospice. Here are just some of the ways in which home care can be advantageous:
See family and friends
By having a live-in carer, family and friends can concentrate on spending quality time with you, whenever you like
Continue living with pets
Being able to stay in your own home means your beloved pets can stay at your side, where they belong
Care that suits your needs
You’ll receive a support package that is fully tailored to your personal needs at all times, and can be adapted accordingly
Maintain your routines
You’ll be able to maintain all your normal daily and weekly routines, and eat meals at the times that suit you
Keep up your hobbies
Whether you love gardening, going for walks, playing board games or watching a great film, you can keep up your favourite hobbies
Enjoy familiar surroundings
You’ll be able to continue enjoying all the familiar sights, smells and sounds that you get to experience at home
Allowing couples to remain together
We support couples to stay together in their own homes while receiving dedicated support.
The separation of elderly couples who have been together for decades can be a major cause of anxiety for all concerned. Live-in care or visiting care eliminate the worry and the stress, allowing couples to remain together for life. Even when one person has dementia, you can still stay together with the right support.
There are also excellent cost benefits with this type of arrangement, especially compared to the cost of two beds in residential care.

A care company that understands
Live-in care enables you to stay in your home, living your preferred lifestyle, safe in the knowledge that your carer will be with you every step of the way, supporting you in your daily routines. Whether you’re returning from hospital or if your current care arrangements are just not enough, we can help.

Uniquely, Helping Hands provide a relief carer the day before your main carer takes a break as standard and at no extra cost. This means you can relax and know that all of your needs are understood, and care will continue as normal. This is especially crucial for those with anxiety and memory difficulties.
