For over 30 years now, Helping Hands has been one of the UK’s most trusted home care providers. If you’re considering seeking out home care either for yourself or a loved one, we know how important it is to take your time, and ensure you’re getting your loved ones the care they deserve. Though there are several options for home care in Aintree today, we like to believe that our commitment to truly flexible and personalized care puts us in a class of our own. Helping Hands is CQC accredited and we’re also the only home care agency in the country to be given the title of Centre of Excellence, an accolade we’re extremely proud of.
When you first contact Helping Hands, we’ll work closely with you to understand your needs, your limitations, and your unique lifestyle so we can best support you in the way you need. That may entail visiting care for a few days a week, or it could mean more comprehensive live-in care where a carer is with you round-the-clock, including overnight care if necessary.
The care you receive depends on your needs. Our carers are fully-trained, compassionate and practical people who will help you sort out grocery shopping and cooking, assist with daily grooming tasks like showering and dressing, arrange medications, get the housework done or even help with things like pet care or occasional errands. We know that practical support is just the start, though – our carers are always on hand to provide friendly companionship and emotional reassurance. We take the time to get you know you on a personal level, and understand that sometimes what’s most needed is a friendly chat in the kitchen over a cup of tea.
We offer flexible respite care options for those who already have a carer in place, but who occasionally need someone to fill in for them. This could be due to the ordinary carer falling ill, going on holiday or simply needing to step away for a few hours while they tend to a family emergency. We are here for you, and can send just the right carer to your home to make sure that the day’s activities go on as normal, for as long as you need us. You can rest assured that everything will be in order when you return.
It’s understandable that with age, certain everyday activities and tasks can become a little more challenging than usual, especially if mobility is limited or if there are chronic health conditions. On the other hand, we also know that while some seniors may need a little extra assistance, they still enjoy their independent lifestyles and want to stay in the homes they love. Elderly home care is an excellent alternative to residential home care and can be tailored around your unique lifestyle habits, preferences and routines. Our carers work around you and empower you to live the life you want to live, where you’re happiest, whether that’s for a few hours a week or on a more continuous basis.
Caring for those who are living with the symptoms of dementia can be challenging, especially considering that the condition is often unpredictable, and care needs can change from day to day and even moment to moment. Our carers have a special interest in dementia support, and will work hard to provide care that is both compassionate and professional, so you can feel secure in the knowledge that your loved one is in good hands. Dementia care delivered at home offers more continuity of care, more personalized attention and more flexibility than moving to a specialist care facility.
At Helping Hands, we believe that our carers are our strength, and it’s the reason we work so hard to recruit and train only the best professionals in the industry. Our carers come from all walks of life, but the thing they have in common is a genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of the people they care for, every day.
Are you considering care for yourself or a family member? We know the process can be daunting, but we’re here to answer any questions. We’re more than happy to have a chat about exactly what Helping Hands Aintree can do to make you and your family’s life a little easier.
