Home care in Barnsley
Visiting care and home care in Barnsley
Similar to other south Yorkshire towns, Barnsley’s heritage lies within the coal mining and glass making industries of the past, all of which is showcased at Barnsley’s very own museum. Amongst it’s rich historical past, there are plenty to keep a variety of different generations occupied – from the hustle and bustle of the high street shops in the town centre to the tranquil surroundings of Monk Bretton Priory, there really is something for everyone. Adding to Barnsley’s variety of services is a brand-new branch of Helping Hands Home Care, who offer everything from dementia care to respite care to anyone in need over the age of 18 and beyond. Helping Hands are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who ensure we are delivering safe, effective and responsive home care, training and looking after our carers properly and have good leadership in place.

Branch Care Manager
It is my responsibility to ensure that our customers, staff and stakeholders receive a great experience from Helping Hands and that they also get the best care, support and service delivery possible. I have always cared about people and had a passion from an early age to follow in the footsteps of my mum to become a care/support worker after seeing the job satisfaction that working in care gave her. I can't wait to start working with like-minded people whose passion is care and kindness to others; together we will deliver! I love spending time with family and friends. I have a husband and a young son Kaya, who has Aspergers - he keeps me on my toes! I love cooking, especially for family and friends. My hobbies are swimming, reading, going out with friends and watching a good drama series.

Other care we provide
Bespoke home care Barnsley
Helping Hands are industry leaders in home care and have over 30 years of experience supporting people with a wide range of needs, including complex health conditions. Here are some of the care services being offered at our Barnsley branch.
Our Barnsley carers will take the time to get to know your loved one and match them with a dedicated carer who will suit their needs and preferences. We specialise in providing the highest standards of professional home care and our goal is to help people live well on their terms, despite any health conditions they face.
Live-in care for round-the-clock assistance
Live in care in Barnsley will be there to support you in a way that is purposeful to you, and enable you to live a comfortable life in the familiarity of your own home, rather than taking over and doing things in a way that isn’t mindful to you or your personal space.
We understand how it can be quite a lot to get used to when accepting someone new into your home, especially if they are living with you. But we’ll take the time to get to know you and what’s meaningful to you, so that we can select a carer that has experience in your care needs and who shares similar hobbies and personality traits to you. You may even find that your carer becomes more of a friend or perhaps an extended member of the family, there to support you through the good and not so good times and help you to achieve all the things you want to.
Better than a home care agency in Barnsley
Caring for others is our speciality, and with over 30 years’ experience we really do know what it takes to provide person-centred support to anyone in need of an extra helping hand.
The advantage of not being a care agency, means the ball is very much in your court – you can decide what you have support with and the visiting times that suit you when we create your support plan with you. That way, you get the very best out of your care package without feeling like you’re being dictated to or that someone is taking over.
Care at home covers a whole host of different things, starting with help with practical tasks such as shopping, preparing meals, cleaning and the laundry. If you find you need extra help with bathing and getting dressed, we can help with all elements of personal care too.
As with any other reputable care provider, being monitored by the CQC means that you can have faith in the care you or a loved one is receiving as it is adhering to industry standards and is regularly inspected by the governing body for care in England.
Friendly and professional private carer in Barnsley
Our spirit and empathy really does come down to our wonderful private carers, who go above and beyond their duty every day. The lengths they go to to ensure that all of our customers are safe and looked after in their homes is exceptional, and part of this is down to how we select our carers before they join us. We don’t necessarily look for people with lots of previous care experience; our aim is to find those who are compassionate about looking after others and genuinely do care because everything else can be taught, but those qualities can’t.
After receiving an enhanced Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) check along with several character references, our new recruits undergo our award-winning training programme, learning the practical skills and policies that they must adhere to when out in the field.
Training modules cover manual handling, dementia, personal care, first aid, safeguarding and more, with regular refresher courses taking place throughout the year for all of our staff.
