Helping Hands has dedicated carers supporting people in Blackpool and all across the UK. Our carers are passionate about helping people live the lives they want, regardless of age or health conditions. Every Helping Hands carer receives rigorous training and assessments, so you can have confidence in the quality of our home care services. We are always on-hand to provide reliable support, whether you need visiting care once a week or full-time live-in care. We want you to remain living safely and independently in the place you know and love – your home and community.
Our team providing home care in Blackpool specialises in providing top quality home care to people in the local area. All of our carers are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) or the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and receive ongoing training to develop their skills and knowledge. Here are some of the care services being offered by our Blackpool branch:
Many people in the UK are responsible for caring for a loved one due to age or illness. Caregiving can involve everything from minor assistance with household chores to around-the-clock support. Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but it can also be physically and mentally draining. You must remember to look after yourself and schedule regular breaks to relax, unwind, and recharge your batteries. Our respite care services allow caregivers to hand over their responsibilities to a professional caregiver. This means you can enjoy some well-earned downtime, book a trip abroad, or catch up with family and friends. Our carers receive the highest standards of training, so you can relax knowing that your loved one is in safe hands. We offer a great selection of options when it comes to respite care and we will tailor our service to suit your loved one and their needs.
It is natural for elderly people to require some extra support as they get older. You may notice that an elderly relative finds daily tasks like cooking and cleaning more strenuous, for example. If this is the case, then a carer can be brought in to assist with daily activities. Having this support will enable your elderly loved one to remain living safely at home, without the need to consider residential care. We offer two main types of home care – visiting care and live-in care. Visiting care allows you to choose the level of care required, with visiting care packages starting from as little as 30 minutes a week. On the other hand, live-in care will provide your elderly loved one with around-the-clock support from a team of fully-trained carers.
As leading dementia home care providers, our carers have extensive experience supporting people living with the condition. Helping Hands carers complete our award-winning Dementia Champion programme, which offers unrivaled standards of dementia care. We are also a member of the Dementia Action Alliance and show a commitment to enhancing the lives of people living with dementia in the UK.
Whether you live as a couple, on your own or with your beloved pets, the team will not only provide you with a personalised care plan that is tailored to your individual requirements, but they will hand-select a carer that is the most suited to your personality, hobbies and interests, too. Whether you want to embrace your inner-dancer in the Tower Ballroom, release your adrenaline junkie on the rollercoasters at Pleasure Beach or enjoy a laugh over the Comedy Carpet, you will not just receive a carer; you’ll gain a friend.
We understand that every situation is different and we will use our vast knowledge of the care industry to create a personalised care plan. Our home care services are completely flexible and can be adapted to suit the changing needs of your loved one. All of our carers receive award-winning training to check that they have the skills to provide exceptional professional care. Helping Hands carers also benefit from ongoing training sessions at our very own Centre of Excellence – the first training facility to be endorsed in the UK. We apply our broad experience to provide compassionate care and treat every customer as an individual, with their own unique care needs.
