Our team providing Home Care in Colchester are proud to offer supported living on both a visiting care and live-in care basis, depending on the type and level of your needs. Since 1989, Helping Hands have been supporting people across England and Wales to continue living comfortably, securely and independently in the familiar surroundings of their own home. We firmly believe that when the need for additional support arises, remaining at home to receive it is almost always the best option as it allows you to have one-to-one support that is designed around your personal needs and wishes. Our Colchester carers are all expertly trained to assist you around your home in whatever ways you might need, with visits starting from as little as 30 minutes per week – all independently regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Supported living at home is a great option for anyone who is at a stage where they’re no longer able to fully look after themselves, but don’t wish to move out of the home they love and into a residential care home. You’ll be provided with a carer who has received specialist, nurse-led training that equips them to provide a wide array of physical, practical and emotional support services around the home. Whether you need help managing the symptoms of a complex condition, require discreet personal care, or would benefit from having someone do the housekeeping and prepare meals, our carers can assist with all of the above – and much more.
Our Colchester team’s approach to supported living is to create a bespoke care plan that is completely designed around your personal needs and wishes. That way, you know you’re getting value for your money, and won’t ever be left feeling isolated or unsupported. We’ll make sure your carers fully understand the way you like things to be done around the home – whether that’s how you take your tea, what time you like to get up and go to bed, or if you need specific support for a medical condition. And, should your needs change with time, we’ll be able to recommend appropriate changes to your support. Explore our live in care in Colchester today.
Because we’re so particular about who we recruit, we end up hiring only the very best people to our care teams – and our Colchester branch is no different. We believe that personality and attitude are far more important than experience, so we focus on recruiting carers who are kind, compassionate and dedicated to their roles. All of our carers undergo enhanced-DBS checks before starting with us, and will then receive comprehensive training which covers modules such as dementia care, mobility support, medication assistance and health and safety.
