Since 1989, Helping Hands have been supporting people up and down the nation to maintain their independence and continue enjoying the quality of life they deserve through our compassionate, person-centred home care services. In that time, we’ve supported tens of thousands of families through what can be a very stressful and unsettling time. One of the areas of care in which we specialise is live-in care, which involves having one of our friendly Crowborough carers come to live with you and provide round-the-clock support and companionship.
Live-in care is a great option for anyone who is currently receiving care – either from loved ones or from a visiting carer – but now requires an additional level of support to manage from day to day. Traditionally, the natural next step for people in this situation might have been to move into residential care, but a popular option nowadays is to instead remain in the warm familiar surroundings of the family home and have a live-in carer come to provide expert, one-to-one support instead. Live-in care is a viable care option for people with a wide array of needs – whether you’re living with a complex condition, such as a type of dementia or cancer, or are experiencing loneliness and need a trusted companion nearby.
At Helping Hands, we’ve been providing dedicated home care services for long enough to know that a one-size-fits-all approach to care is much less effective than a personalised approach. That’s why, when you opt for live-in care in Crowborough, we’ll make sure every step of your care journey is designed around your personal needs and preferences. Whether it’s the really big details, such as a condition you might be living with or certain mobility needs you may have, or smaller details such as your preferred bed times and how you take your tea, we love making sure you’re able to continue living life on your own terms and to your preferred schedule. We’ll even help match you with a live-in carer who shares your personality, likes and interests, so that you’ll be able to genuinely enjoy their company as well as benefitting from the practical and physical support they provide.
We’re extremely proud of our wonderful carers in Crowborough, who truly are at the heart of everything that our customers love about the support we provide. Every single one of our carers has been selectively recruited for their kind and compassionate personalities, and has undergone numerous background checks before starting with us to ensure they’ll be a perfect fit for us and for you. When they start with us, all new carers enrol on our industry-leading carer training programme, where they’re equipped to deliver a wide range of care services to people with varying needs. This initial training is then reinforced by regular refresher courses, ensuring each carer’s knowledge and skillset are constantly kept up to date.
If you’d like to find out more about live-in care from our Crowborough team, please don’t hesitate to give us a call today. We’re available to talk to seven days a week, and will always be happy to talk through your options or arrange a home visit from your local care manager in Crowborough. Alternatively, you can contact us via our website if you’d rather schedule a callback at a time that suits you.
