Home care in Halifax

Our amazing team of carers have been providing person-centred care to thousands of individuals in their own homes for over 30 years. Whether you are struggling with your mobility and would like some support when you go out into the community, or you are living with a complex condition and you require more intensive support throughout the day – home care can make a real difference to your quality of life and wellbeing.

Whether you need 30-minute drop-ins to help you around the house or more regular support throughout the day and night, we’ll work with you to provide a personalised care plan that gives you the support you need to feel safe and independent at home. With dedicated home care in Halifax that is unobtrusive and bespoke to your needs, we’ll pop in whenever you need us so that you feel fully supported with no compromise to your independence.

We understand that care needs can often be unpredictable, so if your care needs change or your symptoms develop, we’ll ensure that your care plan is always flexible so that we can quickly adapt to your needs as and when they change. What’s more, we’ll always work collaboratively with you and your loved ones so that the control of your care is always exactly where it should be – in your hands.

Traditional home care agencies often require their carers to be self-employed and demand introductory fees from their customers to match you with the carer in question. Helping Hands is not an agency and therefore all our carers are directly employed by us, meaning neither of you have to worry about employment legalities or ‘finder’s fees’. We take care of everything, meaning that your carer can just focus on the important thing: taking care of you.

If you need more intensive support that requires round-the-clock care but the idea of moving into a residential or nursing home is unnerving for you, live-in care in Halifax could be the perfect solution for you.

With you at the fore, we’ll work closely with you and your loved ones to provide a bespoke live-in care plan that offers unintrusive, constant support so that you always have someone to call on. What’s more, we’ll work with you to handpick a carer that is compatible with your personality, hobbies and interests, so you will always have someone that you can call a friend.

If we become more dependent, that doesn’t mean that you should have to forego your complete independence if you need a little extra help. With private care from the team, we’ll give you as much or as little support as you need to feel safe and independent at home.

Whether you live alone, as a couple or with a four-legged friend, we’ll work with you and your loved ones to establish your way of life so that we can fit your care around your needs and preferences.

Helping Hands was founded by Mary Lee in 1989, and since then we have been training each of our carers to ensure that they provide only the very best care for each and every one of the families we look after. But perhaps most importantly, each of our carers are only able to achieve this high standard because of their passion, empathy and willingness to go above and beyond – all of which are qualities that are pivotal to becoming a part of our team.

Prior to going out into the field, each of our private carers complete a comprehensive training course that covers a range of in-depth skills such as dementia care, safeguarding, moving and handling, mobility support and many more. And as the only home care provider to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, you can rest assured that you are in safe hands.

Fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), we always ensure that our service is responsive, safe and effective and always adhering to strict CQC regulations. Being audited by an independent association ensures that we always deliver on our promise – to provide outstanding, person-centred care to each and every one of our customers.
