Home care in Reading

Whether you need support with your agency care, housekeeping or getting out into your local community, our compassionate team of Reading carers are here to ensure that you are able to live your life on your terms, and in the comfort of your own home.

We understand how important it is for you to feel safe and independent in your home, that’s why the team will work with you to provide a bespoke package of care that is built entirely around you and your needs. Wondering about the cost of care?

With over 30 years’ experience supporting thousands of families across England and Wales, our Reading team are fully equipped to cater for conditions ranging from dementia, acquired neurological injuries, mental health, cerebral palsy and many more.

So whether you need visits that are little and often to help you around the house or clinical support such as PEG feeding or stroke aftercare, the team are here to ensure that you can continue to live the life you want to – just with a little help along the way.

Being a private care provider, rather than a care agency, means that at Helping Hands we employ and pay our carers directly and take full responsibility for their general wellbeing.

Often care agencies will require clients to pay their carers directly. This results in all sorts of unexpected and unwanted fees and paperwork that can often become time-consuming and stressful.

With home care from Helping Hands, we take care of all the fiddly admin and we make sure our carers are always well looked after, ensuring that they’re able to focus on providing you or your loved one with the best possible care.

We understand that when the need arises for more intensive support, it can be distressing for you and your loved ones – especially if you feel that residential care isn’t the most suitable option for you. With live in care from our Reading team, one of our dedicated carers will live with you in your home to ensure that you have the round-the-clock support you need to feel safe and independent at home and out in the local community.

Live-in care from our Reading team is more than just practical care; your mental wellbeing matters too. We’ll work with you to find a carer that shares your personality, hobbies and interests, so you have more than just a carer; you’ll have friendship. So if football is your passion and you want to head out to the Madejski Stadium and cheer on your team, we’ll be right there with you in a blue and white scarf.

And with the support of our clinical nurses, our Reading team are fully equipped to support with more complex care requirements such as PEG feeding and catheter care, so you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.
