We know that health care at home can be a better alternative than moving to a care home, and often we rely on family members and loved ones to provide for us. If your primary caregiver needs a bit of a break to kick their feet up or has come down with a nasty flu, then we can step in to support you for however long you need. Helping Hands can offer temporary respite care in Stockport. From live-in care for as little as 7 days to up to 5 weeks, we can provide a top-quality carer to help with any needs, including condition-led care such as dementia and elderly care. We’re regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and have over 30 years of experience, so we’re always perfecting our holistic approach to home care in Stockport.
We know that considering care options can often be overwhelming. Stockport is famous for its nearby River Mersey and its architectural hotspots, so it may be the last place you’d want to leave. If you’re struggling a bit lately, whether that’s from age or a condition, it can be difficult to manage it all on your own. If you feel you’re not ready to commit to permanent care on a long-term basis, then respite care may be for you. Our bespoke respite care is tailored around you and your needs, no matter how little time you need us. With Helping Hands, you can do just that, and we endeavour to have a qualified carer over to Stockport within 24 hours in case of an emergency.
You may have been discharged from hospital or are recuperating from an accident. Our carers can help you get back on your feet with general housekeeping, meal preparation and grocery shopping, as well as other day-to-day tasks. We also offer personal care which can support you with bathing, dressing and toileting to retain your dignity and comfort. Our carers can help you stick to the routines you enjoy and your normal level of independence so you can get the best out of life. They will even help walk your many dogs if their collars are starting to get a little tight. Our nurse-led care trains our carers to deal with the more medically complex care needs you may have like ventilation care, nephrostomy care, and medication administration. With our carers, you’ll be in safe hands – literally!
Not only are our carers handpicked for their compassion, work ethic and wealth of experience, but they are also DBS-checked and specially trained in handling specific conditions. This can range from dementia, stroke, and cancer to palliative and emergency care. Our superb training makes our carers the best around when it comes to care at home. Our carers are also wonderful people with friendly, compassionate natures and we love hearing about the bonds that are being made between carer and customer. We hope that you won’t only gain a carer in your home, but a companion too. Soon you will have a new friend to explore Stockport’s Viaduct with, safe in the knowledge that you are being well supported.
