Home care in Waterford

Visiting home care means you get the support you need in the place you want, your own home. Our carers can provide support with every aspect of your daily life including medication, personal care, meal preparation, mobility and any other task that can make your life easier. Our carers will work from a personalised support plan that will detail exactly how you like things done and will ensure that your routines are always respected.

If you have a complex health condition or if you would just like to have care and companionship around the clock, you may prefer having a live-in carer. Having one of our professional and empathetic carers living n your home with you can be a valuable alternative to moving into residential care, as you get to remain in the home you love and still have the benefit of full-time care. With live-in care you still get the very highest standards of care possible, but your carer will also be there to chat over a cup of tea or give you the space you need when you want some alone time.

Helping Hands has never been a care agency and the differences are significant. As a fully managed and regulated company we are answerable to the CQC and CIW for everything that we do, meaning we work hard to ensure our standards exceed the guidelines that the industry bodies set. Care agencies on the other hand, have no obligation to be registered and you therefore may not end up getting the service you’ve been promised. Don’t leave your care to chance; talk to us and see why we’re one of the UK’s best home care companies.

Staying in your own home for care can be preferable under many circumstances but even more so when you’re living with dementia. Remaining in familiar surroundings, amongst people, pets and possessions that mean the world to you can help to reduce anxiety and confusion, meaning that you or your loved one can live their best life at home and still receive the dementia care they need.

Respite care can be useful in many way. Perhaps your regular carer is taking a break or your family are going on holiday, or maybe you just want to see if home care is for you; regardless of the reason, having respite care for a week or two may just be the lifeline you needed. Equally, if your carer is taking ill or your family suddenly can’t acre for you, emergency care can be in your home within 24 hours, so you can rest assured that you’ll always be cared for with Helping Hands.

As we get older our needs and abilities change. Some people find a renewed interest in exercise and find their strength improves, but for the vast majority of us, the opposite is true and we find tasks around the house become harder to manage. If you’d like some extra support with housework, laundry, personal care, or a myriad other tasks both inside and out of your home, why not give us a call about elderly care today?

We’ve been supporting people to live their very best lives since 1989 and our carers are at the heart of everything we do. They go above and beyond to support our customers to live as independently as possible in their own homes and are able to do this because of the rigorous training they receive when they join us, as well as development opportunities throughout their employment. They are fully screened by the DBS before they go to meet any of our customers, ensuring that you’re safeguarded in your home too. We are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales and we’re accredited by many different organisations throughout the UK, so you can be sure that with us, you’ll be in safe hands.
