Branch Care Manager
My responsibilities encompass a wide spectrum of tasks, including assessing clients' needs, creating tailored care plans, and coordinating a team of caregivers. They liaise with healthcare professionals, families, and clients to guarantee that care standards meet regulatory guidelines and personal preferences. Managing budgets, monitoring service quality, and maintaining meticulous records are also key aspects of their role. They must stay updated on healthcare regulations, train staff, and implement safety measures. Ultimately, they provide compassionate leadership to deliver high-quality, person-centered care in a home environment. I joined CARE driven by passion for empathy, compassion, and a deep-seated need to provide care to those in need. My journey in healthcare is a testament to my genuine love for caring for people. Every day, I am inspired by the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of individuals and communities. CARE allows me to channel this passion into meaningful actions, creating a world where kindness and support are readily available to those facing adversity. With a heart full of empathy, I am committed to embodying the values of CARE, as together, we strive to create a more compassionate and caring society. Our services are designed to empower individuals to maintain their independence, right within the comfort and safety of their own homes. This mission not only aligns with CQC standards but also reflects my unwavering commitment to promoting a caring, nurturing, and secure environment for all."

Home care Wokingham
It’s no coincidence that Helping Hands has been at the forefront of the home care industry for the past 30 years. We know exactly what it takes to provide care directly to you that caters for all of your needs, whilst enabling you to ‘live well’ with a condition instead of ‘suffer from’.
The team at the Wokingham branch are able to cater for a variety of different conditions from multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease and cerebral palsy to Parkinson’s, arthritis and stroke. And whether you’ve recently been diagnosed or you’ve had a lifelong condition, we’ll get to know you, your symptoms and your preferred way of being cared for.
Home care from Helping Hands is led entirely by you because after all, we’re here to enable you, not take over completely. If you struggle to make your meals but still like to help with preparing the food, we’ll make sure that you’re always involved when you want to be so that you feel empowered and as independent as possible.
Live-in care for round-the-clock support
As the name suggests, live-in care in Wokingham is when a professional carer comes to live with you in your home to take care of you whenever you need them. Whether it’s for respite while your regular caregiver takes a break, for a bit of extra support for both of you if you’re living as a couple, or if your care needs have recently changed – a live-in carer could be the perfect solution that enables you to receive top quality care whilst remaining in the comfort of your own home.
Maintaining your health and wellbeing is of the utmost importance to us, which includes both your physical and psychological state. So, if you fancy going for a wander around Holme Grange Craft Village or would just like to go for a gentle stroll in your local park, your live-in carer will be right there with you.
Award-winning training for carers in Wokingham
We’re extremely proud of our strong work force of experienced, dedicated and passionate carers and we wouldn’t be the nation’s leading home care provider without them. That’s why we’ve worked hard to ensure they receive the very best training that covers manual handling, first aid, equality and diversity, dementia and safeguarding. Not only has our training programme been recognised as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, but we insist that all of our carers go on regular refresher training to keep up to date with the latest in care practice.
As a care provider, Helping Hands adheres to strict regulations set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and we work tirelessly to ensure our practices are safe, responsive and professional. We are also closely aligned with Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) and Spinal Injuries Alliance (SIA), who support those living with the respective conditions.
Domiciliary care that puts you in control
Domiciliary care is tailored entirely around you so that you are always in control of what type of care you receive and when you receive it. If you just need someone to pop in once a week for an hour to help with light household duties, or if you require several calls throughout the day to help you get around the house with the assistance of a standing aid – that’s exactly what we can do for you, and so much more.
Care isn’t always just for the elderly; we also assist many young people from the ages of 18 to 65 to lead an independent lifestyle, despite the condition that they’re living with. We can even support you getting to and from work or your place of study if you struggle with travel arrangements, and if you’d prefer to refer to your carer as a personal assistant or support worker, then that’s absolutely fine.
