How visiting care works at Helping Hands<\/h2>\n \n

Our superb visiting carers can help you with anything from housework to personal care.<\/p>\n \n \n

It can often be difficult to acknowledge that it is time to ask for a little help or support. It may be physical tasks, housekeeping<\/a>, specific\u00a0personal care<\/a>\u00a0or help following a hospital discharge- whatever your needs, a regular visit could make all the difference. It needn\u2019t be as daunting as you may think.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re committed to ensuring every step of your care journey is as smooth and straightforward as possible, and that starts from your very first phone call to our friendly customer support team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

How to arrange visiting care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We try to make arranging visiting care simple and stress-free so that we can focus on what really matters: your care needs. Speak to our team today to begin your journey.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you simply require some short term respite, convalescence or are planning for your long term needs we will have a programme of visits for you to choose from. Carers can visit as frequently as you like, from half an hour calls through to longer \u201csit\u201d sessions that may take most of the day or even help during the night.

Meeting with your local branch manager<\/h2>\n \n

With over 155 branches across England and Wales, we\u2019re almost certainly local to you.<\/p>\n \n \n

Being local to you means you\u2019ll have continuous, consistent support from the whole branch, including your local care manager who will be an expert practitioner. They\u2019ll meet with you to discuss your needs and preferences and develop a care plan that truly suits your circumstances and condition.<\/p>\n

Your care plan will detail all of your needs \u2013 from medication to mobility \u2013 as well as issues and routines. This care plan will then form the cornerstone of your support, although we will of course constantly monitor your needs so that your plan can be adapted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

The benefits of visiting care<\/h2>\n \n

Our visiting care is helping customers like Hannah to maintain their independence.<\/p>\n \n \n

Hannah lives with cerebral palsy and has done since birth. Since starting care with Helping Hands in March, she describes her experience as \u201clife-changing\u201d.<\/p>\n

Our visiting care helps Hannah, and thousands of others across the UK, to continue living life on her own terms through compassionate, person-centred support \u2013 whether that involves overseeing medication, doing the housework or preparing meals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
