Importance of errand services for the elderly<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Elderly errand services are an important part of care provision for people who need a little extra support with their daily activities. Having regular help can make such a difference to your everyday life, and our support assistants are dedicated to being there for you on both a visiting and live-in basis. When you first approach us, you may not need much help to carry out the tasks that make up your day, however if your needs change as time goes on, you\u2019ll be glad to know that our support is flexible and will mould around your needs.<\/p>\n

Everyone who works for us is focussed on always providing person-centred support, and because our services are fully regulated by the\u00a0Care Quality Commission<\/a>\u00a0and the Care Inspectorate Wales, you and your loved ones will know that you\u2019ll always be in the best hands with Helping Hands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Factors influencing elderly errand service costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s totally understandable that cost has a large bearing on whether you choose a support service or not, yet there are other things that need to be considered as well. For instance:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n \n \n
\n \n Is the company an agency?<\/span>\n <\/h5>\n \n
\n

Helping Hands is a private home care company rather than an agency which makes more of a difference than you may realise. Agencies often charge hidden fees for aspects of the service that should be included, such as finding you the perfect support assistant and checking their background thoroughly.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n \n \n
\n \n Does the company sell franchises?<\/span>\n <\/h5>\n \n
\n

Helping Hands don\u2019t operate franchises, all of our 155 branches across England and Wales are owned and managed by us. This is important because it offers a consistency of care that you just don\u2019t get from franchised services.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

We place the highest importance on ensuring you enjoy as much of your life as possible, including getting together with family and friends, community activities, attending social clubs, and going for meals. Our support assistants will accompany you if you wish, or just transport you there and back, to ensure you don\u2019t miss out on all the things you always used to do. In addition, they\u2019ll help you to make the most of your local area by enjoying the scenery, favourite walks, or taking you for a drive in the country. They will also help you to go grocery shopping, attend appointments, keep your house tidy, and all the other things that make up your daily routine.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to work out what you want from your support assistant at home and make sure that you have a clear picture in your head of what you\u2019d like them to help you with.\u00a0Visiting care<\/a>\u00a0may be suitable for you if you would like care from an hour or two, or as a compliment to care being delivered by a loved one. If you would prefer to have companionship around the clock then you\u2019d probably rather\u00a0live-in care<\/a>, where your support assistant can ensure you\u2019re never lonely or alone. Regardless of what support you choose you\u2019ll want to know that you\u2019re getting value for money, and because we\u2019re a fully regulated service you can be sure that you\u2019ll always be receiving the very highest quality of care and support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Types of errand services and associated prices<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Our elderly errand service prices are competitive and ensure that you are receiving the very best support possible for the price you pay. We offer errand support for older people on both a visiting and live-in basis, which obviously affects the cost, but as a starting figure you can expect to pay from \u00a332.40 per hour for visiting care and start from \u00a31,675 per week for an individual receiving live-in care. We specialise in home care because we truly believe that home is the best place to be when you\u2019re seeking additional support, however that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t still enjoy your surroundings, whether that\u2019s a beloved garden or the local park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Available financial assistance and options<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

It\u2019s important to consider how you\u2019re going to fund any care and support you wish to receive. Many of our customers pay for their support privately but if that isn\u2019t an option, you can explore other means of financial support. Depending on your personal circumstances you mind find there are benefits or other forms of public funding available, and we have lots of information available to guide you. Other possibilities to explore include power of attorney and immediate needs annuity and you can find out more about your options here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
