Dedicated home care for young adults<\/h2>\n \n

Home care for young adults is about supporting you to live as independently as possible.<\/p>\n \n \n

Long-term care for young adults isn\u2019t just about meeting daily living needs – it\u2019s about giving your loved one the opportunity to live as independently as possible. Whether at home with a partner, children, or parents, living away at university for the first time, or enjoying some space in a home of your own, Helping Hands\u2019 personal assistants enable our young adults to enjoy their preferred lifestyle with confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

How we've been helping Tom with live in support<\/h2>\n \n

Tom is a Helping Hands customer who lives with a brain injury acquired in a road traffic accident.<\/p>\n \n \n

Tom has been benefitting from Helping Hands\u2019 flexible social support, practical assistance, and friendly companionship since 2004. He first welcomed his current personal assistant, Peter, into his bungalow in March 2014, and from the off it was obvious that the pair have plenty in common: they are both thrill-seekers.<\/p>\n

Rehabilitation and support for those affected by an acquired brain injury requires an individualised approach. There is no \u2018typical\u2019 ABI care, so we aspire to pair our customers with assistants who have the experience and personality to offer an ideal level of support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Fully personalised home care support<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Tom and Peter are a wonderful example of the benefits of a carefully considered live-in partnership. \u201cI\u2019ve always been active,\u201d says Tom, \u201cand Peter is good motivation\u201d. Peter nods in agreement: \u201cWe all need a little push sometimes.\u201d Improving his stamina is Tom\u2019s continuous goal, and Peter has been fully trained by Tom\u2019s physiotherapist to support his exercise regime with a moving and handling belt. Having clicked so well with Tom over the last two years, he continually works alongside him to develop new exercises and techniques which promote muscle definition.<\/p>\n

When Tom isn\u2019t in the gym, he\u2019s in the pool, and it\u2019s easy for Peter to see why he loves it: Tom, who normally gets around in a wheelchair, is able to walk in the water. \u201cIt helps him balance and triggers his muscles,\u201d smiles Peter. It\u2019s Tom\u2019s goal to one day walk again unaided, and with Peter\u2019s help, he is moving closer every day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

An independent home life<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Peter, who has been working for Helping Hands since 2011, was in a similar placement for around two years before he came to Tom, allowing him to develop his skills in a live-in capacity and become specialised in supporting young adults living with brain injuries. \u201cI like to share what I know,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s very rewarding being able to see the improvements in Tom\u201d.<\/p>\n

Support for young adults should fit seamlessly around established routines. At home in Tom\u2019s bungalow, Peter assists Tom with his daily living: helping him to his wet room for a shower, completing household chores, preparing his meals, or just sitting with him in the evenings to watch some TV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Support with hobbies and activities<\/h2>\n \n \n \n

Tom loves to go out for coffee with his friends, and spends part of his weekend with his parents who live close by. But it\u2019s not just these everyday activities that Tom enjoys. Canoeing, sailing, and scaling the indoor climbing wall have all been on the busy agenda \u2013 not to mention plenty of Thai food. \u201cBlow-karting was great!\u201d says Peter. \u201cThere was a difficult start, but by the end, Tom loved it.\u201d Blow-karting, for the less-daring amongst us, is a hair-raising cross between go-karting and windsurfing.<\/p>\n

Tom, who loves seeing new faces, enjoys visiting the Harley Davidson motorbike shop and attending college twice a week for classes in spelling and memory. He and Peter have recently started cookery lessons, and from the look on Tom\u2019s face when key lime pie is mentioned, it\u2019s clear that this is now a favourite activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Continuity of care<\/h2>\n \n

At Helping Hands, we know that continuous, quality-assured care is fundamental.<\/p>\n \n \n

Your loved one may be transitioning from children\u2019s and young people\u2019s services, making the decision to move from domiciliary to live-in support<\/a>, or adjusting to a completely new way of life. All our live-in support packages are unique, just like our customers.<\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s holidays are regularly covered by Mark, another of our live-in assistants already familiar with Tom\u2019s needs, resulting in a very smooth handover process. Tom has enjoyed this continuity of care for a long time: he had been partnered with his previous carer for seven years. With regular contact from Monica, their manager, Tom can be confident that his support will always adapt to his needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
