Helping Hands
As a direct alternative to a care home, live-in care works if you are looking for a solution that would enable you or your loved one to stay at home and receive bespoke one to one, full time care. The support is arranged on your terms and to fit in with existing preferences for meals and eating times, naps and favourite activities.
As the term suggests the carer lives in the house with the person they have been asked to look after. They will sleep there (they will need their own room) and follow a bespoke care plan created specifically for that person.
Established in 1989 and now one of the largest providers of live-in care in the country Helping Hands support many people for all sorts of reasons, needs may be short term, convalescent, respite or holiday care for example, or longer term. Because of the versatility of live-in care and the very specific training they provide they are able to support numerous conditions, from Dementia to Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis and Stroke Rehabilitation. As with any care provider they are regulated by The Care Quality Commission and have a recent rated inspection report available.
For more information on live-in care call 0808 180 9455 or visit the Helping Hands website.
