About Helping Hands Christchurch

Helping Hands Christchurch supports people in their own homes across Christchurch, Bournemouth and the surrounding area. We work with older people, adults living with dementia, people living with a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults who need practical support at home. Every arrangement begins with a proper conversation. We want to understand how somebody likes their day to run, what they still manage perfectly well themselves and where a hand would genuinely make a difference. That becomes a written plan in plain language which our carers follow and which we revisit as circumstances change. Visits can cover personal care, help with medication, preparing meals, household tasks, shopping, getting to appointments and simply spending time with someone. Some people want one short call a day, others need support several times a day, and for some a live in arrangement works better, with a carer there throughout. Continuity matters a great deal in home care, so we keep the team around each person small. A familiar face at a predictable hour is worth far more than an efficient rota, particularly for someone living with dementia or a sensory impairment, and familiar carers notice when things are different. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to talk through what support could look like.
