About Helping Hands
Helping Hands Brentwood provides care in people's own homes across Brentwood and the surrounding parts of Essex. We support older people, adults living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and younger adults who need support to manage everyday life. Nearly everyone who contacts us wants the same thing, which is to stay at home. Our work is making that practical and safe for as long as it reasonably can be. That might mean a short visit each morning for help with washing, dressing and medicines. It might mean several calls a day, or longer periods of support where someone cannot be left for long. We would rather build up gradually as needs change than wait for a fall or a hospital admission to force the issue. We keep the same carers going to the same households wherever we can. Familiarity is not a nicety in this work. It is what lets someone notice that a person is quieter than usual, or eating less, and raise it while it is still a small problem. Before we start we sit down and go through it properly, including the parts people find awkward to discuss. Then we write a plan that reflects the actual person and revisit it honestly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Give us a call and we will tell you what we can realistically offer.
