About Helping Hands
Helping Hands in Fareham provides care in people's own homes across Fareham and the surrounding part of Hampshire. We support older people, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people with sight or hearing loss and younger adults whose care needs sit alongside work, study and family life. Visits can be short and practical or long and involved. For one person, a call first thing to help with washing, dressing and breakfast is what makes the rest of the day possible. For another, it is several visits or extended hours so that nobody is alone for long stretches. What is right at the beginning is rarely what is right a year later, so we review arrangements honestly instead of leaving a package in place out of habit. Where somebody is living with dementia, we keep carers consistent and visits predictable, and we meet a person where they are rather than correcting them into our version of the day. Where there is sight or hearing loss, the small things carry weight. Saying who we are when we arrive. Describing what is on the plate. Putting things back exactly where they were. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us to arrange a conversation at home.
