About Helping Hands Highbury
Helping Hands Highbury and Islington provides care and support in people's own homes across the London borough of Islington. We visit older people, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and younger adults. We put weight on the length of a visit. A great deal of what makes home care worth having cannot be done at speed: a proper conversation, a meal eaten together rather than left on a tray, a walk that is not rushed. When calls are cut too short everything becomes a task and the person becomes a list, so we build time into what we do and we expect our carers to sit down. The practical help covers washing and dressing, medication, meals, moving safely around the flat, household jobs, shopping, appointments and getting out. For other people we support it looks quite different, with somebody alongside them at college, at work or at a group. For people living with dementia we hold to familiar carers at familiar times and follow the routines already working in that household. Living in London makes consistency harder and more important, so we keep rounds tight and local. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection.
