About Helping Hands
Helping Hands Newport Pagnell supports people in their own homes across Newport Pagnell and the surrounding parts of Milton Keynes. We work with older people, adults living with dementia, people with a learning disability or autism, those managing a mental health condition, people with a physical disability, and people living with a visual or hearing impairment. We also support younger adults. With that spread of needs there is no standard package. Every arrangement begins with a proper conversation about how someone likes their day to run, what they manage well themselves and where support would genuinely help. From that we agree a written plan in plain language, and we revisit it as things change rather than leaving it to gather dust. Visits can cover personal care, medication, meals, household tasks, shopping, appointments and company, from a short daily call to support across the whole day, and for some people a live in arrangement where a carer is there throughout. We keep the team around each person small, because familiar faces at predictable times are worth a great deal and because familiar carers notice when something has changed. Our staff are trained for the needs they will actually meet. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk things through.
