About Helping Hands Portishead
Helping Hands Portishead provides care and support in people's own homes across Clevedon, Portishead and the surrounding part of North Somerset. We work with older adults, younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities, and people with loss of sight or hearing. Our work rests on the idea that home is usually the best place to be, provided the right help turns up at the right time. That last part is where most home care succeeds or fails, so we plan rotas conservatively and would sooner turn work away than take on more than we can cover reliably. The visits cover personal care, medication, meals and drinks, shopping, help getting out, household tasks and company. For people living with dementia we work with the routines already in place at home. Where we support people with learning disabilities the emphasis moves towards enabling rather than doing. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to discuss support at home.
