About Helping Hands
We provide care in people's own homes in Weston super Mare and across North Somerset. Our aim is to make staying at home workable, with support that turns up when it should and is delivered by carers the household knows. Most of the people we visit are older. We help with washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping and the practical jobs around the house that have become awkward. We support people living with dementia, where continuity of carer and a steady routine can decide how a whole day goes. We also work with people who have a physical disability, including safe help with moving and transfers, with people whose sight or hearing is impaired and with younger adults needing support to live independently. We put thought into matching. Somebody coming into your home every morning needs to be a person you are glad to see, so we introduce carers properly and we listen if a match is not working. Everything begins with a home visit and an unhurried conversation about what is wanted. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring to talk it through.
