About Helping Hand Homecare
Helping Hand Homecare supports people in their own homes in Northallerton and the surrounding parts of North Yorkshire. Most of the people we visit are older, though we also support younger adults, and much of our work is with people living with dementia or with a physical disability that makes everyday tasks harder than they used to be. A visit from us might mean help to get up and dressed, prompting and support with medication, preparing a meal, keeping on top of the housework, or simply company and a conversation. For some households we call several times a day. For others we come once a week so that a family carer can get out knowing that someone reliable is there. This is a rural patch and we know what that means in practice. Travel time is built into our rounds so that carers are not rushing, and we would rather be honest about what we can cover than promise a visit we cannot keep. People tell us which carers they get on with and we try to keep those matches steady. The Care Quality Commission rates us as good overall. Our view is that good care in someone's own home is mostly made up of small, reliable things done properly, week after week. If you would like to talk through what support might look like, please call and we will come out and see you.
