About Safehands Homecare
Safehands Homecare provides home care to adults in Scarborough and the surrounding area. We support older people and younger adults who want to stay in their own homes and need some practical help to manage comfortably. Our visits are built around the person. That can mean a short call in the morning to help somebody wash, dress and get the day started, prompting or giving medicines, preparing meals and making sure somebody is eating and drinking properly, or help with the household jobs that have become difficult. It can also mean support to get out of the house, to appointments or shops or simply to see people, which is often the part that makes the biggest difference to how somebody feels about their week. Before we start, we sit down and agree what the support should look like, when it should happen, and what you would rather manage yourself. We put that in writing, we keep the team visiting you small so you are not forever meeting strangers, and we change the arrangement when your circumstances change rather than leaving the plan as first drawn up. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Arriving when we said we would and sending people who already know you are what keep it that way.
