Helping Hands Home Care

Helping Hands customer Michael has been enjoying the warmer weather and discovering new paths during walks in his local area. Because getting out and about is one of the things Michael enjoys, his carer Levi joined him on one of his walks and the pair did some train spotting from the bridge. It was an eventful walk, as they also rescued a field mouse and returned it to its rightful home!

We’re thrilled to have been supporting Michael since March 2024 with companionship visits and tea calls – and helping him make the most of the sunshine through the summer months!

Mitchell recently returned to the gym with the support of his carer Paulina, with whom he has formed a strong bond. He’d not been swimming since pre-covid times and was isolated at home in between carer visits. Paulina has encouraged Mitchell to participate in a range of activities which has left him feeling more confident and happy.

With support from his carers working collaboratively, Mitchell’s fitness and strength has improved - and he hopes to get fit and well enough to visit his dad in Spain later this year!

We love seeing the progress and thank Mitchell for sharing his fantastic story!

Our customer Peggy had the Perfect Day out when she attended her granddaughter’s wedding in May this year. Carer Amy made sure that Peggy had the most fantastic time and got her a front row seat at the ceremony, followed by enjoying the evening disco in her wheelchair with support from her son! Peggy was overjoyed that she didn’t miss out on such a huge family celebration!

Peggy has been supported by Helping Hands for over a year, with hourly visiting support twice a day, and assisting with respite care when the family go away on holidays. Peggy was thrilled that her carer Amy, working with the branch and the family, made it possible for her to enjoy this beautiful occasion!

Clare shares her story with us, giving us 5 star review! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“Navigating alone, elderly parents care is a difficult one and Helping Hands felt like a life raft.

On our first meeting, Naomi listened, was caring and incredibly helpful. Since then, any chances I’ve needed to make my mums care plan as her become greater has been so easy to arrange.

Emails are acknowledged quickly, and changes are immediate. My mum’s carer will contact me with any concerns or information and liaise with the district nurse team which helps me out enormously. I am able to check my mum’s visits on a portal which show me what has happened that day and how my mum is.

Having been at the house during visits, I cannot stress enough how wonderful, kind caring and professional the carers are. They are absolute angels and I know the care my mum receives allows her to be safe and content in her own home. This is priceless.

If you are looking for a care provider for yourself or a loved one, I would recommend Helping hands without reservations. Thank you, Claire”

Bev shares her story with us, giving us 5 star review! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“Helping Hands is exactly what is says. My mum, whose 85, was unable to get herself out to her local club to play bingo as she must cross a busy road. Even though the club is literally over the road she became housebound especially if the weather was windy, for the fear of begin blown over.

Helping Hands have given my mum her life back by taking her there and brining her back safely, other days they take her for a walk. They will do anything she asks of them, from making her a cup of tea to rubbing ointment on her aching back.

I live away so Helping Hands gives me great peace of mind that Mum can get to her beloved bingo and know that the small team of 4 that visit her are kind, reliable but most of all caring towards Mum.

Thank you form the bottom of my heart, Bev”

🌟 Throwback Thursday 🌟

last Friday, we joined the unforgettable Summer Garden Party at Inspired Villages, Millfield Green, with the amazing John Torode MBE hosting the event! 🎉

Tina, our Care & Training Practitioner from Southend, shared her experience:

"I felt very honoured to attend the garden party at Inspired Villages, Millfield Green, alongside the special guest, John Torode. It was a privilege to support the team and share what Helping Hands can do to support customers in the village and surrounding areas.

Lisa, the regular carer, was lovely and welcoming, clearly beloved within the community. The event was a fantastic opportunity to share our dedication to helping customers maintain independence in their own homes. The village itself was stunning, the staff were wonderful, and the service was exceptional. It was a day to remember."

A huge thank you to everyone who made the day so special!
