Step two: Attend your free, no-obligation initial assessment
Free at-home assessments are included as standard in our process.
This is where we will visit the service user in the comfort of their own home, and have an open discussion about their needs, current challenges, and any preferences. Using this information, we will be able to recommend the best physical homecare services.
This is also a great opportunity for family members to express their opinions or any concerns. Our team will be happy to offer peace of mind and reassurance.
Step three: Review your bespoke care plan and begin homecare
Using the information from the assessment, we will put a bespoke care plan together, detailing the services required, ideal visiting times, carer allocations, delivery methods, and any other useful information.
Our care plans are fully flexible and adaptable.
FAQs
Are your physical homecare services delivered on a short-term or long-term basis?

Can I combine physical homecare services with other services?
Absolutely. It is very common for our service users to combine physical homecare with our other services, as many of them do naturally overlap.
What other homecare services are available at Helping Hands?
