A proper break for the person who does the caring
Caring for a partner or parent is a full-time job with no days off. Helping Hands gives family carers a break, from a few hours a week to full days, knowing their loved one is with someone kind, experienced and DBS checked. Visits start from three hours and go up to eight hours in a day.
How we can help
- Regular weekly visits so you can plan your own time
- Full-day cover for appointments, work or a day out
- Company, meals and light help at home while you are away
- Outings and activities so the day is enjoyable, not just covered
- Sitting service for people who cannot be left alone
- Support after a hospital stay or during a difficult patch
Who we can help
- Partners caring for a husband or wife
- Adult children caring for a parent
- Families who need cover for a holiday or a week away
- Carers who simply need a few hours to themselves
You cannot pour from an empty cup. A few hours off each week keeps you well enough to keep caring.
