Helping Hands Home Care

The year we started caring was the year the Berlin Wall fell!

!989: The Berlin Wall came down, The Simpsons started and Helping Hands began caring for people at home.

Thirty-plus years later we're still family-owned, still local and still believe care should feel like being looked after by someone who knows you.

What were you doing in 1989? Tell us in the comments with your memories of 1989.

A short visit isn't a small one.

Our visits can start from just 30 minutes, and in that time a carer can help with a meal, medication, personal care and, just as importantly, company.

Reach out to us today or pop into our Calne office to see how half an hour can change somebody's day.

Ask us what a visit for your loved one could look like.

Today, we remember.

On this Remembrance Day, we take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by generations past and to honour the memory of those who served.

Many of the people we support and their families hold cherished memories of loved ones affected by war and conflict. We are privileged to listen to and preserve these stories, ensuring they are never forgotten.

As a care provider, we recognise the value of dignity, compassion and community, and today we stand together in remembrance.

Lest we forget.

If you see someone in purple walking down Church Street or Curzon Street in Calne, that's one of our carers on the way to make someone's day a bit easier.

Give them a wave, they've earned it 👋

It isn't medication.
It isn't a care plan.
It's a kettle!

Because the best care visits start with a cuppa and ten minutes of proper conversation.
One family told us that our carer sat with their mum, talked with her and read to her. That's what we're about.

Alzheimer’s never has to erase the person. Behind every diagnosis is a person with a lifetime of memories, experiences, relationships and things that they love. That’s why person-centred care is so important.
🏡From familiar routines and favourite places, small personal touches can make a big difference to someone living with Alzheimer’s. Our carers take the time to understand the customer behind the diagnosis, including helping them to feel safe, valued, respected and supported at home.
💜 Because every person deserves to be cared for with expert, compassionate care. 👉 Find out more about our personalised home care at helpinghandshomecare.co.uk

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day. Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. For someone living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, time, kindness and companionship can mean so much.
In this video, Jenny shares her experience of the difference Helping Hands carers can make at home. 🏡
Our carers are there to listen, reassure and bring a little extra kindness to someone’s day, while helping families feel supported too. Because care isn’t just about practical support. It’s about people, compassion and helping someone feel cared for. 💜

Communication is about more than just words. For someone living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, finding the right words can sometimes be difficult. Small changes in how we communicate can make a big difference.
✨ Speak slowly and use short sentences
✨ Give them time to respond
✨ Maintain eye contact and use their name
✨ Stay calm and patient
✨ Avoid correcting or arguing
✨ Use gestures and visual cues when helpful
✨ Focus on feelings, not just facts
Most importantly, every conversation is an opportunity to help someone feel heard, respected and understood. 💜
