QUERCY HELPING HANDS
HOME IS ... HOME
Quercy Helping Hands was set up to work in partnership with people who want to stay in the comfort of their own home as they recover from illness or a hospital stay or as they face the need for more support as they grow older.
The majority of people are safer and happier in their own home surrounded by all things familiar whether that’s a favourite armchair, soft bed, beautiful view or loving pet, close to family and neighbours. A home is much more than a house – it is full of loving, of memories and it is a place to feel protected and nurtured.
Whatever your needs, Quercy Helping Hands can help. We have a team of highly experienced English speaking carers who will endeavour to assist you in being the independent person you want to be – pursuing interests and hobbies, staying in touch with friends and family, taking exercise or simply just enjoying your own surroundings knowing you are safe and cared for.
The level of support is determined by the need and therefore can be tailored and flexible. For some people we provide 24hr live-in help that allows someone to continue with their chosen lifestyle and interests knowing that someone is on hand at all times. Others require shorter periods of time to cover help with personal and household tasks.
Very often the team provides support when the regular carer, often a family member, is taking a well-earned break. This can range from 3 hours a day/week to round-the-clock holiday cover.
Staying at home has a profound and positive effect on wellbeing and with tailored support however small or large the need, older people can not only preserve their quality of life but have it enhanced.
