About Helping Hands

Helping Hands Cirencester is a home care agency supporting people in their own homes in Cirencester and across this part of Gloucestershire. Our work is for people who would rather stay in the home they know, with their own things around them, and who need the right support to make that safe and sustainable. We visit older people and younger adults. We support people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. A visit may involve personal care, help with medication, meals, mobility, housework or getting out to the shops, a group or an appointment. Some clients need one short call a day and others need several longer visits. We assess with the person before anything begins, and we ask the questions that actually shape a day, such as when they like to get up, what they enjoy eating and what they want to keep doing for themselves. That becomes a written plan which we follow and revise as needs change. We aim to keep the same carers visiting the same clients, and we train our staff for the particular needs of the people they see. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We value it, and we take the real test to be whether our clients around Cirencester feel comfortable, respected and in charge of their own homes while we are there.
