About Helping Hands
Helping Hands Batley supports people across Batley and the surrounding area in their own homes. We plan support around the way somebody already lives rather than around a standard package, and we keep the same carers visiting the same people wherever we can. We support older people with the everyday tasks that have become harder, personal care, medication, meals, shopping and getting out safely, and people living with dementia, where a familiar face and an unhurried pace matter more than anything written in a plan. We also work with people living with a physical disability, where good support is largely about making daily life workable again rather than quietly taking tasks away from somebody, and with younger adults, whose priorities are usually about getting on with ordinary life. Continuity is what makes home care work. A carer who knows somebody well notices the untouched meal or the unsteady walk that turns out to be the first sign of a problem. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather say so plainly. Until we do, judge us on whether visits happen as agreed, whether we ring when plans have to change and whether we give you straight answers.
