About Helping Hands Team

Helping Hands Team provides care to people in their own homes in Newark and across Nottinghamshire. We support older people, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and younger adults. Most enquiries reach us at a difficult moment. Somebody has had a fall, or a family has realised that the arrangement they have been holding together is no longer working. So the first thing we try to do is take the pressure down and work out what is actually needed, which is often less than people fear and sometimes more than they had admitted. From there we build the visits around the person rather than around our rota. That means asking what time they genuinely want to get up, which tasks they want to keep doing themselves, what makes a morning go badly and who should be rung when something changes. We keep the same carers going to the same households wherever we can, because a familiar face does work that no amount of training substitutes for, and that matters most of all for people living with dementia. Our staff are trained for the conditions they will meet and senior colleagues are contactable during visits. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
