About Helping Hands

We are Helping Hands Cheadle, a home care agency supporting people in their own homes in Cheadle and the surrounding parts of Stockport. We work with older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia and people with a physical disability. The thing families most often want to know is whether care at home will be enough. Our honest answer is that it depends less on the number of hours than on whether the arrangement is the right shape. A single well timed call each morning can hold a week together. Four badly planned visits can leave somebody feeling managed rather than helped. So we spend time on the shape of it, and we revisit it, because needs move on. With dementia, the most important detail is usually who comes through the door. A familiar carer makes a visit work where an unfamiliar one, however capable, may not. For people with a physical disability, it is time and detail that count. An unhurried transfer, equipment set up properly, and asking the person how they prefer it done rather than assuming. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
