My father receives a carers visit every week and I am glad to say he is very pleased with his visits and I think he really looks forward to them. He is always full of praise as to how busy the carer is, getting all the jobs done and seeking out the next tasks she can help with. I think dad also likes
to have a chat with the carer and it is good that she boosts his spirit and encourages him in various things. Dad is a much happier person after each visit.
Many thanks for the support you provide.

I was very apprehensive about having carers to take care of my father, who has Alzheimer's, but I can honestly say my experience with Helping Hands Bromsgrove has been fantastic. My father's regular carer is amazing, and my dad is very happy and well taken care of. It gives me peace of mind as well
as taking some of the pressure off me. I would highly recommend them.

We used the team for Mum in the summer of 2024 for a couple of months, she loved all the girls who came in.
Have started using them again and have been so pleased by the speed they have put together a team for us.
Mum has been delighted, feels safe and has enjoyed the chit chat. They have agreed
to take her her do some shopping each week now too so, as a family, we are delighted she is in such good hands. Takes the pressure off us as we are out of town and cant get there every week.

Helping Hands supply me with a shower nurse once a week, which means I can shower safely and helps me to dress. In addition, she may change the sheets, hang up the towels to dry and make me a cup of tea.

For 3-4 years, I have had difficulty getting my wife (with dementia) to clean and wash, and she refused to let me help her. I tried everything and everywhere and was at my wits' end when I employed Helping Hands to deal with it. Their response was fast and professional, and after an efficient needs
assessment and initial visits to establish relations, two of their carers were able to get my wife up, showered, groomed and dressed. My wife loved it, was very pleased and full of praise. This changed my life overnight, lifted a dark cloud, and I now feel I can cope and get some life back. I can thoroughly recommend Helping Hands without reservation. It has also revived my wife's self-esteem.
