Home care in Glastonbury
Visiting care and home care in Glastonbury
Perhaps most famous for its association with the world-famous music festival, the medieval town of Glastonbury is home to a wealth of fascinating historical sites and buildings – including the iconic Tor. It’s also one of our carers’ favourite places to visit customers, as we never tire of the town’s quirky, offbeat culture and history.
If you’re currently living in or near the town, it’s only natural you’ll want to remain in your family home and continue enjoying the beauty of your surroundings. With dedicated visiting care or live-in care from our expertly-trained carers, we can help you continue living life on your own terms whilst benefitting from personalised, one-to-one support. And, because all of our care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission, you and your loved ones can have total peace of mind about the consistent excellence of the service you’ll receive.

Area Care Manager
My main roles and responsibilties as Area Care Manager are to oversee and improve the running of the branches within the South West. I am responsible for ensuring that our clients and carers are kept safe, and that the service we are providing is of high quality. I have always had a passion in caring for others. The term 'caring' for me has never been about rushing in and helping someone to get washed and dressed. For me it's about making a positive impact to someone else' s life; helping them achieve what they want, and enabling them to remain independent at home in the place that means the most to them. The care we provide at Helping Hands is of such high quality, and I truly believe that if my parents required care, Helping Hands would be the first I would contact. The carers always go over and above to ensure the clients are happy, and as an area care manager that's certainly one thing I can say I am proud of. It' s clear that all of us at Helping Hands live, sleep and breath the culture and we love what we do.

High quality home care in Glastonbury
When you’re looking for a home care provider, whether for yourself or a loved one, it’s only natural you’ll want to find one that has a proven track record of excellence and champions a customer-centred approach to care. From your very first phone call to our friendly support team, we’ll make sure you’re at the heart of every decision that’s taken regarding your care. Your local care manager in Glastonbury will visit you at home for an initial care assessment, where they’ll take the time to understand any condition-related needs – as well as getting to grips with the way you like things to be done around the home. From there, and for every step of your care journey, we’ll ensure your carers are enabling you to enjoy the best possible quality of life day in, day out.
24/7 live in care support
One of the areas of care in which we specialise is live-in care. If you’re at a stage of life where you’re considering moving into residential care, you may wish to consider live-in care instead. At Helping Hands, we firmly believe that home is the best place in which to receive the care you need. Staying at home allows you to maintain as normal a lifestyle as possible, with. Remaining in the familiar home environment can also be beneficial for those living with dementia, as one of the main symptoms of many types of dementia is a heightened sense of confusion – which can be increased with a move into residential care.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Glastonbury
Helping Hands are a private care provider, which is different from a care agency. With most agencies, you’ll be connected with a third-party carer who isn’t directly paid, managed or sometimes even trained by the agency. Whilst this is normally fine, you won’t be guaranteed the same high standards across the board that you get when you partner with a private care provider. All of our Glastonbury carers are employed by us, which means we handle their salary payments, provide them with a pension and holiday leave, and give them job security. The reason we take this approach is because we believe this allows our carers to focus their energy and time into providing you – the customer – with the very best possible support, rather than having to worry about their career.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Glastonbury
We’re extremely proud of our wonderful team of carers in Glastonbury – they truly are exceptional at what they do, and always deliver an incredibly high standard of care to each and every customer. We only hire people to our teams who are clearly passionate about helping others, and who possess a kind, empathetic personality. When they start with us, every carer receives our industry-renowned training, which equips them to offer a wide range of care services to people with a variety of needs – from the straightforward to the very complex. This initial training is supplemented by ongoing refresher courses, ensuring our carers’ knowledge and skillset are always relevant and up to date.
