Handy Helpers was formed in 1985 and is a private company based in Seaford, East Sussex.

We are an Approved Provider to East Sussex County Council and members of the United Kingdom Home Care Association.

We offer a comprehensive 24-hour home care service in the client's own home tailored to the specific needs of each individual client. We aim to provide a totally professional, responsive home care service to all of our clients, to respect their race, religion and cultural background, and to help them live as comfortably and independently as possible. We cover an area from Peacehaven in the west to East Dean in the east and as far north as the A27.

Given the choice, nearly everyone would prefer to live in their own home instead of leaving familiar surroundings and moving into residential care. Handy Helpers is now making that choice a realistic option for the elderly and people with disabilities who wish to remain in their own homes as long as reasonably possible.

We assess each client's needs in full consultation with the client, their family or friends and other relevant services. We will then recommend a totally integrated package of care and support tailored to the client’s needs.

Our own skilled carers work closely with doctors, district nurses, Social Services and other professionals, as well as the client's family and friends. By complementing these essential services and concerned carers, we can provide a flexible, integrated service that helps to support the client in their own home.
  

 

Few things in life are more comforting for the elderly than the simple pleasures of their own home. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of extra help to make staying at home possible even for those who are frail or ill.

One of the most common needs of elderly people is assistance with personal care and toileting. Relying on family or friends for these needs can be very distressing and can often result in unnecessary discomfort for all concerned. However, if the elderly client has the option of calling Handy Helpers, this situation can be avoided. Our professional carers can respond at short notice to take care of any requirements, whether it's for personal care or other needs.

Handy Helpers is not a medical service we do not administer medical services, including the application of dressings, catheter care, giving drugs by injection or supervising any specialist medical treatments. Should any of these services be required, we will contact the appropriate professionals.

Caring for an elderly member of the family or a person with some form of disability can often be 24-hour a day job. The carer may find it difficult to have any kind of social life, especially if they are looking after a spouse on their own. Even whole families can be trapped in a cycle of dependency when the cared for member of the family can never be left alone.

Calling in professional carers from Handy Helpers can offer family members a much needed break without feeling guilty or irresponsible. Often the client enjoys the change of pace as much as the carer.

 

 

We carry out some of the types of duties that many other domiciliary care providers cannot. This can be anything from doing the shopping or providing meals to a full live in package or even terminal care. Our service is personalised to each client.

We have extensive experience of working with solicitors who are acting as Power of Attorney and can run the live of those who have no family member or friend who is able to provide this sort of care.

We ensure that all staff are fully trained and supported so that they provide the high level of service we demand. The directors of the business take a personal interest in every client.
