Friends Helping At Home - Plymouth
Friends Helping at Home provide a quality enabling and caring service. We introduce professional, checked service providers and carers that you can meet before deciding whether you wish to book them.
Contacts details
We are not the typical agency. We offer a highly personalised and affordable service with a dedicated person in your area, your point of contact, to help you find the services you want, when you want them. Typically, our customers can save between 10 and 20% on their costs and enjoy total control over selecting known helpers and carers.
Every service provider and carer undergoes a rigorous interview process conducted by a local branch manager. This includes ensuring that enhanced DBS checks, references, and insurance are in place.
If you have decided that live-in care is the best solution for you, then there is a solution that every family is entitled to. This is called the 'Direct Payment' scheme, which every council has. This basically puts the funding of care in the hands of the family, enabling them to select the care provider they prefer and the level of care they feel is suitable.
The council will assess the needs of your loved one and determine an amount as a budget for you to use. This can be anything from £50 up to £600 per week, depending on your needs and finances. Our branch manager will be able to assist you in obtaining the funding that you might be entitled to.
