Staying home with our support

The Staying Home Service www.helenahomes.co.uk

Staying happy, healthy and independent

As we get older, we often need a little more help and support but busy lives, work and commitments mean that families can’t always provide it.

How we can help We can introduce you to a telephone befriending service, for example. Signpost you to new hobbies, local events and social activities. Or even help with completing forms and setting up direct debits.

At home Help claiming housing costs and welfare benefits

Budgeting support and money management

Help arranging for mobility aids and property adaptations

Help filling in forms and setting up direct debits

Help ensuring your home is safe, warm and in a good state of repair

Helping you find support for every day household tasks

That’s where the Staying Home Service comes in. We are committed to helping people remain safe, healthy and happy at home for longer. We do this by offering a variety of services, tailored to individual needs that help our customers remain independent, stay in control of their lives and enjoy a better quality of life.

Our success stories

Mrs B aged 85

Mr T, early 80s

We arranged for mobility aids around the home and a referral to Careline. This Careline pendant was essential a week later in raising the alarm following a fall.

With our support Mr T emptied his home of unwanted items, got a grant for new household essentials and started to attend local activities. His mood and quality of life have really improved.

Mr T aged 86 A visit from the Staying Home Team resulted in a series of repairs, a new cooker and washing machine and the appointment of a regular cleaner.
