Private Practical Support vs Traditional Home Care – What’s the Difference?

Flexible Help at Home Without Traditional Home Care

Home support in Dublin can mean different things to different people. When people hear “help at home”, they often think of traditional Home Care. But not everyone who needs an extra helping hand in everyday life needs Home Care. SLS Helping Hands International provides flexible, privately arranged practical support for individuals, families and households.
How is it different from traditional Home Care?
Traditional Home Care generally focuses on assessed care needs and an agreed care plan. HSE Home Support, for example, involves an assessment to determine what support a person needs and what services can be provided.
SLS Helping Hands International works differently. You can contact us directly to discuss the practical support you need. You do not need to have a medical condition, an assessed care need or belong to a particular age group.
Our service does not replace medical, clinical or personal care. It is designed to provide practical assistance with everyday life.
Who might benefit?
Our services may suit busy individuals and families, people living independently, someone who needs temporary practical help after returning home from hospital, or a household adjusting after the arrival of a new baby.
Sometimes you simply need another pair of hands.
Support may include companionship and well-being check-ins, shopping and errands, meal preparation, light household support, home organisation and decluttering, transport for everyday errands and basic administrative assistance.
Support arranged around you
With SLS Helping Hands International, we discuss what you need, what we can provide, how often you would like support and a schedule that works for both sides.
Services can be arranged individually or combined depending on what is most useful to you or your household.
SLS Helping Hands International was created around a simple principle: you do not have to be ill, elderly or receiving formal care to sometimes need reliable practical help in everyday life.
