Care
Some aspects of daily life can become challenging as we age, but most people want to keep living independently in their own home for as long as possible. Living at a SageHaus retirement village means help and care are easy to put in place as and when you need support, greatly reducing the likelihood of ever needing to move to a care home.
Designed for later life
Futureproof Homes
All SageHaus homes are designed to building regulations Part M4 (ii) to adapt to care needs as residents age, including single-level living, adaptable space to accommodate a live-in carer, wide doorways to allow for wheelchairs or mobility aids and accessible bathrooms. All of these features are designed to make daily life easier and also facilitate the delivery of effective care and support as needed, allowing SageHaus residents to ‘age in place’ in the home they love, rather than having to move.
SageHaus care partner, Helping Hands, is there to support you in this new chapter of your life providing flexible and discreet care in your home, tailored to your needs.
Helping Hands is a highly-regarded, CQC-registered care provider dedicated to helping people live well in the homes and communities they love. With 6,000 carers across the country, Helping Hands is trusted by 10,000 clients every month and has achieved a 4.8-star ‘Excellent’ rating on Trust Pilot.
From visiting care once a week, right through to live-in care, Helping Hands can provide flexible, tailored support that you can scale up or down as your needs change. You can access companionship, help with shopping or housework, support to attend appointments or social occasions, post-operative or illness care to help you while you rehabilitate, right through to personal care, clinical nursing care or support with dementia and life-limiting illness.
All Helping Hands carers are employees (not agency or temporary staff) who are trained and supported to deliver the highest standards of care. The SageHaus team is on-hand to help you arrange care with Helping Hands, or you can continue to use your own care team if you choose.
