Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about arranging care with Devine Hands.
With a conversation, not a contract. Call or message us and we'll arrange a free consultation at a time that suits you. A registered nurse carries out a full assessment of needs, routines and preferences, and we recommend a plan - which you're free to take, adjust or decline.
Someone we'd trust in our own. Every carer has passed enhanced DBS checks, full referencing and our own selection process - and before care begins, we introduce your carer so the first visit is never a stranger at the door.
Once the assessment is complete, care can usually begin within days. For urgent situations - hospital discharge, a family emergency, staffing gaps - our team can often mobilise within 24 to 48 hours.
It depends on hours and complexity, and we'll quote it plainly - no hidden extras, no surprise invoices. For many people, focused home care or live-in care costs less than a residential placement, with one-to-one attention no facility can offer. We're happy to talk through funding options, including local authority and NHS routes.
The plan changes - promptly and under nurse review. Care is reviewed regularly and re-assessed whenever health or circumstances shift, so support always fits the person as they are now, not as they were at the first assessment.
We support families and organisations across the United Kingdom. Contact us with your postcode and we'll confirm availability in your area - usually the same day.
