Why Chores & Challenges?
“My stepfather passed away prematurely at 70, throwing my Mum's life into turmoil. What struck me was the sheer amount of chores and challenges that she suddenly needed to tackle, adding to her stress and anxiety at a very difficult time. Things like managing bills, speaking to service providers, shopping, cooking and maintaining the house and garden all became a burden.
At Home Counties Carers we have built a fantastic reputation for caring by listening to our clients and their families and providing services that meet their needs. This new service will help many people like my Mum to live less stressful lives with greater joy.”

So what is a
Hatha Helper?
A 'Hatha Helper' is a local, kind, caring, considerate and giving person who can provide a wealth of useful services to make the chores and challenges of daily life more joyous.
Our 'Hatha Helpers' are free to choose their working hours, so will collaborate with you to make things work. They are drivers, they wear their own clothes, are polite, well mannered, timely, have good and clear communications skills and have traditional common sense.
How Chores & Challenges can help
Collaboration and trust are what we are striving for in our relationship with you, and what we expect from your relationship with your 'Hatha Helper'. They'll be able to help with things like...
- Admin tasks - bills, paperwork, utilities even speaking with BT
- House keeping - cleaning, tidying, sorting and recycling
- Home maintenance - we'll arrange plumbers, electricians, TV and broadband
- Days out - fun trips, experiences, and even a Nile cruise if you fancy it!
- Driving - we'll take you anywhere (well, almost anywhere!)
- Health - accompanied trips to doctors, hospital, physio etc.
- Shopping - shop until you drop or let us push the trolley
- Gardening - taking care of hedges, lawns and leaves
- Handyman - light bulbs, dripping taps, handrails, even a splash of paint
- Just being there - for chit chat, laughter and listening
Think Chores & Challenges might be right for you? Here’s how it works
To get the ball rolling please call the office and ask for Chores & Challenges. We’ll take your details and one of our Hatha Helpers will contact you to arrange a telephone call or meeting, whichever suits you.
The meeting will normally take place at your home, last for about an hour and will give you and yourHatha Helper the chance to get to know each other and learn what you might need help with. There is no cost at this stage and no obligation to continue with Chores & Challenges if you decide it is not for you.
If you feel that Chores & Challenges is for you, we'll ask you to sign some minimal paperwork and request an upfront payment of £360. This equates to approximately 6 sessions with your Hatha Helper at 2 hours each. You can decide when you would like your sessions and how long they last.
Once you have had the initial 6 sessions you can decide if you would like to carry on. If you would, we will invoice you for another 6 sessions and the process begins again. Simple and effective!
