Why Choose Private Care for Elderly Support?
The reasons for choosing private care at home are individual for each person. At Helping Hands, we find it’s because our customers love their homes and want to continue living in a place that means the world to them. Maybe it’s because they’ve raised a family there, spent their whole life in happy surroundings, or they have cherished memories of a life well-lived. Our amazing carers help them to achieve that and much more.
Personalisation
It’s impossible for care homes to tailor one-to-one, personalised care, but by remaining at home, you are your carer’s only focus. You’ll have a tailored plan of care that includes every part of your daily routine so you’ll always remain at the very centre of your care and support.
Continuity of Care
Because we own and manage all of our 155 branches across England and Wales, we’re able to offer a continuity of care that you just won’t find elsewhere. This is just one of the ways that Helping Hands stands head and shoulders above our competitors.
Flexibility
Our branch teams are solely focused on how you want to live and will tailor your care plan to your needs. Your plan will remain flexible, though, so that if your condition changes, your plan can be easily changed as well, avoiding unnecessary upheaval or delays.
Key Benefits of Receiving Private Home Care
While price isn’t usually the first thing on your mind when you’re looking for exceptional private home care, it’s important to compare both what you’re looking for and what offers the best fit. Remaining at home can offer a more cost-effective solution to your care needs, considering that you cannot put a price on comfort and familiarity!
Maintaining Independence
Remaining as independent as possible is what drives many people to seek care at home. Staying at home means that you’ll receive dedicated care tailored to you, rather than having to wait until care staff have time to help you, whether you choose visiting or live-in support.
Emotional Well-being and Mental Health
Loneliness and isolation are real dangers for people when they live alone, especially after the passing of a long-term partner. Live-in care, where your carer lives in your home with you, means that you’re never alone, while your carer maintains discreet levels of support.
Family Involvement and Peace of Mind
Your family may already be involved in your care and may be anxious that you continue to be looked after to the highest standards. Coming to a company with a national presence, long established since 1989, means that you’ll all be satisfied with the support you receive.
Our Long-Held Company Values
We were founded with family values, and we still work by them today. We always strive for excellence, offer a listening ear whenever it’s needed, and encourage our employees to be the best versions of themselves possible. This helps us to continue building on our success.

Live-in care
Private Home Care with Helping Hands
Private home care is exactly as it sounds. Being able to remain living in a place you love and that offers familiar and comforting surroundings is desirable for many reasons. Not needing to uproot and sell your home is definitely a bonus, as is being able to keep the people, pets and possessions that you wish to close by.
Tailored Care Plans
Your care plan will be tailored to your exact needs. We don’t believe in ‘one size fits all’ care; instead, we build your support around you and make sure you get to live comfortably at home. We’ll build your care plan with you and make sure you always remain at the centre of it.
Support for Complex Conditions
We have a wealth of experience gained over decades of caring for a wide range of conditions. These include lower-level as well as more complex needs. Many of our customers are living with life-limiting or palliative care needs, but we always make sure they live as well as possible.
Specialist Elderly Support
Helping Hands are considered the UK’s private home care specialists, and that’s not our opinion, but rather that of our 4000 favourable Trustpilot reviews. We’ve been supporting elderly people at home for decades, so it’s no surprise we’re the UK’s most trusted.
