Emergency home care

Circumstances can suddenly change, meaning that you need home care at the drop of a hat. We have over 155 branches across England and Wales, so if you need emergency care it’s likely that one of our trusted carers can help.

Call us if you need home care in a hurry. We can arrange for care from a private carer to start in as little as 24 hours of you getting in touch. In a crisis we can often turn this around even quicker.

At Helping Hands, we’ve helped tens of thousands of people at home in their hour of need. From the moment we take your call, we’ll always endeavour to have one of our carers with you in your home to support you within 24 hours so that you’re never alone.

We caught up with one of our customers, Brian, to find out how the visiting care he receives from his local Helping Hands care team is enabling him and his wife, Pearl, to continue living independently, confidently and securely in their own home.

Sometimes events can happen so fast that families are left wondering how they will cope. Whether there’s been an accident, a sudden illness or you’ve been let down by your current carer, we’re here to help at the last minute – even if you have complex needs.

Whatever your support needs, most of our branches can provide emergency care to you in your home within 24 hours of your initial phone call. Below are some of the instances in which we often find our customers requesting emergency care at home.

We’ve got over 30 years’ experience in providing compassionate, transformative care to people in the familiar surroundings of their own homes.

Our emergency carers enable our customers to be dignified, comfortable and independent through a range of practical, physical and emotional support services.

As loved ones get older, it’s only natural that they’ll start to require a bit of extra help in their personal lives and around the home – especially those living with a condition or experiencing frailty.

Whatever their reason for requiring support, emergency care from Helping Hands can help your elderly loved one in their hour of need.

Our branches span from the coast of Devon to County Durham, so we’re always on hand to provide care when you need it.

We’ll walk you through everything over the phone and can even arrange for your local care manager to visit you immediately, either in your family home or at the hospital.
