Home care in Acton
Visiting care and home care in Acton
Acton’s name is derived from the Old English words āc (oak) and tūn (enclosed garden, enclosure), literally meaning “a garden or a field enclosed by oaks”, suggesting Acton originated from somewhat humble beginnings.
Established in 1989 from similarly humble beginnings, Helping Hands was a family-run business for 30 years and has developed a reputation for compassionate, diligent home care. We still have a strong family-centred ethos, with people at the heart of everything that we do, and with our care plans starting from just 30 minutes a week we’re sure to be able to find a support plan to meet your specific wishes.
Quality care provided in your own home
Home care from our Acton team offers security, mobility, and companionship.
For over 30 years, we've provided nurse-supported assistance, companionship and expert care to thousands of individuals across England and Wales. As industry leaders in home care, we know just what it takes to provide the right level of support so that you can retain your independence in the comfort of your own home.

Regional Care Director
As the Regional Care Director, it is my role to lead a hugely skilled care team operating in London, Essex and the South East, ensuring the highest levels of care are being delivered to our customers on a daily basis. We have a large branch network equipped to deal with all your hourly care needs, and I am also the Registered Manager with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for our live-in program, where we are set up to support you on a more permanent basis. I am inspired on a daily basis by the true lengths my colleagues go to, to ensure that customers can continue to live long, healthy lives from the comfort of their own homes. This is one of the main reasons that inspired me to join care.

Other care we provide
Specialised Home care in Acton
Our home care plans are fully adaptable to your requirements and wishes, and our brilliant carers are fully trained to support your specific needs, whatever your condition. We’ve got over 30 years’ experience in providing person-centred care to people living with dementia, motor neurone disease, spinal injuries, mental health conditions, loneliness and limited mobility. In that time, we’ve learned just how valuable your independence and comfort are to your wellbeing, so being able to receive care in the familiar surroundings of your own home is incredibly beneficial.
Our individually tailored Live-in care services
Whether you or your loved ones are finding your care requirements to be increasingly complex, or you’re not comfortable living on your own and need companionship, live-in care is a brilliant alternative to a care home. Our superb live-in carers will provide you with round-the-clock companionship and expert support, assisting you in the home and with your daily routines. We always listen to your preferences and your wishes to ensure you’re matched with a carer who shares your interests and personality, and our carers possess expertise in supporting people living with various conditions.
Better than a care agency in Acton
Helping Hands are a private home care company, rather than an agency, which means everything’s a lot more straightforward with us and there’ll be certain standards you can be confident we’ll meet. For instance, we directly employ our carers, whereas many agencies will require their carers to be self-employed. This means you won’t get any unexpected charges or hidden costs with us, and our brilliant carers will be able to focus all their energy on supporting your independence to the best of their ability.
Domiciliary care to meet your needs
Domiciliary care is a brilliant option if you find yourself needing extra support but want to remain in your own home where you’re familiar with your surroundings and close to your loved ones. With over 30 years’ experience in delivering compassionate, people-centred care, we’re perfectly placed to assess and meet your care requirements. Our visiting service starts from just 30 minutes a week, and we’ll take steps to ensure you can design a package of care that meets your needs, regardless of your condition. Alternatively, our live-in care service provides you with round-the-clock support, companionship and reassurance.
