Visiting care and home care in Alnwick
Situated on the south bank of the River Aln, the historic town of Alnwick dates to about AD 600 and is home to the prestigious Alnwick Castle. The town is also famous for its popular second-hand bookshop, Barter Books, where in 2000 the now famous “Keep Calm and Carry On” World War II poster was discovered in a box of old books.
You can be sure that our staff will always provide the greatest calibre of care because all of our home care services are independently regulated and supervised by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales.
At Helping Hands Alnwick, we’re passionate about supporting people to carry on living in their own homes, because we believe that home is the best place to receive care.

Thousands of our customers have shared their experiences of care with us on customer review site Trustpilot with Helping Hands rated 4.7 out of 5.
We only employ those special people with the right levels of patience, empathy, and compassion to care for you as we'd want our own families to be cared for.
We know that good care means something different to each of us. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your family to understand your needs and preferences.
When finding care becomes a decision for the wider family, we can help you consider your options. We keep in touch once care is in place so we can adapt care as needs change.
