Home care in Ashington
Visiting care and home care in Ashington
Once a centre of the coal mining industry, Ashington is nestled 15 miles to the north of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. There is debate about whether Ashington should be referred to as a village or a small town, but at Helping Hands it makes no difference to us - we’re only interested in supporting the people from the area who need us.
Our nearby branch team in Cramlington are ready to hear from you if you’d like some additional support at home on either a visiting or live-in basis, in and around the Linton, Lynemouth, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, and Bothal areas. Because our services are also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you and your loved ones can always be sure you’re in the best hands.
Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Ashington team can help.
We've been caring for people for decades, helping them maintain their independence and continue to live well in the homes and communities they love.
Over 155 branches across the UK means we're local to you.
Regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, giving you peace of mind that we meet the highest standards of service and 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.
