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.

    High quality home care in Ashington

    At Helping Hands, we’re all about promoting your independence and making sure you live as comfortably as possible in the home you love. We achieve this by having amazing carers and managers across the whole of England and Wales who go above and beyond for their customers, every single day. Our carers are dedicated to making sure you have essential care and companionship when you need it, from an hour here and there to around the clock support. Whether you’d like a daily shower, need continence care, a dry shave, or help applying make-up, carers can make all the difference.

    24/7 live in care support

    If you’d like someone to accompany you to go grocery shopping, take you to the post office, visit family or friends for a catch-up, or attend appointments, live-in care means there’s always someone with you, around the clock. Household tasks including vacuuming, laundry, changing beds, and even light weeding can be carried out by our amazing live-in carers, and they can ensure your personal care and continence needs are supported too.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Ashington

    Helping Hands is not – and has never been – a care agency. We are a private home care company, established in 1989 to provide exceptional care at home for our customers across England and Wales. We directly employ our carers, taking care of their tax and national insurance so that you don’t have to, and ensuring all of their employment needs are handled by us. This leaves you free to relax in your own home, safe in the knowledge that all you have to think about is how you want to be cared for.

    Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Ashington

    Our carers are amazing at what they do, and they’ll work tirelessly to make sure you get to live your best life possible inside and outside of your home. If you struggle to produce nutritious meals or are worried you’re not hydrating enough, our carers can lift that concern away from both you and your loved ones. In addition, if you like to go to a day centre, enjoy crafting activities, exercise classes, or just for a walk in the park, you won’t have to struggle along on your own.
