The cotton industry revolutionised Ashton’s fortunes in 1769. Thanks to the burgeoning transport network there was an economic boom in cotton spinning, weaving, and coal mining, and while these have declined since the mid-20th century, Ashton is still considered a centre for commerce.
We understand the importance of continually updating and improving, as over the past 30 years we haven’t sat back on our laurels, we’ve continually strived so that our visiting and live-in care services became examples of excellence in care.

Handpicked carers
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.
Care that's tailored to you
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.
Supporting families
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.

Better than a care agency in Ashton-under-Lyne
When you have care from an agency, you’ll probably find they bill you for things you weren’t expecting, such as introducing you to a suitable carer or other ‘hidden extras.’ At Helping Hands, we consider that all part of the inclusive service and we keep our pricing structure and billing procedures transparent and easy to understand, so you won’t be given any nasty surprises when your bill arrives.
Specialist dementia care at home
Living with dementia isn’t easy, which is why it’s so important to have a dementia specialist company providing your care, if the time comes that you require it. It’s a good idea to have conversations with your loved ones about care sooner rather than later, so that further along your dementia journey your wishes will be able to be carried out. Remaining in your beloved home for dementia care can benefit you physically as well as emotionally too.
