Visiting care and home care in Barking

At Helping Hands, we're proud to offer home care that's fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), ensuring we're always up to standard and striving to be the best we can be. Our carers can offer you flexible care that aligns with your schedule and lifestyle. We offer live-in care for full-time, around-the-clock support, visiting care for scheduled visits, and respite care for short-term, temporary help.

In Barking, our approach to care is built around getting to know the person behind the needs. We take the time to understand your daily routines, personal preferences, and what helps you feel most at ease in the home you love in Barking. Organising care doesn't need to be overwhelming, so Helping Hands will be here to make sure the transition to support is easy, stress-free and personal to you.

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.

24/7 live-in care support

Our live-in care is perfect for you if you need full-time, around-the-clock support that's there for you at any time during the day or night. Our live-in care offers continuous support that can help with personal care, such as hygiene or getting dressed in the morning. We'll help to form a consistent and healthy routine that can include light exercise to help with your mobility, a healthy eating plan, or even a scheduled time to get involved in your favourite hobbies like gardening or exploring Barking.

We know it can be overwhelming to invite a stranger to move into your home, so we try to match you with a carer who suits your personality, preferences, and even sense of humour! This way, the relationship between you and your carer will feel comfortable and genuine, and you may even be welcoming a lifelong friend into your home.
