Family-run and experts in home care since 1989
Fully flexible care packages as your needs change
Flexible care provided in your own home with a fully qualified carer. Visits start from as little as 30 minutes up to several hourly or overnight calls throughout the week.
One-to-one support from a fully qualified care that lives with you. Full-time support so you can stay at home where you feel most comfortable.
Visiting care is a brilliant way to allow you or your loved ones to receive care in the place you love most and are completely familiar with – your home. Our superb home carers can help you with whichever tasks you most need assistance – whether that be household support, personal care, attending appointments, mobility, or more. Our 30-plus years of home care experience have taught us that a person-centred approach is the only way to provide our customers with home care that makes a genuine difference.
Our live-in carers are dedicated to providing compassionate, round-the-clock live-in care and companionship in a supportive but unobtrusive manner, meaning you get all the support you need in the comfort of your own home. When one of our carers lives in your home with you, they will be able to assist you around the house in any way you need – including mobility, personal care, housework and attending appointments – allowing you to enjoy a more independent, fulfilling life.
Domiciliary care is care in your home. At Helping Hands, we have over 30 years of experience in providing both visiting and live-in domiciliary care, so we’re experts when it comes to home care. We ensure you or your loved ones receive a bespoke package of support that is designed to suit your specific needs and is carried out to your requirements, and our carers are dedicated to providing compassionate, flexible care that allows you to live a more independent, enjoyable life.
Our sole purpose is to ensure you receive the best care possible in the comfort of your own home, and as a private home care provider we’re much better placed to do that than a home care agency. We’re fully regulated by the CQC and CIW, and we employ our carers directly rather than insisting on self-employment. Additionally, we’ve got 30-plus years of home care experience and expertise to draw upon, which is why you’ll always receive the highest standards of care with us.
With over 30 years’ experience in caring for people living with dementia, we fully understand the importance of being at home, maintaining familiarity with surroundings and people, and keeping close to loved ones. Our flexible dementia care packages are personalised to your wishes and requirements, and focuses on allowing you to enjoy the comfort of your own home whilst experiencing as much independence as possible. With our team of compassionate, specialist carers, you’re guaranteed the very best support every step of the way.
Are you finding day-to-day tasks and routines are becoming more time-consuming and laborious than they used to be? At Helping Hands, we provide elderly care packages that are designed specifically around your particular requirements and specialised for your condition, meaning we can provide as little or as much assistance as you desire. From helping with laundry and meal preparation to assisting with shopping and activities, our superb carers can support you with every aspect of your routine.
Our respite care allows you to avoid the stressful situation of suddenly finding yourself without care at short notice. Whether your regular carer is suddenly unavailable or you find yourself in need of a short-term care option, we’re almost always able to provide emergency care cover within 24 hours’ notice, meaning you’re able to continue with your normal daily routine without worrying about no-one being around to support you with housework or personal care.
We have a superb team of fully-trained carers at Helping Hands who are dedicated to providing you with exceptional, empathetic care. All of our carers undergo background checks and DBS screenings, as well as receiving training on our award-winning induction course which covers manual handling, health and safety, safeguarding and equality & diversity. Our careful recruitment process ensures we only employ carers who share our ethos of being person-centred and compassionate. For your peace of mind, we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales.
