Visiting care and home care in Birkenhead
As early as 1150 a ferry service began operating from Birkenhead due to Benedictine monks building a priory there and during the Industrial Revolution, Birkenhead avoided a lot of the industrialisation that was happening in neighbouring Liverpool, thanks to the River Mersey separating them.
We understand growing from small roots at Helping Hands, as over our 30-year history we have expanded from our first local branch to well over 155. Our exceptional visiting and live-in care services will support you or your loved ones in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Birkenhead 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.
