Borehamwood is perhaps most famous for the Elstree film and TV studios that it houses, however there was a significant history in the town long before the studios arrived.
We’re familiar with significant history at Helping Hands, as since our formation in 1989 we’ve provided visiting and live-in care to thousands of our customers, so they can remain comfortably cared for in their own homes.
Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Borehamwood 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.

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.

As the Regional Care Director, it is my role to lead a hugely skilled care team operating in London, Essex and the South East, ensuring the highest levels of care are being delivered to our customers on a daily basis. We have a large branch network equipped to deal with all your hourly care needs, and I am also the Registered Manager with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for our live-in program, where we are set up to support you on a more permanent basis.
I am inspired on a daily basis by the true lengths my colleagues go to, to ensure that customers can continue to live long, healthy lives from the comfort of their own homes. This is one of the main reasons that inspired me to join care.
