Visiting care and home care in Bristol
A city that straddles the River Avon, Bristol is sometimes referred to as the ‘Birthplace of America’, after John Cabot sailed from Bristol on The Matthew to help ‘discover’ North America in 1497. While Bristol is home to a rich maritime history, Bristol Cathedral, and the elusive street artist, Banksy, it is now also home to a team of expert Helping Hands carers.
To ensure we meet with only the highest standards of care, all aspects of our service are inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and we are proud to be the only home care provider to be endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care.
From your hobbies to daily tasks, there is a carer prepared to assist you with visiting care starting on a weekly basis, to full-time live-in care. No matter how complex your needs are, your carer will be appropriately-trained and personally-matched to you. We encourage our carers to adapt to your requirements and allow you freedom of choice, in order to support your independence and encourage your wellbeing.

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