Home care in Bristol
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.

Meet the Bristol care team
Branch Care Manager
At Helping Hands Bristol, my main role is to ensure that we provide high quality care and a safe service. I ensure the branch runs smoothly day-to-day and both the customers and carers are happy. I have always been around others who care growing up, as most of my family have worked in some part of the care sector and believed it was my calling. I would care from my Grandad from the age of 15 and found my passion to help others. I started as a carer in 2014 and grew through the job roles. At Helping Hands we have great values and always ensure we provide a high-quality service for our customers, with person-centred support plans to ensure our customers receive the best service that they deserve. Our care team in Bristol is made up of a diverse, inspirational team, empathetic and supportive to our customers. In my spare time I thoroughly enjoy travelling, a bit of shopping and lunching with friends. I enjoy music and have been roped in to singing at events and family functions from time to time.

Other care we provide
High quality home care Bristol
We understand how important it is that you remain in control of your care, which is why the team will work with you to provide a personalised care plan that puts your needs at the centre. Whether your loved one is living with dementia and you are concerned for their wellbeing at home, or you simply need some extra support in getting out and about in your local community; our Bristol team are here to give you the support you need, when you need it.
When the need for more intensive support arises, we understand that residential care isn’t everybody’s first choice. Equally, we appreciate the difference it can make to be surrounded by your own home comforts, especially if you are adapting to life following a life-changing diagnosis, illness or injury. That’s why the team are here to provide dedicated, tailor-made care packages that are built by and around you.
We’re also proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s leading dementia care specialists, and with 850,000 people in the UK living with the condition, we’re not just here to help you with the practical things – we’re here to give you and your loved ones the guidance and support that you need so that you can live well with dementia.
With each of our carers completing an intense training programme, our Bristol team are fully equipped to provide high-quality support for Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cerebral palsy, elderly care, mental health conditions and many more.
Live-in care - round the clock support
Our live-in care in Bristol is completely tailored to you and your individual needs, so we can be here for you in whichever way you need us to. Whether you need support with your mobility while you take a trip over to Cribbs Causeway or you enjoy walking around the city to find the hidden work of Banksy, your carer will be right there with you every step of the way.

Private care in Bristol
With a private care package, you are in control of the service you receive. From your first conversation with our Bristol team to weeks, months or years down the line with your care, the frequency of your visits and level of support is determined by you – as part of a bespoke care plan. Whether you require long-term or short-term assistance, weekly visits or a live-in carer, we ensure your needs are catered for as per your request.
While considering your options, it is likely you’ll find pros and cons between residential facilities and various home care providers. With a private carer from Helping Hands Bristol, you can feel assured that the care you receive is tailored entirely to you. No set meal times, no restrictive visiting hours, and a fully-trained carer who understands your condition and treats you with the compassion and empathy you deserve.
As a company that is built on a foundation of family values, we understand how important it is for you to feel free and independent in your own home; that’s why our Bristol team also provide dedicated domiciliary care to ensure that you have the support you need so that you can feel comfortable at home.
The difference between Helping Hands and a care agency in Bristol
When deciding on the right type of care for you, there are lots of things to consider and it can be quite a stressful time for you and your loved ones. Care agency services tend to introduce you to a carer and then leave you to manage the contract with them, including the paperwork, their pay and even finding a replacement carer if your carer becomes unavailable.
With Helping Hands Bristol, we’ll take care of all of that for you – from recruiting individuals who are passionate about caring for others, training them to the highest industry standards and ensuring they have the right skills and personality to fit in with you, to arranging their breaks and pay, ensuring they have been fully vetted by the Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) and also making sure there will be a carer to fill in for them should they become unwell or need to take a holiday.
We’ve been dedicated to providing person-centred home care to thousands of families across the country for over 30 years, but this wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for our fantastic workforce of carers. Selected for their skills and expertise, kindness and their unfaltering willingness to help others, all of our carers go through a stringent recruitment process including full background checks, such as a Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screening.
