Visiting care and home care in Chatham
Rich in maritime history and splendour, the Kentish town of Chatham has some of the oldest dockyards in the UK. Home briefly to Charles Dickens whilst his father was stationed in the Royal Navy offices, Chatham is also home to one of the country’s leading homecare provider teams – Helping Hands.
Covering areas such as Chatham, Rochester, Strood, Cuxton and the surrounding areas, the local Helping Hands team are available to provide care whenever you need it. Experts in person-centred care, we work with you to find out your preferences and fit in to your existing routines.
Whether you’re living with a complex condition that requires round-the-clock support or you just need assistance once a week with getting out and about in your elderly years, we’re here to help.

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