    24/7 live in care support

    When you choose live-in care, you choose constant companionship that makes the days more enjoyable. You may worry that having someone living in your home may take some getting used to, however you’ll quickly realise what an asset they are and wonder how you managed without them! There’ll be no chance of loneliness with live-in care.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Claygate

    Care agencies are not subject to regulation the way private home care companies are, so you’re at risk of lower standards of support. We work hard to select only the best people to come and work for us, checking their references and screening them through the DBS. This way, we know exactly who’s coming into your home, and so do you.

    FAQs

    Home care in Claygate is professional support provided in your own home, helping you or a loved one stay safe, comfortable and independent without needing to move into residential care. It can be arranged as regular visiting care, occasional support, respite care, or full-time live-in care, depending on your needs.

    With Helping Hands, care is built around your routine, so support can include anything from help getting up in the morning to companionship, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and personal care.
