Home care in Croydon
Visiting care and home care in Croydon
Birthplace to the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Croydon is within easy reach of the hustle and bustle of London’s centre. But with one of the busiest stations in London outside of Zone 1, navigating your way around your local community can be difficult if you’re in need of a little extra support. With person-centred home care available across the area, the team of dedicated private carers are here to help you feel safe and supported both at home and out in the local community.
Choose from either our home care service for short, regular visits to fit in with your schedule or more in-depth support from our live-in care service, which covers 24-hour home care.

Meet the Croydon care team
Branch Care Manager
My main role is to provide our increasing number of customers with the best possible care, and manage a happy team of carers. I've worked with vulnerable people for many years and still find it the most rewarding role. I love being part of making other people's life easier and better - whatever it takes in this line of work. I appreciate people need our help at their most difficult times and I want to justify their trust. We aim to achieve the highest standard in our industry. While it might be easier to say than do, Helping Hands do have a strategy and structure to work towards this goal. Our carers not only understand this dedication but also demonstrate it in practice every time they help their customers. I am a bit of an information junkie, from the serious and boring stuff (like rules, regulations, science) to the downright silly (celebrities and horror movies). Apart from reading, I also love travelling and hiking. Animals and plants are my other passion. I am seriously thinking of breeding Shiba dogs once I've retired.

Why We're Better than a Care Agency in Croydon
We value our home carers highly and you’ll see the difference this makes when they come to your home, being motivated to deliver our services compassionately. They’ll support you in every way they can to ensure that you live your very best life possible in the home you love, and that’s the type of service you only get from a private home care company with over 30 years of experience, rather than an agency. Because we aren’t an agency we employ all of our carers directly, meaning you are supported by highly motivated staff who will always focus on you as the priority. We value our carers and support them so that they can support you, and our mission is always “Our care makes it possible for you to live safely at home”.
Private Care Services in Croydon
At Helping Hands, we began caring for people in their own homes in 1989, and from the beginning we’ve been delivering outstanding, person-centred care to thousands of customers across the whole of England and Wales. Our fully managed care service will safeguard your wellbeing, because our amazing carers frequently go above and beyond to ensure your life at home continues to the highest possible standards. We’ve never been a home care agency; instead, we are a private company who directly employ our carers so that you don’t have to worry about who pays their wages. You’ll receive the best possible care in your own home, and even when your bill arrives you won’t be unpleasantly surprised by hidden costs or referral fees, as our costings are always transparent and easily to understand.
