Why choose Helping Hands over a care agency in Derby
At Helping Hands, we always keep the priorities of your care as our number one focus, and because we’re a private home care company rather than an agency we are committed to providing personalised care for every single customer. Our carers feel valued, which is crucial to them being so highly motivated to deliver the highest standards of care to our customers, every single day. Because we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you can be confident in our consistent quality, and because we keep our service transparent and easy to follow you’ll never get a nasty shock for your cost of care when your bill arrives.
Whether they’re training at our bespoke centre in Warwickshire or within one of our many branches across the country, all of our carers learn detailed skills in manual handling, mobility aids, first aid, dementia and safeguarding. As well as going through stringent background checks by our own Recruitment Team, they also complete regular refresher training to ensure that they adhere to the latest practices.
As with any regulated care company, we are closely monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who make sure our service is safe, responsive and effective with both our policies and staff. We are also aligned with Dementia Action Alliance (DAA), Spinal Injuries Association (SIA) and the United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum (UKABIF) – all of which work to promote awareness and best practice of their respective conditions.

Private care in Derby
Using a private home care provider gives you much more control over the level and frequency of care you receive. At Helping Hands, we’re able to offer you flexible, bespoke care that is fully designed to match the needs of your condition – no matter how straightforward or complex they might be.
Whether you require a few shorts visits a week or a live-in carer, temporary short-term assistance or a long-term care plan, our brilliant home care team in Derby will work with you to provide you with the perfect package of care to keep you independent and comfortable in your own home.
