Home care in Diss
Visiting care and home care in Diss
The name Diss is thought to come from the Anglo-Saxon word for embankment or ditch and was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as part of Suffolk. At that time it was just 24 acres and was in the King’s possession. Diss has a long and interesting history, with many historical buildings including the Corn Hall that dates from the 1850s and an early 14th century church, but nowadays is of course part of Norfolk.
Whether you’ve lived in Diss all your life or you’re a relative newcomer, Helping Hands are available in the area to supply you with exemplary care and support in the comfort of your own home.

Branch Care Manager
I've been with Helping Hands for 4.5 years, starting my journey in homecare here. I’m proud to work for a company that helps individuals stay safe and independent. I’m passionate about respecting people’s wishes and maintaining their independence. My Grandad taught me kindness through our Saturday church visits. I also enjoy embroidering and upholstering furniture in my free time.

Other care we provide
High quality home care in Diss
Our home care is exceptional because of the people who deliver it, caring individuals who believe that everyone has the right to continue living in their own home. There’s no reason why you should consider moving out of the home you love just because you’re struggling with everyday tasks, as that’s what Helping Hands is here for. We’ll deliver exactly the amount of support you need, from just an hour or so a week, so that you continue living independently.
24/7 live in care support
Live-in care is incredible peace of mind for you and your loved ones that will make you glad you’ve got someone in your home with you around the clock. If you are unhappy living alone or you feel that you can’t manage anymore, having someone living with you will mean you have company when you want it and all the essential household tasks taken care of. This could be your housework, meals, or medication, or just having someone there to help you enjoy your local community.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Diss
Helping Hands has never been a care agency – we were established in 1989 as a private home care company dedicated to keeping our customers as independent as they want to be. We specialise in care at home, not care homes, meaning that we keep people where they want to be for as long as possible. Care agencies will often have hidden fees and other ‘extras’ that you’re not expecting when your bill arrives, but with Helping Hands you’ll always have personalised care with transparent costs, meaning no nasty surprises.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Diss
We’d be nothing without our amazing carers, the most empathetic, kind people you’ll come across in care. We’re careful only to choose people with natural caring qualities to work for us though, as we feel you deserve nothing but the best people looking after you in your home. We select, assess, and train people in-house as we don’t want to leave such important tasks to people outside of our organisation. This means that we know exactly what we’re looking for in the people who apply to us, and we’re able to ensure an exceptional consistency of care and support.
