When to choose community care

Community care is for you if you love your everyday life in Essex and don’t want to slow down any time soon. Perhaps you need a hand nowadays to deal with everyday tasks due to a condition, disability or age. A Helping Hands carer can help you around the house and provide expert housekeeping, meal preparation and general upkeep of the home. They can run any errands for you and even take your beloved dog around the block for you. Whatever we can do to make your life a little easier so you can spend more time out and about at your favourite Essex social club.

Community care services tailored to you

Whatever you’re going through, we can help. If you are living with a disability and feel it is time to get extra support, our disability care can offer help for Down’s Syndrome, brain injuries, Motor Neurone Disease (MND), and more. Our carers can help form a daily routine that enables you to live a healthy and happy life, whether that’s light physio and exercise to help with your mobility or helping you challenge yourselves with puzzles every day. We’re also expertly trained in dementia care and how we can adapt your life to live well with the condition.

Qualified community carers in Essex

Our carers are all DBS-checked and come with a wealth of training and experiences, as well as passionate and friendly natures. We’re always hearing about how well our customers have taken to their carers and they are trained by registered nurses to provide nursing care. This can help with medication administration, catheter and stoma care, PEG feeding and much more. We offer live-in care in Essex for full-time support, visiting care for scheduled visits and respite care for short-term help.
