Visiting care and home care in Gateshead
Gateshead is possibly most famous for its iconic sculpture the Angel of the North, which watches over passing motorists and the city alike. The population boomed when Britain was at its industrial peak, increasing by over 100,000 during the years 1801-1901. Our carers deliver our expert service on a daily basis, promoting our customers’ dignity and independence and keeping them safe and comfortable within the home they love, and because we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission, you can have full confidence in our excellent standards of care.
We understand rapid growth at Helping Hands, as for the past 30 years we have expanded from one local branch to well over 100 and with our exceptional visiting and home care services we really are the ones to trust with your care at home.

Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Gateshead team can help.
We've been caring for people for decades, helping them maintain their independence and continue to live well in the homes and communities they love.
Over 155 branches across the UK means we're local to you.
Regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, giving you peace of mind that we meet the highest standards of service and care.
Thousands of our customers have shared their experiences of care with us on customer review site Trustpilot with Helping Hands rated 4.7 out of 5.
We only employ those special people with the right levels of patience, empathy, and compassion to care for you as we'd want our own families to be cared for.
We know that good care means something different to each of us. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your family to understand your needs and preferences.
When finding care becomes a decision for the wider family, we can help you consider your options. We keep in touch once care is in place so we can adapt care as needs change.
