Regional Care Director
As the Regional Care Director, it is my role to lead a hugely skilled care team operating in London, Essex and the South East, ensuring the highest levels of care are being delivered to our customers on a daily basis. We have a large branch network equipped to deal with all your hourly care needs, and I am also the Registered Manager with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for our live-in program, where we are set up to support you on a more permanent basis. I am inspired on a daily basis by the true lengths my colleagues go to, to ensure that customers can continue to live long, healthy lives from the comfort of their own homes. This is one of the main reasons that inspired me to join care.

Other care we provide
Home care in Hammersmith from Helping Hands
For care that’s centred around you and that works with your existing routines and timetable, home care in Hammersmith is designed to fit in with your life and preferences and allows you to stay within the comfort of your own home. Helping you with everything from personal care, taking medication and your mobility, to a spot of cleaning, cooking and general companionship – we cover all aspects of both practical and emotional support so that you feel safe and content in familiar surroundings.
With flexible options that can be altered to fit in with your changing needs, we can add extra support in at any time, particularly if you have a spell in hospital or you’re struggling to keep up with the housework. We’ll also make sure that we keep to a pool of the same carers, so that you can get to know them and feel comfortable with them – especially if you are receiving support with personal care.
Live in care for 24/7 support
If you have a more advanced condition or require 24-hour support, live-in care in Hammersmith is a great way to receive the highest quality of one-to-one care without having the upheaval of leaving your home.
To ensure that you are matched with a carer that you can fully trust and get along with, we’ll work alongside you to find someone that shares similar interests with you, as well as having experience in your particular care needs. We’ll also make sure that we create a detailed support plan that outlines all of your preferences, wishes and things that you need assistance with, so that both your care and emotional needs are taken into account.
After all, care is so much more than the practicalities; it’s about supporting you emotionally too. So, if you are worried about your canine companion not getting its daily walk or you want to go and watch your favourite comedian at the Hammersmith Apollo, your carer can help out with these things too, as well as the practical elements of your care.
Individually tailored dementia care
When there’s a dementia diagnosis in your family, it can be difficult for all of you in different ways. Your loved one may be confused about what’s happening and you may be struggling with getting to grips with the changes that will happen in the next few months and years. As dementia experts, we can help with providing specialist dementia care to your loved one and supporting you and your family too.
We’ll make sure that all of their routines are left untouched so that they can relax at home, whilst also providing tailored care to their specific needs – whether that’s just popping in to check on them or intensive support with personal care and getting in and out of bed.
Why Helping Hands are better than a care agency in Hammersmith
As well as ensuring that all of our carers are empathetic and compassionate, we insist that they all complete a thorough training programme that gives them the skills and knowledge they need to provide only the very best home care. Training modules include moving and handling, personal care, dementia, first aid and safeguarding, and all of our carers are required to complete regular refresher courses to ensure that they’re delivering the latest and safest care practices.
We are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which means that the care we deliver is fully regulated by the care industry’s governing body. In addition to this, we are closely aligned by the Dementia Action Alliance, who work with us to ensure we are providing the most up-to-date care for those living with dementia.
