Visiting care and home care in Harlow
Originally built after the Second World War to accommodate overcrowded Londoners, Harlow is now a cultural hub nestled just outside the capital. Home to a collection of sculptures, scenic patchworks of rich farmland and a sanctuary for 90 horses, ponies and donkeys, Harlow is also home to one of the UK’s leading homecare providers – Helping Hands.
From as little as 30 minutes per week, all the way to full-time live-in care in Harlow, our branch are on hand to provide all levels of care as little or often as you need.

Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Harlow 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.
