You may require friendly reminders to take your medication, or perhaps you need more intensive support in getting out to do your weekly shop; nonetheless, the team are here for you.

Traditionally known as care at home, domiciliary care enables you to maintain all your home comforts while still receiving the extra support you need. With assistance for everyday tasks including housework, meal preparation and medication administration, our carers can support you with regular home visits as little or as often as you like.

We know how important it is for anybody in need of a little extra support to maintain their independence as much as possible, which is why our carers will encourage you to live the life you love, with a little helping hand whenever you need it.

We’re proud to be one of the UK’s leading dementia care specialists. With 30 years’ experience under our belt, we understand the anxieties and uncertainties that can follow a dementia diagnosis, and that familiarity is key in keeping you or your loved one at ease. So, the team will ensure that if you or your loved one needs a friendly face to help them throughout each day, we’ll adhere to what you need to keep you happy and comfortable.

Each of our expert carers receive award-winning training, enabling them to deal with the many different types of dementia that are affecting 920,000 people in the UK. From memory loss, confusion and challenging behaviour to helping you and your family understand the symptoms of dementia, our specialised team will provide the support and guidance that you need in order to continue to enjoy quality time together.

As we get older, we can find it more difficult to complete our usual day-to-day tasks and our minds aren’t always as quick as they once were. For some, it may be that you need some extra support in getting in and out of bed, or perhaps you’d like someone to enjoy the town’s collection of sculptures with. Regardless of your requirements, the Harlow team will give you the support that you need.

Whether you’re recovering from an illness or injury or you’re preparing to be discharged from hospital and you’ve lost some of your confidence, our Harlow team offer bespoke respite care packages to ensure that you have the support that you need, for as long as you need it.

With as little as 24-hours’ notice, we can replicate the care that you may already receive with a seamless transition between carers, ensuring minimal disruption to your usual routine.

The Harlow team can also provide respite care packages for those wishing to attend events, days out or even holidays, but are needing just a little more support than usual. If you’d like to take a trip into the capital to see a West End show or spend a weekend down on the coast, our respite care packages ensure that you can continue to enjoy your life to the fullest with the reassurance that you are in safe hands.

As a family-run business, we understand how important it is that you receive the perfect level of care. Each of our carers complete award-winning training and are, most importantly, kind and compassionate by nature; so you can be sure that you will only receive the best level of care.

With their initial training covering areas such as manual handling, health & safety, safeguarding, equality & diversity, medication support and more, our carers also benefit from completing regular refresher training to ensure that their knowledge and expertise are always up-to-date and of the highest quality.

Each of our carers are all directly employed by Helping Hands, so we complete all the paperwork and necessary background checks for you. We are also the only homecare provider endorsed as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, and we are also fully licensed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
