High quality care in Hertfordshire from Helping Hands
At Helping Hands, we prioritise person-centred care above anything else. We feel that to put the person being cared for front and centre of their care experience is crucial to letting them enjoy the best quality of life possible. We’re immensely proud of our live-in care service, considering it to be the most satisfactory way for someone who has complex care needs, or someone who wants around the clock companionship, to remain living in the home they love. Why move into a care home when a higher standard of care can come to you at home?

When to choose live in care
If life is becoming a struggle and you need some help to complete your daily routine, then our amazing live-in carers can be there to make all the difference. Perhaps you’ve recently lost a beloved partner and you’re missing having someone in the house to chat to? Live-in care means that you’ll never be at risk of loneliness or social isolation, thanks to someone being in your home 24/7. Don’t think this means they’ll overstep boundaries and compromise your privacy though; they’ll understand when you’d rather have some time alone or some privacy with family or friends.

Expert care tailored to your needs
We’re industry-leaders at Helping Hands, with more than four decades of experience and exceptional care delivery to our name. We began as a small family business which has now grown to cover the whole of England and Wales, but we haven’t lost sight of those family values in the intervening years. We still work to the same ethos today – that of delivering nothing but the highest quality care in our customers’ homes – and because we design your package of live-in care around you it’ll incorporate ever aspect of your routine down to the smallest detail. It’ll also be flexible enough to change seamlessly if your needs do.

Qualified carers providing live in care in Hertfordshire
Our live-in carers are amazing; but you don’t have to take our word for it. The many wonderful Trustpilot reviews we get will show you a trustworthy and unbiased take on our care services, showing what a difference our carers make on a daily basis. We consider our carers to be the real heart of Helping Hands, delivering much-needed support 365 days of the year to people who value the personal touch. By remaining in your own home and having a carer living in you’ll still be able to enjoy all the things you did before, but you’ll have a constant companion and someone to champion your cause every day. We choose our carers carefully, only employing people who have natural compassion in their hearts. This is because we can train them on all the practical skills they’ll need, but we can’t train them to care about other people.
You can chat to us online or over the phone, seven days a week, to have all your questions about live-in care answered. Or, if you prefer, you can chat to your local care team, or request a call back for a better time.

FAQs
Live-in care means a trained Helping Hands carer lives in your own Hertfordshire home and supports you around the clock with daily tasks, personal care, medication and companionship. It is a one-to-one alternative to a care home that lets you stay in familiar surroundings.
It suits people in Hertfordshire who need regular or 24-hour support but want to stay at home, including older people, couples who want to stay together, and people living with dementia, limited mobility or a long-term condition.
Your carer supports personal care, washing and dressing, medication, meal preparation, mobility, housekeeping, getting out and about, and companionship. Care is built around your routine rather than a fixed shift pattern.
Live-in care is charged weekly and depends on the level of support you need. Hertfordshire live-in care starts from £1,675 per week for one person, or £2,125 per week for a couple. We give a clear written quote after a free care assessment, with no hidden fees.
For one person it is often comparable, and for couples it is frequently better value because two people are supported for close to the cost of one. We will talk you through the figures for your situation in Hertfordshire.
Yes. Our Hertfordshire live-in care is regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and every carer is trained, vetted and DBS-checked before they start.
Once we have completed your free assessment we can usually arrange care quickly, including urgent and emergency situations. Call our Hertfordshire team to talk through timings.
