Home care in Holsworthy
Visiting care and home care in Holsworthy
Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Haldeword and sitting on the border between Devon and neighbouring Cornwall, Holsworthy has a long history that has seen it pass into the hands of many different families over the centuries, before falling under the control of the local district council in 1932. The past sits neatly with the future in Holsworthy though, with the town being home to the only centralised anaerobic digestion facility in the UK, which will hopefully be able to provide low-cost heat to residents in due course.
Just as Helping Hands has a long history, we also have one eye on the future to ensure that our superb visiting and live-in care across Devon is always at the forefront of industry developments. And because all of our care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you and your loved ones will always be reassured by the high standards we adhere to.

Area Care Manager
My main roles and responsibilties as Area Care Manager are to oversee and improve the running of the branches within the South West. I am responsible for ensuring that our clients and carers are kept safe, and that the service we are providing is of high quality. I have always had a passion in caring for others. The term 'caring' for me has never been about rushing in and helping someone to get washed and dressed. For me it's about making a positive impact to someone else' s life; helping them achieve what they want, and enabling them to remain independent at home in the place that means the most to them. The care we provide at Helping Hands is of such high quality, and I truly believe that if my parents required care, Helping Hands would be the first I would contact. The carers always go over and above to ensure the clients are happy, and as an area care manager that's certainly one thing I can say I am proud of. It' s clear that all of us at Helping Hands live, sleep and breath the culture and we love what we do.

Other care we provide
High quality home care in Holsworthy
When you are living with a condition that means you find it harder to manage at home, or you’d just appreciate some companionship after the loss of a precious partner, support from Helping Hands can make all the difference to your daily routine. We can be with you from an hour or two a week, perhaps to accompany you grocery shopping, help you to hospital appointments, or just to have a cuppa and a chat, right up to supporting you day and night.
24/7 live in care support
Live-in care means you’ll never have to worry that you’re on your own at home, even if you need support around the clock. Because you’ll have someone living with you, your loved ones will also be fully reassured that your needs will always be attended to without delay. We understand that having someone living in your home is a big step, however we carefully match your carer to your personality and interests so that you’ll always have something in common and will quickly become friends.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Holsworthy
We’ve never been a care agency and never will be! We recognise the need that care agencies fill, however we offer a fully bespoke service that encompasses every aspect of your care and support needs. We recruit, assess, and employ our carers directly so that they have the reassurance of a full contract and every benefit that entails, whereas care agencies simply match you with someone and then leave you to manage your care yourself.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Holsworthy
Our carers are outstanding, which is what we demand of everyone who works for us. We look for personal qualities of compassion and kindness when we source our carers, not people who just see it as a job. We know our carers go above and beyond for their customers every single day, and because they are so dedicated, we look after them too, offering opportunities for development, qualifications, and progression routes whenever possible.
