Home care in Ilford
Visiting care and home care in Ilford
Formerly part of Essex, Ilford in East London is a familiar name among photography buffs for the film company that shares the same name, however for those not so interested in the visual arts, Ilford has a long history too. The arrival of the railway in 1839 saw the location begin to expand and as the 19th century progressed it found itself part of Barking, then merging with Wanstead and Woodford in the 20th to form the London Borough of Redbridge. We’re no strangers to a long history at Helping Hands, having been established in 1989 to support people who wished to remain living in the home they love. Over the years we’ve supported many people across Greater London to continue living as independently as possible, and we are proud to do the same throughout England and Wales. Also, because our visiting and live-in care is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, we can offer consistently high standards that will remain unbeaten.
Quality care at home

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.
