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 provided in your own home
Home care from our Ilford team offers security, mobility, and companionship.

Meet the Ilford care team
Area Care Manager
Hi, I am Christien Ingrosso and I'm the Area Care Manager for the South East region. As an area care manager, it is my role to lead a team of dedicated care experts in and around the London, Essex and South East region to ensure that the service and care we are delivering is to the highest possible standard for all our customers. I am married and a father of two girls. I enjoy very much spending time with my family and going on walks with my dog, or as some may say he likes to walk me! I have been fortunate enough to meet some fantastic employees throughout my time at Helping Hands. Each day I witness first-hand the determination and drive that each and all of our carers show to help our customers maintain healthy and independent lives in the familiar surroundings of their own homes.

Other care we provide
High quality home care in Ilford
Our high-quality home care is second to none amongst care providers because we focus entirely on our customers’ wellbeing and keep them at the centre of their own care journeys. We’ve been delivering care in people’s own homes since we were established four decades ago meaning that we really are the UK’s home care experts, a title we’ve worked hard to earn. Our visiting care is available on a temporary or permanent basis, short-term or long, for a few hours a week or as often as you need us.
24/7 live in care support
Live-in care from Helping Hands is special because you get a dedicated carer matched to your interests and personality moving into your own home with you. This means you have someone on hand all the time to ensure you’ll always have your daily routine carried out and company when you want it. Live-in carers can support you with everything that makes your routine flow smoothly, such as housework, personal care, medication, and meal preparation, or if you just want a cup of tea and a natter.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Ilford
Helping Hands has never been a care agency and we never will be. Instead, we’re a private home care company who are proud of our heritage and work hard to keep our standards high. The main difference between agencies and Helping Hands is that we manage your care package from the moment you first get in touch and employ your carer directly, which means they get properly treated and remain motivated to do a good job for you every day.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Ilford
Our carers are amazing people, and we source them specially because we recognise natural qualities of compassion and kindness when we see them. We aren’t only interested in experience – although we value it when it’s there – because some of the very best carers are people who’ve never done it professionally before. We want the best people across Ilford to be delivering our care and we make sure that they have opportunities for development whenever they want it, as well as continuing the high standards of learning they received when they first joined us.
