Home care in Kendal
Visiting care and home care in Kendal
Kendal may perhaps be most famous for a type of confectionery, but there’s much more to this Cumbrian town than that. Appearing in the Domesday Book as part of Yorkshire with the name Cherchebi, cloth making was the primary occupation in Kendal for many years and even influenced the town’s motto ‘Pannus mihi panis’ (wool is my bread).
With visiting care in the Kendal area starting at just 30 minutes per week with Helping Hands, you can be sure that however you need help at home we can oblige. Perhaps you’d prefer live-in care and around the clock companionship as well? No matter the support you need, we can be there as often or as infrequently as you need us.

Regional Care Director
As the Regional Care Director for the north, I am responsible for all types of care delivery to our customers - whether it be live-in care or our hourly service. My role involves ensuring that our carers deliver a consistent and seamless high quality of care to our customers. I manage a team of dedicated, hardworking people who strive to deliver a fantastic service. Following a highly successful career in welfare to work, recruitment and training, I wanted to look at a fresh challenge, and following some research and numerous conversations, I believed that the care sector would be a good fit and that I could easily transfer my skills and experience into this role.

Better than a care agency in Kendal
-
Because Helping Hands is not a home care agency, you’ll never have hidden costs or referral fees sprung on you, as we consider matching you with your perfect carer to be all part of the service. We directly employ all of our carers, ensuring that they feel valued and highly motivated to give our customers the best care possible in their own homes. Consequently, our fully regulated and managed home care services ensure that the priorities of your care are always the number one focus of everyone who works for us.
-
Emergency care in Kendal
-
When you or someone you love needs emergency care, it can be a very stressful time trying to research companies and read reviews to ensure they’re the right fit. With Helping Hands though you can be instantly reassured that we have the knowledge and expertise to support you, thanks to our more than 30 years in the industry, supporting our customers through many types of illnesses and conditions. Whether you’re being unexpectedly discharged from hospital or your regular carer leaves without notice, we can have a carer with you in less than 24 hours.
-
Private care in Kendal
-
Helping Hands have been a private homecare company since our inception in 1989, so you can be sure that when we say we’re the homecare experts we have the knowledge, expertise and satisfied customers to back up our claims. Having private care means you’ll always call the shots when it cones to your care, whether that’s deciding what you eat, when you get up, or how often you need support. Thanks to our bespoke packages of care that will always keep you at the centre of your care journey, you’ll never have to compromise on how you want things done.
-
Overnight care
-
It can be difficult to sleep when you’re living with certain conditions, and just because everyone around you is happily snoring away, doesn’t mean you won’t need extra support in the hours of darkness. We can offer you bespoke overnight care on either a visiting or live-in basis, so that the care you receive will be perfect for your day-to-day routine. Perhaps you need medication administering around the clock, support with your mobility or regular turning in bed, but whatever the circumstances, we can help.

Fully-trained carers in Kendal
-
We trust our amazing carers to look after our customers expertly, because we ensure they have all the tools they’ll need to do so, such as excellent training when they join us and opportunities to develop throughout their career. We also want our customers to feel looked after by the company as a whole, and we achieve this by screening all carers through the Disclosure and Barring Service, meaning that only people who should be entering your home are doing so. Additionally, we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, which demonstrates our commitment to providing the highest standards of homecare possible at all times.
