High quality home care in Launceston

While there still remain people who don’t realise that you can receive care in the comfort of your own home, we are on a mission to ensure people across the UK understand that they don’t have to leave the home they love when they need additional support. Our visiting care for instance can be delivered from just an hour or two at a time, right up to throughout the day and night, meaning that despite the complexity of your condition, we can design a package of care that takes all of your daily routine and requirements into account.

24/7 live in care support

If you’re anxious about being home alone, especially if you have lost a precious partner or your family live far away, you may find that live-in care is the answer to your needs. However we can help you, from housework and companionship, to personal care and medication management, we will design a package of care for you that takes into account every aspect of your daily routine. Live-in care gives you and your loved ones an additional level of reassurance that you’re safe and secure at home, and your carefully chosen live-in carer will quickly become a special friend.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Launceston

We’ve never been a care agency at Helping Hands, despite people confusing what it is that agencies and companies do differently. We’re a private home care company, just as we were when we were first established, and we’re proud of the fact that we manage our customers’ entire care experience, from the first call you make to us. We don’t just manage our customers’ experience though, we also directly recruit, employ, and train all of our carers in-house, which gives us a competitive edge over other care companies and especially care agencies.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Launceston

We’re very particular about the people who join us at Helping Hands, as we only want people working for us who are naturally compassionate and empathetic. We recruit and screen our applications thoroughly and assess them closely to be sure that they share our ethos for promoting our customers’ independence and keeping them at the centre of their care journey. Our values have never changed since we began in 1989, and we look after our carers so that they’ll look after you. We encourage them to pursue a career if they want to, and we’re proud that many of our managers began as carers with us.
