Visiting home care in Leeds to suit your schedule
We tailor every single one of our care packages to ensure that you are receiving exactly what you need.
If you are looking for a weekly visit, or three calls every day your carer will be able to support you.
A visiting care package is flexible. If your needs change over time-or unexpectedly-we can accommodate you and change your care calls to suit.
Visiting carers can support you with:
- Personal care – Maintain your dignity and privacy with discreet personal care, be it with washing, toileting or anything in between.
- Mobility needs – If you need support mobilising around the house or when out and about your carer can help you with this.
- Medication – We can support you with medication prompts, time specific medication or if you need them physically giving to you.
- Household jobs – Housework, walking the dog and laundry are all included as well as much more.
The care and service has been excellent. Mum has found all the carers to be kind and thoughtful as well as efficient and caring. I do not live near mum so this has been beneficial to us all.

Live-in care for your peace of mind
24-hour live-in care can provide you with a great alternative to residential care when you are looking for round the clock support.
Your live-in carer will be matched up to you based on personality, interests and their care experience to ensure we deliver the most compatible carer possible.
A live-in care package can be provided for as little as 3 days, through to an ongoing care plan to suit exactly what you are looking for.
Live in carers are able to support you with personal care, meal prep, medication, complex care and even end of life care.
You will receive a fully managed live-in care service, which means that your local manager will be on hand to support you every step of your care journey.

Domiciliary care in the Leeds area
Domiciliary care can be required at any stage of life, and is needed whenever someone requires extra support in order to remain living independently in their own home. This can include following an accident or illness.
Domiciliary care visits can be arranged to help with a range of daily tasks such as dressing, personal care, or help around the house. Having support with these tasks means that your loved one can continue living comfortably, and independently, where they are happiest – in their own home. You will have peace of mind knowing that someone is checking in on them, and is available to assist them with anything they might be struggling with.
If you or a loved one needs support with a condition, such as living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or life after a stroke, then a specially trained carer can provide this tailored support. You can be confident in the expert knowledge of our Leeds carers; all of them have been fully trained at our very own Centre of Excellence, and have a wide knowledge of complex condition-led care.
Dementia care in your own home
More and more people are expected to develop dementia in the years ahead. If you or someone you know is diagnosed, then it’s important to remember that you are not alone.
Advanced dementia care may not be needed straightaway, but as the condition progresses, you might need some extra support to ensure that you or your relative can continue living a comfortable and happy life.
The symptoms of dementia vary greatly from person to person and can change suddenly. This means that we aim to put care in place which is tailored to you, and we will continue to adapt it as and when your needs change.
Our Leeds team are fully committed to improving the quality of life of those living with dementia. We offer the highest standards of dementia care as a result of our Helping Hands Dementia Champion programme, which provides our carers with vigorous training and assessment.
Care for the elderly in Leeds
As you age, you might start to require a bit of extra help in order to remain living in your home, and with an independent lifestyle. Elderly care is designed to meet your needs and requirements as you grow older.
Elderly care usually becomes necessary if you or a loved one starts experiencing difficulties with activities of daily living. Our Leeds team have almost 30 years of experience supporting elderly people in the area and can offer help with a variety of daily tasks including:
- Household chores
- Cooking meals
- Personal care
- Administering medication.
Along with practical support, our carers will also be supportive companions and can help you get out and about in your local community. We will take the time to get to know you and your needs, so that we can develop completely personalised elderly care, suited to you.
Short-term respite care if you have to leave a relative
It is important that everyone takes some time out to relax and focus on themselves, especially if they’re caring for someone else. Though it is hugely rewarding, it can be mentally and physically draining.
Respite care gives you the opportunity to relax and recharge by enjoying time with friends and family, going away on holiday, or just spending some time alone, all while knowing that the person you’re caring for is being looked after by a trained carer.
Here in Leeds, we have local carers on hand to support you and your loved one whenever you need a break or in the event of an unforeseen emergency. Being regulated by the Care Quality Commission means that you can rest assured that our carers are all qualified to provide the high-quality support and care that you loved one deserves while you’re away.
Kat's story: recovering after a spinal injury
Kat is 54 years old and from Leeds. Unfortunately she was involved in a serious car collision, which caused a major spinal injury. To help her recovery, Kat received emergency nurse-led care from Lizzie, a Helping Hands live-in carer.
A compassionate and experienced carer, Lizzie has been trained to care for people with spinal injuries. Working under the supervision of our team of clinical nurses she was able to support Kat, which involved using hoists to help her safely move around the home.
“My carers are fantastic,” said Kat. “They allow me to carry out everyday activities and also to remain independent, which is incredibly important to me.”
Kat received intensive full-time care after her injury. Due to her hard work and the expertise of our nurses and Lizzie, her care is slowly being reduced as she recovers from her accident.

Every single carer that works for Helping Hands has been through our extensive training programme and have qualified from our Centre of Excellence.

I have worked with many customers who have dementia and I have had so many wonderful experiences with them.
