Meet Elizabeth, our Area Manager
"Hello. I am Elizabeth Coltman, the Area Manager for the North (Central). It's my responsibility to manage the branches in the North Central and ensure carers and customers are happy with our service across the region.
"I was a carer for many years before becoming branch manager and now an area manager. This enables me to have great knowledge of the sector not just my own role. Along with a degree in Occupational Therapy, I also have a Higher Level Diploma in Health Studies and a Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care, Leadership and Management.

Visiting home care in Leeds
Here at Helping Hands we offer individually tailored high quality home care in Leeds and the surrounding areas. Still family owned and run, we draw on over 29 years of experience, to ensure that the very best standards of support are delivered by our carers to each and every one of our customers.
Elizabeth and her team provide everything from companionship, housekeeping, through to providing more complex healthcare support for people with conditions such as MS, Spinal Injuries, Parkinson’s, Acquired Brain Injuries and those that have suffered a Stroke. Every member of the Helping Hands team is here to ensure we enable our customers to enjoy the quality of life they deserve in the comfort of their own home, irrespective of their personal or medical needs.
The team of dedicated carers across Leeds and the surrounding areas are chosen and trained at the branch, supported by expert guidance from a team of registered nurses and myself. We draw on our extensive knowledge of the area, having first launched Helping Hands in Warwickshire in 1989.
If you’re receiving direct payments for social care through social services, we are able to accept top-ups to these payments. Get in touch to find out 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 in Leeds
If you need a more intense level of home care in Leeds our carers are fully trained to provide you with it. Our live-in care services in Leeds mean that one of our carers can be there to help you around the clock. If you have a progressive medical condition or have been recently injured and need support around the home, one of our carers can give you the extra support you need. If your medical condition requires that you take medication in the middle of the night, one of our carers can be there to remind you to take it, and help to administer it.
You can be confident in the expert knowledge of our carers. All of our local Leeds carers have been fully trained at our very own Centre of Excellence, and have a wide knowledge of complex condition-led care. All Helping Hands carers are DBS checked and trained to help you or your loved one remain independent in their home, whilst giving you the level of live-in care that you require.
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.
Spinal injury aftercareFriendly, qualified carers in Leeds
Our Leeds carers are committed to providing you or your loved one with the very best possible care. To ensure that they can deliver your care to the highest standard, we are committed to providing them with a comprehensive programme of training and support.
Before beginning their work with us, all our carers take part in an intensive training programme at our Centre of Excellence. But the training does not stop there. Every Helping Hands carer takes part in on-going training to boost their knowledge and experience across a wide range of areas, from dementia care to complex care requirements.
Our carers are also committed to ensuring that you receive the best condition-led care available, and work with local GPs to understand how best to support you.
I have worked with many customers who have dementia and I have had so many wonderful experiences with them.
