Visiting care and home care in Leigh

With a rich industrial heritage that consisted of agriculture, domestic spinning, silk, and cotton, Leigh was also considered important in engineering and coal. Despite now being largely residential, the town still contains elements of its historic past, such as the Victorian terraced cottages and red brick mills - many of which are listed.

Already well-established in the Lancashire area, our visiting and live-in care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales.

Helping Hands have a rich history of our own, although not quite as far back as the 19th century! We were established in 1989 to meet the need for a high-quality home care service across England and Wales, and since then we have grown to encompass 155 local branches.

High quality home care in Leigh

If you asked them, most people would always prefer to remain in their own home for additional care and support rather than having to move into residential care. With Helping Hands, you get the best of both worlds – exceptional care from a UK-wide company delivered in the comfort and safety of your own home. Our carers are amazing and will do everything they can to ensure your daily routine runs as smoothly as possible, whether that’s your personal care, housework, medication, mobility, or so much more.

24/7 live in care support

Live-in care makes an incredible difference to your life. By having someone residing in your home, days follow your routine, and your life flows around how you like to live. Regardless of what time you want to get out of bed, eat your meals, visit your friends, or have your housekeeping carried out, you remain in control at all times. Live-in care doesn’t just mean reassurance for you though, your loved ones near and far will be comforted to know that you’re never alone at home.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Leigh

Care agencies aren’t particularly renowned for providing excellent standards of care and customer service – thank goodness Helping Hands isn’t a care agency then! We’ve been providing the highest quality home care since 1989, to people who want to remain at home while having the support they need to live their lives. Care agencies don’t employ their own carers or provide in-house assessment, so you may be at the mercy of an untrained, unchecked person coming into your home. Don’t take the chance, let Helping Hands’ expert care be there for you across Leigh.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Leigh

It’s not a coincidence that our carers are constantly getting amazing reviews, in fact you only have to check out some of the 4000 reviews we have on TrustPilot to see that our local care teams put their heart and soul into ensuring our customers live well. We work hard to promote your independence and ensure that you remain in control of your care routine, and because we provide our carers with compulsory training and upskilling that builds on their existing knowledge, we can be sure that our care remains consistent across the whole of England and Wales.

We firmly believe that there’s no better place than your own home for maintaining your independence and dignity.

If you require care urgently, we’ll aim to begin within 72 hours of your first enquiry.

Getting started is simple. After your initial call, we’ll arrange a free care assessment at your home with your local Bolton care manager. This is your chance to discuss your needs and preferences in detail. There’s absolutely no pressure on you to commit to anything at this meeting, but if you do decide to go ahead, we’ll create a tailored plan and carefully match you with carers who complement your routine.

Every Helping Hands carer in Bolton is directly recruited, fully vetted, professionally trained and employed by us. They’re insured and bonded, ensuring complete peace of mind and confidence in the care you receive.

If your usual carer is unavailable, we’ll arrange a suitable replacement to ensure there’s no gap in your support. We’ll aim to keep visit times consistent wherever possible, helping you maintain a steady and reassuring routine.
