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.

Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Leigh team can help.
We've been caring for people for decades, helping them maintain their independence and continue to live well in the homes and communities they love.
Over 155 branches across the UK means we're local to you.
Regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, giving you peace of mind that we meet the highest standards of service and care.
Thousands of our customers have shared their experiences of care with us on customer review site Trustpilot with Helping Hands rated 4.7 out of 5.
We only employ those special people with the right levels of patience, empathy, and compassion to care for you as we'd want our own families to be cared for.
We know that good care means something different to each of us. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your family to understand your needs and preferences.
When finding care becomes a decision for the wider family, we can help you consider your options. We keep in touch once care is in place so we can adapt care as needs change.
