Visiting care and home care in Lewes
Famous for being the largest November the fifth celebration in the world, Lewes Bonfire Night draws crowds of 80,000 spectators each year and has up to 5,000 participants. At the other end of the historic spectrum is the annual Pea throwing championship, so there really is something for everyone in this hilly, but pretty Sussex town. Adding to the attractions, Helping Hands counts Lewes amongst its most recent locations, but despite being relative newcomers to the area, we have been supporting people to live comfortably and independently throughout Sussex and beyond for over 30 years.
We offer two different types of personal care to our customers, visiting care and live-in care. Both characterised by their descriptive names, visiting is where one of our compassionate carers will come to your home at prearranged times and carry out your entire care needs, before moving on to support another customer in the area. Live-in care, as it suggests, is where our carer will actually reside in your home with you, providing extra reassurance for both you and your loved ones.

Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Lewes 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.
