Visiting care and home care in Lewes

Helping Hands have established ourselves in Lewes, offering visiting care and live-in care to our customers. We have been supporting people to live comfortably and independently since 1989 providing extra reassurance for our customers and their loved ones.

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.

Handpicked carers

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.

Care that's tailored to you

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.

Supporting families

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.

Home care in Lewes

Home care from Helping Hands can be as often or infrequent as your needs dictate, and with visits starting from just 30 minutes a week, you can be sure we can support you regardless of your condition. Our carers are compassionate and professional and will be able to support you with housework, laundry, personal care, meal preparation, mobility support, medication administration and much more.

Better than a care agency in Lewes

Traditional home care agencies often require their carers to be self-employed and demand introductory fees from their customers to match you with the carer in question. Helping Hands is not an agency and therefore all our carers are directly employed by us, meaning neither of you have to worry about employment legalities or ‘finder’s fees’. We take care of everything, meaning that your carer can just focus on the important thing: taking care of you.

Live-in care in Lewes to support you

Live-in care in Lewes means you still get the high standards of care that you’d receive from our visiting service, yet your carer lives in your home with you. This provides around the clock companionship as well as care and ensures that you are never alone in your home. They will be discreet and never get under your feet, getting on with tasks throughout the day, giving you plenty of time for solitude or keeping you company as much as you wish.

Private care Lewes

Helping Hands are a private care provider, which means that – unlike care agencies – we employ our carers directly and won’t expect our customers to handle mountains of stressful, time-consuming paperwork. We think this is an important policy, because it gives our carers more time and energy to devote to providing you with the best possible care, as well as making your care journey much more straightforward. From your first contact with our wonderful care team in Lewes, we’ll put you at the centre of your care experience.

Dementia care in Lewes

When living with dementia it can be important to discuss future support needs early. This is because when you eventually do need care, you may have less ability to actively discuss how you would like to be looked after. Dementia care from Helping Hands means that you will be cared for by a company considered dementia specialists in the industry. This is because we’ve been caring for people living with dementia since we were established in 1989.

Elderly care in Lewes

As we age, we often slow down, and tasks that we used to complete with ease become more difficult. Elderly care means that one of our carers will help you with the necessities of running your home or helping you to attend appointments or activities in the community. We can be there for everything that will help to make your day-to-day life that bit easier. Whether housework or personal care, our carers can support you in any way you need.

Fully-trained carers in Lewes

Our carers are at the very heart of our business and we’re sure you’ll agree once you get to know them. Our in-house training programme and regular refresher courses ensures confident, motivated carers who feel valued in their work. This leads to satisfied customers who look forward to seeing their carer’s smiling face every morning. We support the professional development of our carers by offering qualifications and opportunities to progress, and we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission which demonstrates our demand for excellence every time.
