Visiting care and home care in Lewisham
A small village until the arrival of the passenger train, Lewisham has an interesting history that mixes the old and the new, with urban high-rises and Victorian homes adding to the mix of family and community. The earliest recorded mention of Lewisham is in a charter from 862 where it was referred to as Liofshema.
While our history is not as lengthy as that of Lewisham, we still have four decades of experience caring for people in their own homes, promoting their independence at all times. Our ethos hasn’t changed in all those years, even though we now cover the whole of England and Wales with our visiting and live-in care services that are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales.

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