Visiting care and home care in Merton
While the area of Merton encompasses lots of areas with significant histories and claims to fame, the local area also has the honour of being where much of the filming for ITV drama ‘The Bill’ took place, especially in Colliers Wood and Mitcham. There are also various styles of historic buildings to be seen in the area, enough to keep even the most obsessive architect happy.
Despite already having a well-established local branch in Wimbledon, at Helping Hands we felt we should get to know the wider Merton area better. This is because we feel there are still people in the local area who aren’t aware that they could remain living in the home they love to receive care, rather than move into residential care homes. And because our visiting and live-in care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you and your loved ones can always depend on our exceptional service delivery.

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.
