Home care in Mitcham
Visiting care and home care in Mitcham
Mitcham is an Old English name that means “big settlement” as there was a Celtic stronghold with a hill fort in the area before the Romans and Saxons arrived. Mitcham is also known for its lavender and abundance of lavender fields, which was utilised to produce luxury and botanical goods for many years.

Meet the Mitcham care team
Branch Care Manager
My main role is to provide our increasing number of customers with the best possible care, and manage a happy team of carers. I've worked with vulnerable people for many years and still find it the most rewarding role. I love being part of making other people's life easier and better - whatever it takes in this line of work. I appreciate people need our help at their most difficult times and I want to justify their trust. We aim to achieve the highest standard in our industry. While it might be easier to say than do, Helping Hands do have a strategy and structure to work towards this goal. Our carers not only understand this dedication but also demonstrate it in practice every time they help their customers. I am a bit of an information junkie, from the serious and boring stuff (like rules, regulations, science) to the downright silly (celebrities and horror movies). Apart from reading, I also love travelling and hiking. Animals and plants are my other passion. I am seriously thinking of breeding Shiba dogs once I've retired.

Better than a care agency in Mitcham
-
We’re better than a home care agency at Helping Hands because we don’t need to do the things that agencies traditionally do to get customers, such as charging hidden fees or making carers self-employed. Our fully managed service sells itself, thanks to our dedicated carers delivering amazing results every day and our excellent operational support staff.

Respite care for immediate support
-
If you’re in need of short-term support, then respite care from Helping Hands is a valuable alternative to going into a residential home. When your regular carer needs to take a break, your family are going away or you’re recovering from an illness or accident, having care at home will ensure your wishes and preferences are respected, thanks to your personalised support plan and programme of care. Even in an emergency situation we can get care to you within 24 hours.
-
Elderly care for extra support
-
When you’re living with age-related frailties, you’re recovering from an illness or you just don’t have the strength you once did, it can make managing at home a lot more difficult than it used to. This is where elderly care from Helping Hands can make all the difference to your life. Our carers can come to your home and undertake all the tasks that you’re now finding difficult, such as housework, laundry, bed-making, personal care, meal preparation and medication.
