Visiting care and home care in North London

North London is famous for many things, including White Hart Lane, the largest football stadium in London. With a capacity of 62,850, it brings £344m a year to the local economy.
North London is also where many of our friendly carers support the local residents to live as independently as possible, in the comfort of their own homes. We deliver visiting care from as litle as 30 minutes per week and live-in care that can support you around the clock.
Our home care packages are personalised to your needs so you can continue to live life the way you wish. All of our services are also monitored and regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in North London

Since our foundation in 1989, we have been providing care as a private home care provider. This is so we can look after our carers and customers the way we want. We employ our carers directly so we can ensure we recruit compassionate and empathetic individuals to look after you. We also believe in continuity of care, which means you will see the same familiar faces, unlike a care agency. Furthermore, you won’t be faced with unexpected costs or referral fees.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in North London

All our carers are fully trained before they set foot on your doorstep. So, you can be confident knowing they will be equipped with the right skills to provide you with high-quality care. They also continue to develop their skills by completing refresher courses, and qualifications if they wish to progress. We undertake strict background checks, including thoroughly following up references and screening through the DBS, so you'll have peace of mind about who's coming into your home.

FAQs

Home care in North London is professional support provided in your own home, helping you or a loved one stay safe, comfortable and independent without needing to move into residential care. It can be arranged as regular visiting care, occasional support, respite care, or full-time live-in care, depending on your needs.

With Helping Hands, care is built around your routine, so support can include anything from help getting up in the morning to companionship, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support and personal care.

Home care can include a wide range of practical, personal and emotional support. This may include help with washing, dressing, toileting, medication prompts, preparing meals, light housework, shopping, attending appointments, mobility support and companionship.

Care can be flexible, from short visits during the week to several visits a day or live-in care. The right level of support will depend on your needs, routines and preferences.

A carer can help with everyday tasks that have become difficult to manage alone. This might include getting in and out of bed, washing and dressing, preparing meals, moving safely around the home, taking medication, keeping the house tidy, going shopping, attending appointments or simply having someone there for companionship.

The aim is to provide the right amount of support while helping you maintain independence, dignity and confidence at home.

The cost of home care in North London depends on the type and amount of support you need. Helping Hands’ visiting care prices currently start from £32.40 per hour, with visits available from 30 minutes, and live-in care currently starts from £1,675 per week for one person. A call-out or travel charge may also apply.

Because everyone’s needs are different, the best way to get an accurate price is to arrange a care assessment. This helps create a tailored care plan and a clear breakdown of costs before care begins.

Home care can be cheaper than a care home, especially if you only need support for part of the day or a few times a week. Age UK says privately arranged home care can cost around £25 per hour, while residential care averages around £949 per week and nursing home care around £1,267 per week, although costs vary by area and needs.

For people who need round-the-clock support, live-in care may be closer in cost to residential care, but it allows you to remain in your own home, keep familiar routines and receive one-to-one support.

Yes. Helping Hands states that its service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, or CQC, in England and the Care Inspectorate Wales, or CIW, in Wales. These regulators monitor care providers to make sure they meet required standards for safety, quality and care delivery.

Individual branch ratings can vary, so it is always worth checking the relevant local branch profile when arranging care in North London.

Home care in North London can often be arranged quickly, depending on your needs, location and carer availability. In many cases, care can begin within a few days, and urgent support may be possible sooner following an assessment.

The first step is usually a conversation about your situation, followed by a care assessment and a personalised care plan. This helps make sure the right support is in place from the start.
