Visiting care and home care in Pontefract
Once known as the Key to the North, Pontefract is now a thriving market town and home to the UK’s number one home care company, Helping Hands.
Caring for areas such as Featherstone, Darrington, Knottingley, Ackton, East Hardwick and the surrounding areas, the team are here to support the Pontefract community.
Our team of expert carers have gone through award-winning training and are available from as little as 30-minutes per week, through to several overnight stays. From elderly care through to palliative care, our comprehensive training programme ensures all of our Pontefract carers are experienced and confident to deal with all aspects of care, giving you peace of mind.
Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Pontefract 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.
