Home care in Purley
Visiting care and home care in Purley
“Purley” comes from the Anglo-Saxon word “pirlea”; ‘pir’ meaning pear tree, and ‘lea’, a clearing, so it was probably originally an area where pear trees grew. Now part of the London Borough of Croydon, it has much to recommend it, not least its location bordering the chalk hills of the South Downs, despite only being about 11 miles from Central London. In popular culture, popular 80s sitcom Terry and June was set in Purley.
Helping Hands have long been established in the Croydon area, and we’ve been delivering care across London and the rest of England and Wales since 1989. We offer exceptional visiting and live-in care and can provide a few hours at a time or around the clock. All of our care us fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, meaning that you and your loved ones can be confident in what we’ll deliver.

Meet the Purley 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.

Other care we provide
High quality home care in Purley
We deliver exceptional care in your own home that is always personalised to you. If you’re worried that you’ll have to leave your precious home because of increasing care needs you can contact Helping Hands and we’ll put your mind at rest. You’ll have a team of friendly carers who will always do their best to help you live as well as possible, while supporting your independence, whether you need us for a few days or several years.
24/7 live in care support
Live-in care is the best option if you’d prefer never to be on your own. By having someone living in your home with you, you get the best of both worlds; companionship whenever you want it and someone to support you with your essential everyday tasks. This could be personal care, mobility support, or housework, whatever you need we can help you with. By having around-the-clock support you’ll have the company you want while your home is still your own.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Purley
Care agencies attract negative press sometimes, which is why we’re proud not to be a care agency! We’ve been a private home care company since we were founded in 1989, and we like to reassure our customers that they’ll never have hidden charges or unexpected fees from us. Our fully managed care services mean that from your very first contact with us we’ll take care of everything, including employing your carer and managing your care package.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Purley
Our carers get so much good press and amazing reviews but that’s not surprising, as we only employ people who have natural caring qualities of empathy and kindness. They work so hard to make sure that our customers enjoy their days and live the way they want to, and we reward such loyalty by offering opportunities to progress and gain qualifications. We like to promote from within wherever possible and we’re proud that so many of our managers began as carers with us.
