Home care in Ramsgate

Helping Hands was founded in 1989 as a way to provide dedicated home care services to those in need of a little extra support at home. Thirty years later, we’re supporting thousands of people across England and Wales with personalised care packages that enable them to live each day entirely on their terms. We understand that everybody has their own individual needs – regardless of their requirements. That’s why our aim has always been to provide the level of support that is needed to ensure that each and every one of our customers feel safe, enabled and independent in the place they know best.

Whether you need visits that are little and often to help with practical things such as folding your laundry, getting in and out of bed or taking your canine companion out for a walk, or more complex support for clinical conditions such as stroke aftercare and acquired brain injuries, our friendly private carers will work with you to build a personalised care plan that focuses entirely around you and your needs, routines and preferences.

If you are in need of more intensive support, live-in care in Ramsgate could be the perfect solution that provides round-the-clock care without the upheaval of moving into a residential or nursing home. With live-in care, one of our friendly carers will live with you in your home to make sure that you have everything you need whenever you need it – whether that’s with reassurance in the night if you feel disorientated or if you need someone to accompany you around the house and out into the Ramsgate community.
