Visiting care and home care in Retford

Retford is one of the oldest market towns in England, having been first granted its charter in 1105. Sitting on the River Idle, an ancient ford crossing the river giving the town its name, Chesterfield Canal also passes through the centre of the town.

Even though at Helping Hands we can’t claim such an impressive pedigree, we have been in operation since 1989, making us one of the UK’s longest established and most trustworthy home care companies. Our impressive record for delivering only superb, compassionate care, fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, means we should be considered the first choice for care at home in Nottinghamshire.

Retford has an impressive heritage, with tools from the Mesolithic period being found in the area, as well as items from the Neolithic and Bronze Age.

Quality care at home

From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Retford 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.

Branches nationwide

Over 155 branches across the UK means we're local to you.

Fully regulated

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.

Handpicked carers

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.

Care that's tailored to you

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.

Supporting families

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.

High quality home care in Retford

Our home care is always designed to your needs, while remaining flexible enough to change if your situation does. Whether you’d like an occasional visit for companionship, regular help to escort you to appointments, or you have highly complex needs, we can support your daily routine to proceed as you wish. We offer one-to-one support that you’d never get in a care home environment, helping you to stay in the environment you love even if your needs increase.

24/7 live in care support

Our personalised live-in care and support means there is always someone in your home with you and you’ll never be alone. This doesn’t mean your carer won’t respect your boundaries though or give you privacy when you want it, for instance when your friends or family come to visit, or you just want some peace and quiet. Your carer will quickly become a trusted friend who’ll support you to maintain your routine and enjoy your favourite hobbies, while helping you to enjoy your surroundings every day.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Retford

There are big differences between a care agency and a private home care company and we’re proud that we’ve never been a care agency in all our decades of existence. Care agencies act as an intermediary – charging a fee to source you a carer and then having little to do with the ongoing process. At Helping Hands though, we manage every aspect of your care journey, from the first moment you contact us and for as long as you need us, including recruiting, employing, and training our exceptional carers.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Retford

If you’d like to remain living in the home that’s always meant the world to you and your family, then we can support you as often as you need us. Our visiting carers can provide you occasional or regular appointments at home that ensure you get the support you need on a daily basis, while live-in carers will live in your home around the clock and make sure you’re never at risk of loneliness or isolation. We train our carers and regularly refresh their skills to ensure they have all the knowledge they need to fully support you, while offering qualifications and career development to suit the individual.
