Ringwood was founded by the Anglo-Saxons and is located in Hampshire. It is famous for its weekly market and has been a popular event with the local residents since the Middle Ages, especially our customers.

Plus, we are monitored and regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales. So, you can rest assured knowing you’ll receive the very best care you truly deserve.

From restaurants and market stalls to independent shops and local beauty salons where you can pamper yourself, there is plenty to do. But that’s not all; our carers can help you get dressed in the morning, prepare nutritious meals, fold the laundry, change the bedding and much more. More importantly, they make the best companions.

    High quality home care in Ringwood

    At Helping Hands, we provide exceptional care so our customers can continue living independently in the comfort of their homes. Our expertly trained carers deliver care on a visiting and live-in basis. So, you can have support from as little as 30 minutes a week or longer, no matter what condition you are living with. Whether you are living with a condition that limits your mobility or a complex condition such as dementia, we will promise to be there for you whenever you need us.

    24/7 live in care support

    If you need support for more than a few hours a day, then live-in care can be an option. This is when one of our compassionate carers stays with you 24 hours a day in your home. So, no matter what time of the day, you will always have someone by your side. Plus, you don't have to relocate elsewhere, with live-in care you can remain in the place you love - home.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Ringwood

    We have always delivered care as a private home care provider, not as a care agency. So, there is no surprise that we are the UK’s most widely trusted home care provider. We ensure we employ our carers directly and they are fully trained by us. So they have the right skills to provide you with outstanding care, nothing less. We also believe in transparency, which is why we are always upfront with our costs and services.

    Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Ringwood

    Our carers are kind, compassionate and empathetic individuals who always prioritise your needs. They really do make a difference, and thanks to them, our customers can enjoy and live life as they wish.

    We ensure our carers have the skills to provide you with the care you need. They must complete our nurse-led training programme, which includes first-aid, mobility and safeguarding training.

    They all undergo a strict background check, including a Disclosure Barring Service check. We employ carers that we can trust. So you don’t have to worry about who is coming into your home.

    FAQs

    Home care in Ringwood 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 Ringwood 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 Ringwood.

    Home care in Ringwood 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.
