Visiting care and home care in Rushden
Rushden has prospered over the centuries thanks to lace making and farming but especially because of shoemaking and associated trades. In the mid-20th century, there were over 100 boot and shoe factories in Rushden but even though there are only four left today, the tradition lives on.
We are very proud of tradition and heritage in Helping Hands too, as we’ve had over 30 years of success in the home care industry and we continue to see unprecedented growth. Our visiting and live-in care services can provide whatever care you need from just 30 minutes a week, including medication support and personal care, so whatever your care needs, we can support you.

Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Rushden 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.
