Home care in Saffron Walden
Visiting care and home care in Saffron Walden
Saffron Walden is named after – you guessed it – saffron! Famous for growing the flower in the 16th and 17th centuries for medicines and perfumes, Saffron Walden boasts an exciting history! It has an architectural gem in the Audley End House, an impressive Jacobean house where Elizabeth I once stayed. Saffron Walden is a beautiful little town nestled in Essex with a lot to offer. While this includes an Enchanted Fairy and Elf Walk for the kids (and adults, let’s be honest), did you know that Saffron Walden also boasts some of the best health care at home around?
Helping Hands is here to help in your town, and we offer live-in, visiting and respite care (personalised, of course). Regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), we’re always on top.

Meet the Saffron Walden care team
Area Care Manager
Hi, I am Christien Ingrosso and I'm the Area Care Manager for the South East region. As an area care manager, it is my role to lead a team of dedicated care experts in and around the London, Essex and South East region to ensure that the service and care we are delivering is to the highest possible standard for all our customers. I am married and a father of two girls. I enjoy very much spending time with my family and going on walks with my dog, or as some may say he likes to walk me! I have been fortunate enough to meet some fantastic employees throughout my time at Helping Hands. Each day I witness first-hand the determination and drive that each and all of our carers show to help our customers maintain healthy and independent lives in the familiar surroundings of their own homes.

Other care we provide
High-quality home care in Saffron Walden
With over 35 years of experience, we’ve had plenty of time to learn and improve. That’s why we’re convinced we’re the highest quality home care around in Saffron Walden. We offer a variety of condition-led care such as cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s, and much more. We personalise our care packages to fit your specific situation. For instance, if you’re looking for elderly care, we can create a daily routine to keep you fighting fit, help prevent falls and trips, and keep an eye out for any decline. We can then adapt your care to respond to your changing needs and make sure we’ve always got a grasp on how best to support you.
24/7 live-in care support
We offer around-the-clock live-in care to fully support your needs. That might be helping around the house if your chores have piled up on you lately. Or it could be looking after your pets and stretching their legs if your mobility doesn’t allow you to do so yourself. We can help with discreet care like bathing, dressing and continence care, and help create a daily routine to maintain a healthy and happy life. On top of this, our carers are handpicked for their friendly natures and make great companions. So, fingers crossed you can be showing off Walden Castle with your new trusted friend soon.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Saffron Walden
We’re better than other care agencies for one reason – our carers. While they’re exceptionally skilled at general day-to-day support, they’re also fully trained in handling conditions, disabilities, and age-related frailties. Moreover, our nurse-led care is a bespoke support service if your needs are more medically complex. NHS-trained nurses train our carers to be able to help with ventilation care, nephrostomy care, PEG feeding, and medication administration. We take you and your health care seriously, and that’s why we’ve done all we can to be the crème de la crème of care in and around Saffron Walden.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Saffron Walden
DBS checked; our carers are fully vetted to make sure they are the best for the job. They are fully qualified, experienced, and trained to be able to handle varied situations. They put 110% into everything they do, and we’re incredibly proud of how much of a difference our carers make to the lives of our customers. We endeavour to handpick our carers to match your personality and interests, so they can be a friendly face within your home.
