Visiting care and home care in Sandwich

Sandwich has a long and varied history and was a port of major importance, one of the original ‘Cinque Ports’ on the south coast. The town has medieval buildings aplenty for those who love historical architecture, and while not as close to the sea as it once was (due to the disappearance of the Wantsum Channel) it is still only a couple of miles away. Undoubtedly most famous for giving its name to the foodstuff popularised by the 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, the town is a medieval delight with several ancient buildings remaining to this day.

While Helping Hands is not trying to claim a history as long as Sandwich’s, we have been established since 1989, delivering home care to people in Kent on both a visiting and live-in basis. Because all of our home care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, you and your loved ones can be reassured that you’ll always receive the very highest standards of care delivery.

Quality care at home

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

Rated Excellent on Trustpilot

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.

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 Sandwich

We’re proud to offer unbeatable care in our customers’ own homes, meaning that you don’t have to leave the place you love to receive the care you need. Our compassionate carers can come to you as frequently as you need, whether that’s once or twice a week to give family a break, several times a day, or even overnight. Our visiting carers can provide support with every aspect of your daily routine such as medication management, personal care, housekeeping, meal preparation, and helping you to get out and about in the local community.

24/7 live in care support

If you’d like to have a carer with you around the clock, then live-in care could be the perfect solution. Instead of worrying that you’ll have to leave the home you love and may have lived in for years, you can have a carer come to you and reside in your home 24/7. Live-in care is a perfect solution if you’re living with complex care needs and you need someone with you continuously, or if you’d appreciate companionship as well as practical support. We’ll work hard to match you with a carer who will suit you and have much in common wherever possible.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Sandwich

Helping Hands has never been a care agency and we’re proud of the fact, although it’s important to point out that some care agencies do fill an essential role. However, we are a private home care company and that does make a difference! For instance, being a private home care provider, we are fully regulated by the CQC and CIW, something that many agencies aren’t. We also employ all of our carers ourselves, whereas agencies leave carers to be self-employed or expect the customer themselves to manage their employment.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Sandwich

We take the development of our carers very seriously and encourage all employees to undertake further qualifications if they wish to do so. We design a bespoke programme of instruction for all of our carers, which is delivered via our own training academy, meaning that they’re prepared for all eventualities that caring for their customers can bring. We also have our own team of clinical nurses working for Helping Hands who manage our clinical packages and make sure that our training is up-to-date. We build on their existing experience to ensure they have the knowledge they need to support you.
