High quality home care in Scarborough

From your very first phone call to our friendly customer support team, we’ll make sure every decision that’s taken regarding your care is centred around your personal requirements and wishes. We know that every individual has their own completely unique set of care needs, so we’ll always make sure your care plan is matched to you. This way, you’ll get a package of support that ensures you’re never left feeling isolated or unsupported, but won’t be paying for extra hours that you simply don’t need. Your carer will be able to help out around the home in just about any way you require – including discreet assistance with toileting, bathing and dressing, proactive housekeeping support, running errands, helping with mobility, assisting with medication, and just about anything else.

24/7 live in care support

One of the care services we offer is live-in care, which involves having one of our wonderful carers come to live with you in your home and provide specialist one-to-one support. A popular alternative to moving into residential care, live-in care allows you to benefit from the peace of mind and quality of life that is brought about by having a friendly, compassionate, expertly-trained carer staying in your home and offering proactive support with day-to-day life. You’ll be able to choose your bedtimes, enjoy your favourite meals and drinks, benefit from having a clean and tidy home, and have someone alongside you to share good times and memories with.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Scarborough

Helping Hands are a private care provider, rather than a care agency. This is significant because it means you can expect a slightly different service to that offered by most agencies. For example, we employ all of our carers directly, so you know they’ve been expertly vetted, trained and supported by us since the very first day they joined us. We also offer a fully-managed service, which means that if one of your regular carers is unexpectedly unavailable, we’ll always arrange for one of our other equally brilliant carers to cover them and provide the same high level of support as usual. Furthermore, opting for care from a private provider rather than an agency means you won’t have to worry about paying your carer yourself, or spend time dealing with mountains of paperwork.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Scarborough

We’re extremely proud of our wonderful carers in Scarborough – they truly are exceptional at what they do, and constantly go above and beyond to ensure every customer receives the high standards of support they deserve. One of the reasons our carers are so loved by our customers is because we’re very particular about who we employ to our care teams – we only ever hire people who share our company-wide passion for helping others, and who possess a naturally kind and compassionate personality. When they start with us, every carer enrols on our industry-leading carer training, where they’re equipped to provide a wide range of specialist care services to people with varying needs. They’ll also receive ongoing training to ‘top up’ their knowledge and skillset and ensure they’re always providing every customer with the very best care possible.
