Visiting care and home care in Scunthorpe

Scunthorpe is known as the “industrial garden town” and is the UK’s largest steel processing centre. It has a long history and appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086, however, really came into its own from the 1850s, thanks to the formation of the iron works.
We understand rapid growth at Helping Hands as we started with one local branch in 1989 and now have 155, thanks to our exemplary visiting and live-in care services.

Scunthorpe live-in care

With live-in care you get around the clock support with every aspect of your daily life, because our carers live with you in your own home. You never have to worry about being on your own again as you’ll have care whenever you need it, plus companionship when you want it.

Better than a care agency in Scunthorpe

We’re better at what we do than an agency ever could be because we care so much about our customers and carers. We’d never expect our carers to be self-employed like some agencies do, and we’d never charge our customers hidden fees for ‘matching’ you with a carer or referring you to someone else. We’ve always been transparent about our services and that will never change.

Domiciliary care for help at home

Domiciliary care, or care at home, is a fantastic alternative to going into residential care, especially if you love your home and don’t want to leave it. When you need support at home, regardless of the complexity of your condition, our visiting and live-in care services can see carers come to you from as little as 30 minutes per week, so we have the flexibility and knowledge to devise a totally bespoke package of care for you.

Dementia care from our specialists

When you’ve been diagnosed with dementia there is a lot to consider. The question of eventual care may not come to mind at first, however it’s important to have those conversations with loved ones so that when you need dementia care, your wishes will be known by those around you. We’re a dementia specialist company with 36 years of experience supporting people living with dementia, so you can be confident in our ability to care for you to the highest standards.

Respite care for short-term support

Whether you need short-term support due to your regular carer needing a break, your family going on holiday or while you recover from an accident or illness, respite care from Helping Hands can be just what you need in the interim. Thanks to your personalised support plan, our carers will support you just as if your regular carer was still there, providing a continuity of care that is second to none. Even in an emergency, we can often get care to you within 24 hours.

Fully trained carers in Scunthorpe

Our carers are amazing at what they do; we value them highly because our thousands of customers wouldn’t get the support they need to live their best lives possible without them. We train them well when they join us, although there are qualities we insist on naturally, such as empathy and kindness. Because we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales you can be confident in our high standards of care too.
