Ideally placed between Brighton and Eastbourne, Seaford has beautiful coastline on its doorstep, as well as a rich history from its days as a major port in the Middle Ages.
Helping Hands also has a rich history to call its own, as since 1989 we have cared for thousands of people who wished to receive care but continue living in the home they love. We offer visiting and live-in care to our customers, or a blend of the two services, to create you a bespoke package of care that puts you firmly at the centre of your care journey.

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.

Handpicked carers selected for their patience, kindness and empathy

As an area care manager, I have operational and financial responsibility for the branches in my region. It is my role to lead and motivate my team and to ensure that the care we provide meets the national standards in terms of quality. On a day-to-day basis, my focus is to drive growth in terms of our carer and customer base.
In my spare time, I enjoy travelling - generally anywhere with sun and usually have another trip planned before the last one has even ended! When I am at home, I go for long walks and love stopping off for a pub lunch.

As the Regional Care Director, it is my role to lead a hugely skilled care team operating in London, Essex and the South East, ensuring the highest levels of care are being delivered to our customers on a daily basis. We have a large branch network equipped to deal with all your hourly care needs, and I am also the Registered Manager with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for our live-in program, where we are set up to support you on a more permanent basis.
I am inspired on a daily basis by the true lengths my colleagues go to, to ensure that customers can continue to live long, healthy lives from the comfort of their own homes. This is one of the main reasons that inspired me to join care.
Our Reviews
Fully regulated by the CQC
Our Seaford branch is fully regulated and accredited by the CQC
Visiting care means you get the support you need while remaining in the comfort and safety of your own home. Whether you’d like a 30-minute visit once a week for a cup of tea or a stroll around the block, or several longer visits per day, our compassionate carers will make you feel like your old self again. They can support with every task, including medication, personal care, mobility support, meal preparation and housework.
Live-in care in Seaford
You may prefer live-in care for full-time companionship, or it may be that you have a more complex condition that necessitates support around the clock. Regardless of the reason, our live-in carers are a lifeline when you want to remain living in the home you love but require constant care. They can help you with every aspect of your daily life and will ensure you get to live as independently as possible.
Better than a care agency in Seaford
We’re not a homecare agency; we’re proud of the fact that we employ all our carers directly and ensure that they are suitable to be coming into your home. We achieve this by checking references carefully and screening through the Disclosure and Barring Service. Agencies will often act as an introductory service, matching you with a carer for a fee. We take care of everything at Helping Hands though, leaving you and your carer to focus on the important thing – your wellbeing.
Dementia care in Seaford
Being diagnosed with dementia is a stressful time for the person and their loved ones, and thoughts will inevitably turn to future care needs. It’s important to choose a company with decades of experience as a dementia specialist, and that’s where we can help. Dementia care at home can be a beneficial way of supporting someone living with dementia, as remaining in familiar surroundings can help reduce confusion and the anxiety that can result.
Respite care at home
Respite care can be useful for a number of reasons. Your regular carer may be going on a break; your family may be taking a holiday, or perhaps you need extra support short-term. Our respite carers will support you as if your regular carer had never left, thanks to your personalised support plan that details exactly how you like things done. In an emergency we can often get care to you in 24 hours, so we really are the ones to trust.
Elderly care
We all find that ageing affects us in different ways, but one that happens quite often is that things we used to do with ease often become more difficult to manage. This can be the case with housework, laundry, meal preparation or even taking a shower. Many older people are also at risk of loneliness and isolation, and having care at home can provide essential companionship. Your carer can also support you to attend activities outside the house.
Fully-trained carers in Seaford
Our carers are incredible; they make life at home more manageable for thousands of our customers every day and we really do consider them the heart of our business. We only choose the best to join Helping hands and we train them thoroughly so that they’ll always know how best to support their customers. Additionally, we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, so you can be confident that we work tirelessly to go above and beyond industry guidelines.
