Visiting care and home care in Selby

We’ve been well established in the beautiful county of Yorkshire for many years yet decided to explore further and offer our exceptional visiting and live-in care services to the people of Selby.

Our services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales so you can always be confident in our superb care delivery.

The pretty Yorkshire town of Selby has been dominated by its magnificent Abbey for almost a thousand years. Once destroyed by fire and then painstakingly rebuilt by hand, the Abbey remains at the heart of community life.

There’s plenty to do for adrenaline junkies too, as well as cyclists and walkers, who’ll love the Trans Pennine Trail cycleway which takes you straight into York.

Quality care at home

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

Our visiting and live-in care packages are tailored to the needs of our individual customers, making sure that whatever you need support with, happens. We care for people who have mild needs or the most complex, helping with housework, personal care, companionship, and whatever else you require. We support people with dementia, cancer, and at the end of their lives, and because we have our own team of clinical nurses we can offer nurse-led care at home too.

24/7 live in care support

Having a carer living in your home reassures you and your loved ones that you’re never alone. Whether you have a complex health condition or just want someone there for companionship, we can offer you an exceptional, bespoke service that you just won’t get from other care companies. Comparable to the cost of a care home, why not have someone living in your home with you so that you don’t have to move out of the place you love?

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Selby

Helping Hands has never been a care agency – we’re proud that we’re a private home care company and have been since we were established in 1989. Care agencies just can’t compete with a company like Helping Hands, as we will always keep our costs transparent and ensure you get a fully managed service, unlike an agency who will charge you fees for ‘introducing’ you to a carer and then have little more to do with the process.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Selby

Our carers are amazing at what they do – but that’s because we carefully select the people who join us to ensure they have natural qualities of compassion and kindness. We carry out all of our own recruitment, selection, and training, feeling that we can only maintain our consistently high standards if we manage it ourselves. Our 155 branches across England and Wales look for the best people in their area to join the Helping Hands family, ready to support you at home.
