Visiting care and home care in Shrewsbury
A market town that was the birthplace to Charles Darwin, Shrewsbury is a mix of the very old and very new. The old is represented by 660 listed buildings, Shrewsbury Abbey that was founded in 1083 and a largely unspoiled medieval street plan. The new? Well, that would be the addition of one of the UK’s leading home care providers – Helping Hands. With ongoing training and development, as well as monitoring & regulation via the Care Quality Commission (CQC), we are committed to providing your loved one with the support they need; at the highest possible standard
With visiting care available from just 45 minutes per week, we are available as little or often as you need to provide support for your loved one. Ranging from companionship to personal care and nursing care, we are able to offer a compassionate, person-centred approach to every customer, with specialist support available if required. For those that need assistance around the clock, get in touch to find out more about our live-in care services.

Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Shrewsbury 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.
Over 155 branches across the UK means we're local to you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
