Visiting care and home care in Sidmouth
Sitting southeast of Exeter on the English Channel in Devon, Sidmouth has origins that pre-date recorded history, but it has been occupied since at least the Bronze Age. Originally a fishing village, Sidmouth appears in the Domesday Book as Sedemuda, meaning "mouth of the Sid", Sid being the name of the nearby river.
We love history at Helping hands and we are proud to celebrate our own, covering more than three decades. When we were founded as a family business in 1989, we believed that promoting our customers’ independence and supporting them to live their best lives at home were the core of our company, and we still believe that today. Whether you choose visiting or live-in care, you and your loved ones can be confident that we will care for you expertly while always keeping you at the centre of your care journey.

Quality care at home
From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Sidmouth 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.
