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.

    Better than a care agency in Sidmouth

    We’re not a care agency, as since we were founded back in 1989 we have been a private home care company with an ethos to support our customers to live their very best life possible in the home they love. Our carers really do deliver the best care possible to our customers in their own homes, and because we value them so highly, they are motivated to do the very best they can for everyone we support. We directly employ our carers which means they haven’t got the worry of self-employment to deal with, meaning their focus is on the most important thing of all – your care.

    Private Care in Sidmouth

    You may feel that you have no choice but to leave the home you love and move into residential facilities when you need professional private care, but that’s never the case with Helping Hands. We can support you at home with any number of conditions, and you’ll always feel that you are remaining in control, thanks to your bespoke package of care and personalised support plan. You choose when you eat or go to bed, not the care staff, so you’ll always feel at the centre of your own care journey.

    Emergency Care

    When you need temporary care in an emergency it can be hard to know where to turn. Who do you contact and how do you know they’re the right service for you or your loved ones? However, Helping Hands have been supporting people in their own homes since 1989, so it’s no surprise we’re considered the home care experts. If your regular carer has to leave in a hurry, you are discharged from hospital or are recovering from a fall, we can have a carer with you in 24 hours, so there’s only one number you really need.

    Overnight Care

    You may already have care during the day or perhaps your family undertake it for you, but what about at night when they’re catching up on well-earned sleep? With overnight care from Helping Hands, you and your loved ones can be confident that you’re receiving all the support you need throughout the twilight hours. Perhaps you need support to get out of bed and visit the bathroom, or you regularly need turning to prevent pressure sores, whatever it is you need help with we’ll be able to oblige, on either a visiting or live-in care basis.

    Fully trained carers in Sidmouth
