Visiting care and home care Skelmersdale

If you’re looking for exceptional care at home in Skelmersdale, then you need to talk to Helping Hands. Our visiting and live-in care is exceptional, supporting people to live well at home and as independently as possible. Our carers are compassionate and caring and they’ll help you with every aspect of your daily routine, such as personal care, housework, laundry, meal preparation and medication.

Despite being a new town, Skelmersdale does have historic roots, even appearing in the Domesday Book of 1086. If your mobility allows, your carer will also help you to get out of the house more, enabling you to make the most of West Lancashire and reduce the risk of social isolation.

    High quality home care in Skelmersdale

    We’re not like other home care providers at Helping Hands. Our premium service is delivered by the very best carers who have compassion at heart.

    24/7 live in care support

    Live-in care takes things a step further, meaning you’ll never be alone at home, day and night. This offers the highest levels of reassurance for both you and your loved ones that you’ll be supported around the clock. We support people with the highest levels of clinical needs, with nurse-managed packages that enable people to continue living at home, to lower-level, age-related frailties requiring a little support. Whatever your circumstances, we’ll be there for you.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Skelmersdale

    We’ve never been a care agency, and that matters. That’s because care agencies operate differently to private care companies. Care agencies expect their carers to be self-employed, or worse, they require the person needing care to organise their employment. This isn’t what you should be burdened with when you need care! Helping Hands select, train, and employ all of our carers directly, meaning they get looked after as well as they look after you.
