Visiting care and home care in Slough

Forever immortalised by Ricky Gervais as the headquarters of fictional paper merchant Wernham Hogg in TV series ‘The Office’, and other TV connections including iconic shows such as Thunderbirds being filmed there in the 1960s, Slough nonetheless has a lot more to offer the visitor and resident alike.

We want to make sure that our exceptional visiting and live-in care services are available to everyone locally who needs us, and because everything we do is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, you won’t find better

Conveniently only 20 miles from central London and considered a major trading centre, with its number of UK HQs of global brands only second to the capital, Slough is a thriving town with great transport links to the rest of beautiful Berkshire and beyond.

Helping Hands are well established in the county thanks to our busy branches in Reading, Maidenhead, and elsewhere, yet we felt it was time we explored further.

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.

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 Slough

Home care is not all the same. Some companies think there’s little more to it than dashing in and out, with little thought to the person and their wellbeing. At Helping Hands we don’t believe in making our customers feel like an afterthought, keeping them firmly at the centre of their care experience and always making sure their needs are our priority. Our carers are compassionate people who enjoy spending time with the people they’re supporting, helping them to live as independently as possible in the home they love.

24/7 live in care support

Live-in care takes support to another level as far as we’re concerned. Having someone living in your home with you means that you’re never alone, which will reassure not just you but your loved ones as well. They’ll be able to undertake all of your daily routine, such as housekeeping, personal care, medication and meal preparation just as our visiting carers do, yet they’ll be able to provide additional companionship whenever you want it.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Slough

Helping Hands is better than a care agency because by being a private home care company we ensure that our customers get an exceptional, consistent service. Care agencies can’t offer the same level of service because they don’t manage their carers or oversee the packages of care. Instead they charge a fee to ‘introduce’ you to a carer on their books and then you’re responsible for their employment. Our fully inclusive service means you only have to focus on living well.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Slough

Our carers are exceptional people who have a passion for caring for others. It’s not a lucky coincidence though, as we deliberately only select people to work for us who share our ethos for providing person-centred care. We nurture them once they’re working for us; building on their existing skills so that they increase their knowledge and look after their customers to the best of their ability. We consider it our duty to look after them as well as they look after you, and help them develop as their experience grows.
