Visiting care and home care in Southport
Situated just a short distance out of Liverpool’s bustling city centre, Southport offers 22 miles of beautiful English coastline overlooking the Irish Sea. Perhaps more importantly, it is also home to one of the UK’s leading homecare providers – Helping Hands.
Covering areas such as Formby, Little Altcar, Great Altcar, Haskayne, Ormskirk, Burscough, Holmeswood, Banks and Shirdley Hill, our local Helping Hands team provide individually tailored, high-quality home care packages that are built entirely around you. As experts in person-centred care, compassion and empathy are at the heart of our service, so we will work with you to find out the exact support that you need to fit in to your existing routines.
Whether you’re living with a progressive condition, recovering from a life-changing injury, or you just need a little companionship, our Southport team are here to help.

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