Hi, I'm Adam and as Regional Care Director, I'm responsible for making sure that all the customers we help are looked after brilliantly. In order to do this, we need to have the very best carers and support teams there for them so that they can thrive within Helping Hands and do what they do best: care. I think we do everything possible to really understand our customers' needs and then do everything possible to find the right carer for them. Our carers do a wonderful job, and they are special people who are 'hardwired' to care.
Our Reviews
Fully regulated by the CQC
Our St Austell branch is fully regulated and accredited by the CQC
We understand how important it is that you remain in control of your care, which is why the team will work with you to provide a personalised care plan that puts your needs at the centre. Whether your loved one is living with dementia and you are concerned for their wellbeing at home, or you simply need some extra support in getting out and about in your local community; our team providing home care in St Austell are here to give you the support you need, when you need it.
With each of our carers completing an award-winning training programme, our St Austell team are fully equipped to provide high-quality support for Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cerebral palsy, mental health conditions and many more.
Emergency care
You can’t always anticipate when you might require additional care, or when your regular carer might become unavailable at short notice. Perhaps you’ve been discharged from hospital a few days early, or your carer has been taken ill and is unable to find cover for you. With emergency care from Helping Hands, we’ll almost always be able to provide you with one of our brilliant carers within 24 hours of your call – ensuring you never feel isolated or unable to perform the tasks and chores that need doing.
Private care in St Austell
When you choose a private care provider for your home care, you’ll receive a bespoke, personalised care plan that is fully tailored to your specific needs and preferences. This means you’ll have control over many aspects of your care, including things like meals, visits, trips out, bed times and much more. Every detail, big and small, is in your hands.
Overnight care
Overnight care is one of the main benefits of having a live-in carer. Having a friendly, fully-trained carer stay in your home with you every night means you won’t ever be left feeling isolated or unsupported, and it’ll provide both you and your family with total peace of mind that there’ll always be someone around if you have an accident or if a medical condition takes an unexpected turn for the worse.

When they join us, our carers are enrolled in our award-winning training scheme which equips them to provide you with exceptional, person-centred care. Their training is topped up by regular refresher courses to ensure they’re always following industry standards and best practices. Additionally, we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, giving you added reassurance about our total commitment to excellence across the board.
