Visiting care and home care in Stockport

Helping Hands can’t claim a history as long as Stockport’s, however we have been established since 1989, providing exceptional visiting and live-in care to people across the region.

Because our care services are all fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales you and your loved ones can always be confident in our high standards of care delivery.

Stockport’s more modern settlement goes back to the 12th century, when a motte and bailey castle was part of the local landscape, although there has been evidence found of inhabitants in the area since the Mesolithic period, between 8000 and 3500 BC. Stockport was also an industrial hub during the Industrial Revolution, with factories producing cotton, silk, and hats.

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

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 Stockport

Our home care isn’t like other companies’ because we focus totally on the people in our care and put them at the centre of their support experience. We’ve developed our care provision over the last four decades and despite growing to own and manage 155 branches across England and Wales we’ve never lost sight of the values we were founded with. These include promoting our customers’ independence at all times and only employing people who share these values with us.

24/7 live in care support

Our live-in carers are on hand around the clock in our customers’ homes to make sure that they’re never alone. They enable you to continue living in the home you love while knowing that there’s always someone there to help you with your daily routine. Whether you’re living with mild or complex care needs our carers are all devoted to keeping you as independent as possible and supporting you to live as well as possible at all times.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Stockport

We’re a private home care company founded more than 30 years ago to deliver a service to people that was sorely lacking. Care agencies focus on the introduction side of things, sourcing you a carer that’s independent and then having little to do with the process. By contrast, we employ our carers directly and manage all of our care packages ourselves, resulting in a consistency you just can’t get from an agency.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Stockport

Our carers are amazing, helping thousands of people across the UK to remain living independently in their own homes. We can only achieve this by recruiting the very best people to work for us and giving them the skills and knowledge necessary. We build on their existing experience and help them to become the very best carer they can, through a programme of continuing development and qualifications. We’re also proud that many stay to build a career with us.
