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.

    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.

    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.
