Home care in Stowmarket
Visiting care and home care in Stowmarket
Granted a market charter by Edward III in 1347, and with a bi-weekly market still held there to this day, Stowmarket is a market town between Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. The town’s name is from the Old English word stow, which means ‘principal place’.
While we have a noteworthy history at Helping Hands, it’s nowhere near as long as Bury St Edmund’s is, which is why we wanted to get to know the town better. If you’re not familiar with what we do at Helping Hands, we provide high quality home care for our customers who wish to remain living in the place that means everything to them. There’s no need to go and live in a care home because you need additional support, as we’ll come to you and give you all the help you need to continue living as independently as possible.

Branch Care Manager
I've been with Helping Hands for 4.5 years, starting my journey in homecare here. I’m proud to work for a company that helps individuals stay safe and independent. I’m passionate about respecting people’s wishes and maintaining their independence. My Grandad taught me kindness through our Saturday church visits. I also enjoy embroidering and upholstering furniture in my free time.

Other care we provide
High quality home care in Stowmarket
When you need a little extra support to make your days easier, visiting care in Stowmarket sees our amazing carers go the extra mile for our customers every single day. You might enjoy keeping your home clean and tidy or prefer walking in nature, but whatever your interests are and however you need our help, your carer will assist you to make the most of every day. They’ll also help you to eat well, manage your medication, be confident in your mobility, and all the other daily tasks that will keep you comfortable at home.
24/7 live in care support
Live-in care takes support at home to another level. Having someone living in your home with you will mean you’ll never be concerned about loneliness or being on your own, which is reassurance for your family too. Your live-in carer will undertake all the daily tasks you want completed but they’ll also be there to keep you company whenever you want, something that intermittent carers just don’t usually have time to do. Your carer won’t make you feel as if your home isn’t your own though; they’ll be discreet at all times and give you time alone when you want it.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Stowmarket
We’re not a care agency at Helping Hands, we’re a private home care company and always have been. You may think ‘what’s the difference’ but it is significant. A care agency doesn’t employ its own carers and rarely gets involved in the management of the care packages, rather they ‘match’ you with a self-employed carer or expect you to employ them yourself. We’re very different – we are a private company who recruit and employ all of our carers ourselves and own all of our branches, meaning a bespoke experience for you and your loved ones.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Stowmarket
Since 1989, we’ve been delivering the highest quality care in our customers’ own homes, which is why we’re considered the UK’s home care specialists. Part of our appeal is the fact we find our carers ourselves without relying on outside agencies, then we screen them carefully to ensure they’re the type of people who should be in your home. We also have our own training academy at Helping Hands which enables us to design a bespoke learning experience for each of our employees. This means we can equip them with the skills they’ll need to do their job effectively and build on what they already know.
