Visiting care and home care in Wakefield
In an area famous for its cathedral, coal-mining heritage, and rhubarb, our Wakefield branch is overlooked by the Pennines and the River Calder. We offer professional and consistent care suited to you or your loved ones’ particular care needs, with a flexible package tailored entirely to you which can change at any time as your requirements do.
Friendly and compassionate, we provide person-centred care for you when you need us most. We offer anything from short visits to help with daily chores, taking a shower or preparing meals, to short-term spells after you’re recovering from an injury or long-term solutions for more complex conditions.

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