Islington has a long and rich history. For instance, the hill it stands on has supplied water to the City of London for hundreds of years. Helping Hands has a rich history too, as for 36 years we’ve been helping people across the capital to live as well as possible, delivering our fully regulated visiting and live-in care.

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

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.

Supporting families

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 Waltham Forest

Whether you need us for half an hour or half a day, our visiting care at home is designed around your needs. Some of our customers appreciate help with their morning routine, preparing their breakfast, or housework support, whereas others like us to take them grocery shopping or for a coffee in the community. However and whenever you need us, we will ensure that you live well at home.

24/7 Live in care support

You’ll never be alone at home with live-in care. It won’t just provide the practical help you need but the emotional support as well. Whether it’s sitting down and having a chat over a cuppa, or walking the dog together, your carer is there for so much more than you imagine. We support people living with life-long conditions who require more complex help, and people who are just finding ageing a struggle.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Waltham Forest

We’ve been around since 1989 giving care and support to people across London and the surrounding areas. We’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales which you don’t get with care agencies, meaning there is no-one monitoring their standards of delivery. We on the other hand, welcome regulation as it demonstrates our commitment to always delivering exceptional care.

Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Waltham Forest

Our carers are the real heart of Helping Hands, and we treat them as well as they treat you. We encourage them to make the best of their skills, offering opportunities to progress and gain qualifications if they wish. We screen them carefully when they join us to make sure that only the very best people are coming into your home, which is reassuring for both you and your loved ones.
