Here at Helping Hands we offer individually tailored high quality home care in Folkestone, Dover & Deal and the surrounding areas.

The dedicated Home Care in Folkestone, Dover & Deal team have a range of care packages that are all built around you. Carers can support you with personal care, hoists, mobility, housework and even companionship. And if your needs change, we can amend your support plan at any time. Visiting care from the team can be anything from 30 minute visits throughout the week to full time live in care, so that you have constant reassurance that you're taken care of at home. Our carers receive award winning training to equip them to care for a range of different needs, and our service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

As a live-in carer, Rita finds meaning in every day. Here’s how her journey began:

🗣 “It was a combination of personal fulfilment and to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Meeting different people from all walks of life and listening to their stories. Everyone has a unique story and experience to share.”

Each day is different, although some activities may be the same:
🗣 “Supporting daily living activities... Preparing meals, housekeeping, administering medication, and any other duties... it gives me the opportunity to build a relationship with them and in turn I get job satisfaction.”

💬 “I was very excited about joining the company, the training that they offer us as carers has been very effective in developing my skills and knowledge.”

Thank you, Rita, for sharing your journey 💜

Not all heroes wear capes... some wear Helping Hands uniforms 💜

She even told her classmates all about the important role carers play and how much her mummy loves her job.

It’s moments like these that remind us what a difference care makes — not just to the people we support, but to the families who see the impact every day. ✨

For Esi, living with cerebral palsy involves more than managing physical challenges - it also means confronting the stigma and misconceptions that often surround disability.

Watch as Esi shares the impact of comments, how they shape feelings, and a powerful reminder for us all 💜

When it comes to supporting a loved one, feeling truly listened to makes all the difference.

Huseyin, a dedicated member of our Live-in Care Team, shared what a day in his role looks like - a true example of compassionate, person-centred care.

“My day is structured around the needs, preferences, and routines of each individual I care for.”

Person-centred care means putting the individual at the heart of everything we do - respecting their choices, routines, and values. It’s about supporting people to live well, with independence in the comfort of their own homes.

"My role involves various aspects, such as personal care, medication management, meal preparation, companionship, household tasks, communication, and any specialised care that I provide."

This kind of work takes empathy, patience, and heart, and we're proud to have carers like Huseyin who embody this every day. 💜
