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 💜​

One of our amazing carers shared these heartwarming photos of her daughter taking part in "Not All Heroes Wear Capes" day at school — dressed proudly as a Helping Hands carer, just like her mum!​

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. ✨

Delia shares her story with us, giving us 5 star review! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“Helping Hands is a superb agency – I strongly recommend them!

I would recommend Helping Hands above other care providers. I have had other care providers previously for my Mum and all others have not been of the standard that Helping Hands are.

If you are thinking of going to direct payments or pay for care yourself, you cannot go wrong with Helping Hands. Carers have been superb, and nothing is too much trouble. The carers adhere to the care plan, are respectful and compassionate and are never rushing or saying they don’t have enough time to do things (which I have experienced with previous agencies)

I cannot speak more highly of Helping Hands, Thank you Delia”

Steven shares his story with us, giving us 5 star review! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“Brilliant staff who are perfectly matched to work with my daughter. She looks forward to seeing every one of them. The staff are always all kind and compassionate.

My daughter suffers from anxiety and staff including the manager go above and beyond to reassure my daughter whenever she is worried about something. They do all the work expected of them but also have the time to just listen… which is an important skill to have.

The manager perfectly chooses the right staff to work with my daughter every time. Our family are very grateful for their service received from Helping Hands.

Thank you, Steven”

Karen shares her story with us, giving us 5 star review! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“Helping Hands is a professional care service that provides bespoke care to my Dad in his own home. I have found that all members of staff are well trained, presentable, and professional. Moreover, they are kind and friendly at all times.

Communication with the office is excellent and I feel comfortable ringing or emailing for any reason shou the need arises. I would highly recommend this company and the care they provide. The care and respect that is shown to my Dad allows us to have peace of mind and enables my Dad to continue living independently in his own home.

As a family, we are very grateful to everyone involved, Thank you Karen”

“Since arranging for Helping Hands to assist with Mum who has Dementia, I have found a the whole process to be relatively stress free!
Communication is very good, notifications of any changes are explained when need be, Mum’s care is paramount and Linda who visits Mum, has assisted in calming Mum when need be.

Mum really looks forward to these visits. Thank you to everyone”

Susan shares her story with us, giving us 5 star review! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The attention to detail continued in Mum’s care plan is so reassuring, they have noted everything. The entry notes of visits are comprehensive and again so reassuring as you can see they are following what is asked.

It makes life so much easier for the family as we are not local and reply so much on the professionalism of the carers we have engaged. Mum’s wellbeing is of paramount of importance.

Helping hands have been proactive in all my dealing with them to date, Thank you Susan.”
