Helping Hands

Retirement is a wonderful prospect; enjoying work-free days where people can visit friends, spoil the grandchildren or take some well-earned time for themselves. But there are also other things to consider, such as people maintaining their health, ensuring they can still look after themselves and their home and also what will happen as they get older and perhaps less physically able.

For some retirees, support at home isn’t required at the moment, but for others, even a little assistance is making a huge difference enabling them to continue living independently in a stress-free environment.

As one of the UK’s leading home care providers, Helping Hands knows exactly what it takes to provide high quality care that supports comfort and independence within retirement communities. With over 30 years’ experience supporting over 40,000 families across England and Wales, Helping Hands have a wealth of experience in supporting individuals with all kinds of support. From things such as meal preparation and housekeeping, through to those people who may require a bit more support. With support such as personal care, medication, mobility and dementia care.
