Home Care Providers Owned by Helping Hands Home Care in Dorset

We've been going through an extremely tough 8 months....this last month we had to move the place of mums care...helping hands team were excellent in meeting the requirements. Addaping a plan that suited mum and the situations that have arrisen. Our thanks to the team for being so understanding and not adding to our situation and always trying to help!

The Ferndown team are providing caring and supportive assistance to my uncle who has dementia and lives on his own. The carers keep me updated in a timely fashion with any concerns or issues that need addressing and offer useful and helpful suggestions as to how to improve the support they give. As I live a distance away this is extremely useful and knowing that a carer visits daily reassures me that my uncle is safe and well.

Generally very supportive and helpful given that family do not live local to Mum. All carers work well and compassionately to support Mum despite continuity of Mum's carers being difficult to maintain. It is always easy to contact the branch either by phone or email. I feel my questions, concerns and requests are listened to and acted upon. All Mum's carers are respectful of her contribution to her own care, they listen to her and respect her wishes. Helping Hands support is allowing Mum to stay where she wants, in her own home.

It is likely that I will need my other knee dealt with later and I will have no hesitation in contacting Helping Hands again.

My mum has been diagnosed with dementia and latterly with a terminal disease. It has left her very confused at times but at other times she is fully aware of where she is and can get very upset about small changes. We have engaged Helping Hands to help ensure that medication is administered and that help and companionship is available.

They have been very flexible with changing needs and undertake various tasks to allow her to stay in her own home.

The Ferndown Team have been so caring and supportive for my father and their dedication and allowed him to stay in his own home for 3 years. They showed great flexibility and initiative in problem solving. He received the highest level of care and company during this time and we are so grateful for everything they have done.

It has all worked and continues to be working really well

The management behind the scenes is fantastic in every way if help is needed.

My father was very much in need of care at home but very reluctant to allow anyone to come in. Eventually he agreed to Helping Hands, spoke to the manager who explained they could provide a minimal service for him to get used to someone calling in to help. The daily visits quickly became very important to him, and great help to family members knowing he had a professional going in every day. He eventually increased the time and the visits became a highlight of his day. The carers were very responsive to his requirements, helped keep his home clean and tidy, personal care, and a friendly face to chat to.

Helping Hands Poole have been amazing. They have provided my mother with the help and support she needed. She has thoroughly enjoyed the contact with all the different carers and has looked forward to seeing them throughout the day. All the carers I have personally come into contact with were happy, caring, efficient and were genuinely dedicated to their work. It is a big thank you from me.

I really value the Helping Hands early morning visits. I have discontinued other carers during the day, but value early support. I tend to be very self-sufficient.

Everybody was very friendly, very efficient and very professional. It was a pleasure to share with staff.

The customer day that Helping Hands do is lovely, I really enjoyed the cream tea and cake. The carrot cake was beautiful. The carers are lovely girls, all of them. I cannot fault them. I couldn't manage without them.

We all hope we'll never need care, but if you do, I'd recommend HH Ferndown.

Since we have been using Helping Hands, we have found the care to be excellent. The communication with the team/management is very good and are always willing to help. Any issues are addressed straight away and updates are provided in a timely manner. The company is flexible with having to change visits at short notice and suggestions are forthcoming to make the care of my father more comfortable.

Also pleased with the clear and regular communication with the managers and office staff.

Helping Hands Home Care, thank you so much for all of the help you are giving my mum. The carers are always friendly, caring and very professional. My mum enjoys their visits and a chat. The office staff are always helpful if I need to phone about anything. It is peace of mind to know that there is always a carer going to visit my mum morning and night. Thank you.

I have used Helping Hands for my Sister-in-Law for companionship and helping around the home for the past 3/4 months and they have been amazing, my sister-in-law is disabled and they are a great help and such lovely people! Would definitely recommend it!

We have found Helping Hands to be extremely professional. They have provided excellent care and my dad really enjoys their visits. They are happy to administer medication and have even suggested extra support if they see a need. Currently they are invaluable in keeping dad safe in his own home.

This service I cannot recommend enough. The team deserve recognition and high praise as I know he is being well looked after and this puts my mind at ease.
