Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our experience of Helping Hands over the last 18 months that we have used their services to care for our 92 year old mother has been 100% positive, and we would unhesitatingly recommend them.
Our 2 regular Carers, are not only super-efficient, but they always come in smiling and happy, and our Mum
is very fond of them- they are 2 of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet!
The organisation is also very efficient in our experience, and they will always contact us if there are issues of any kind, and will offer a solution.
I am writing this review on behalf of not just me, but my brother and sister as well, as we all feel exactly the same way!
So top marks to a great Company!

I've found them all considerate, sensitive and sensible but where they score is that they're kept up with the times. and not only help with domestic matters but with the daily technical chores of adjustments, timings, switching, positioning and replenishing that dogs the modern house.
