Every morning a member of your team, very cheerfully greets us, does splendidly giving us an all over wash, or shower. Having made our beds, they prepare our breakfast of a boiled egg and cereal with fruit. They then complete various other jobs. At all times they are respectful.

Caring for my mother has been made a lot easier with the help from Helping Hands we receive. They have made all the changes that we had requested and even suggested other ideas. So we are very pleased with the service provided.

Overall Experience

All the carers are very nice, polite, competent and good listeners and you seem to be able to work round any other commitments that I have and they each remember how I like things done. I think that the level of care is adequate for the moment but this may change if I get more health issues.

I am really happy with Helping Hands. The carers are kind and provide for my mother's needs. They try to have the same carers going in, although this is not always possible. The management are really helpful and flexible in emergencies. I would recommend to others.

There has always been a complete understanding of my wife's needs and the carers provided have always been totally appropriate.

We have a regular arrangement for visits but alterations or additions to this are always accommodated in a helpful manner

Overall Experience

Helping Hands carers are so lovely with my mum. They are trustworthy, professional and very friendly. They chat with my mum, bathe her legs, empty her commode and do anything that mum asks them. Once a week they change the patch on her arm. It is so reassuring for me and my brother to know the carers are reliable and professional.

Helping hands are an excellent company, they care for my mother and understand her needs, time keeping is good and continuity of care. They always keep me informed if there is any issues regarding my mum, which is good as I live away from my parents. The carers are all so caring and understanding.

Overall Experience

My Mum is so happy with helping hands coming in to do her personal care. She finds all the girls so lovely and caring. She has enabling's on Tuesday and really enjoys going out with them. She makes it so much fun for my mum. The office staff are so lovely, especially one, they all try their best to accommodate all. They provide a rota which is good for Mum as she knows who is coming each day and provides the continuity of care that my Mum needs.

Overall Experience

Having had a very bad experience with another local care agency. I have found that Helping Hands have restored my faith in care agencies. They are professional, friendly and very supportive. Both my parents have dementia which is a challenge but the carers take it in their stride and provide caring and respectful help every day. A rota is provided by Helping Hands at the end of each week for the times of the following week which is great and a report on each visit by the carers is generated for you to read which is very useful as well. I am very happy to recommend them highly.

Overall Experience
Mum has been using your services for the last four years as she has dementia but the family wanted to help her stay at home for as long as possible.
The company have always been very professional and caring towards mums changing needs.
I have met the majority of her carers with the company with one particular favorite of Mums being timetabled to visit as often as possible with her shifts.
The company have always done their utmost to accommodate extra visits when needed and are always available to discuss any issues.

Very happy that we chose this company for Mum.

Review from Peter F (Son of Client) published on 8 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Your carers look after my mum who suffers from dementia. I've not even met every carer who supports Mum, but the impression I have is that they are experienced and provide a consistently caring and sensitive response. My mum thinks they are kind.
I've been using the service for just over three months and find the office/management team very positive and keen to work flexibly and collaboratively.
I am also reassured that you seem keen to ensure that all guidelines are followed - this provides further reassurance that my mum is in good (Helping) Hands.

A great start to a new situation in my life, and more importantly, my mums - keep up the good work all - you should be proud of what's been achieved to date.

Reply from Kathryn Dawe, Branch Care Manager at Helping Hands Home Care (Torquay)
Hi Peter, thank you ever so much for leaving this heartfelt review! I'm beyond delighted to hear that you have been so pleased with our team and it means so much to know that we've been a good match for your Mum. It's our pleasure to care for your Mum, and we couldn't ask for better feedback!

Best wishes.

My experience with Helping Hands has been pure satisfaction, without their help, life for me would be extremely difficult. During this pandemic, their help has been invaluable (shopping and posting letters). As I have no living relatives that live near me, their help was very important.
