My elderly father in law has been assisted with taking a shower by the staff at Helping Hands for some time now. He has nothing but praise for every member of staff who has attended. They are all professional ,courteous and friendly. He is extremely deaf ,but the staff demonstrate great patience in
dealing with this.
We are very happy with 'Helping Hands' and would recommend their services.

Review from L L (Daughter of Client) published on 9 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Helping Hands have been providing care for my mum for the past 11 months visiting 3 times a day 7 days a week providing personal care when required, assisting with meal prep, shopping, collecting and dispensing medication.
All of these tasks are carried out efficiently and each care assistant assigned
to my mum is friendly courteous and respectful.
On occasions, I have had to change visiting times or ask for extra help at short notice. The care assistants, branch staff and management at Helping Hands Home Care Southport have always gone above and beyond to support my mum's needs and care.

I have only been with Helping Hands for a short while but I am very pleased with the care they have provided for my husband who has dementia, the carers always treat him with dignity and seem genuinely concerened for my well being as well.

Review from Eve H (Friend of Client) published on 16 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As I recently had a hip replacement, Helping Hands came in twice a day to assist my husband who has dementia and to provide breakfast and a light tea for us both. Now I am more able, we have agreed for them to come in for one hour twice a week to do any cleaning, ironing and shopping which may be needed.
In the past 2 months we have needed their service, I cannot praise all the ladies (and gentleman) enough for their help and kindness in what was a difficult time for us. A worthwhile service which I can thoroughly recommend.

The staff provide good care for Mum and support us as a family to continue to keep Mum at home. They are aware of Mum's routine and do their best to keep that in place for her. We look forward to that continuing with the current staff.

About me


I have worked in Homecare for five years, returning to Helping hands in 2024.
I think that Helping Hands not only cares about its customers but also the staff, ensuring that they are supported and trained to provide a great service.
I am a mother of four and don‘t get much free time but if I do, I enjoy watching a good sci-fi film or reading a book on mythology.
