Review from Aubrey L (Client / Service User) published on 28 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am 92 years of age and have just undergone a total knee replacement.
As I was in need of some assistance over and above family and neighbours I contacted Helping Hands, Poole. Stacey and her excellent team of ladies have been extremey caring and helpful nothing too much to ask for everthing willingly done.
Since I am now able to do things myself it has been agreed to reduce the visits and terminate them at the end of the month.

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

Overall Experience
We are coming up to our first year of support for our elderly Mum. She is 93y, with a range of challenges which includes the early stages of Dementia + Alzeimers.
The team from Helping Hands have been happy to support Mum with light cleaning, preparing meals, administering meds etc and then also offering friendly chat and companionship. It has been brilliant and mum has responded well to the support. We have needed to regularly update Mums care plan and increase her support in different areas. We have found the team at HH to be really supportive and they listen to us and Mum which is so important.

It has all worked and continues to be working really well

Overall Experience

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.

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.

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.

Overall Experience
Helping hands have improved the quality of my elderly dad's life since receiving their care. He has built up relationships with the staff. Recently, due to the quick action of the supervisor, expedited his admission to hospital following a fall and a long lie outside, we experienced the expertise. Her actions whilst waiting for the ambulance surely saved his life. I cannot be more grateful.
The flexibility and accommodation of his needs has been exemplary since his return home. The team liaise well with the PICs team and due to this collaboration means dad can remain at home and recover.

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.

Overall Experience
As acting Power of Attorney for a lady originally from Thailand on behalf of her step children, where I needed the help of a care agency as her husband passed away earlier this year. With health issues and unable to read English, she was not taking her medication or visits to the doctor and dentist.
Helping Hands Home Care were superb in helping with emergency medical appointments, regular carer visits morning and evening , the lady looked forward to their visits and chats which made her life more enjoyable.
Easy to call Helping Hands day or night if needed.

I was so lucky in finding such an amazing company.

Review from Jane N (Daughter of Client) published on 6 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Helping Hands have been caring for my dad since the end of last year. The staff have always been caring, kind and patient with him.
It has made all the difference in his life and has enabled him to stay in his own home. He really enjoys their visits and chats.
After a hospital admission at the beginning of the year, it was possible to increase the visits until Dad felt well enough to be more independent.
After an accident at home 2 weeks ago when conditions were extreme, Dad was given amazing care and was taken to hospital for treatment. Without the quick thinking and care given by the helping hands team, the situation would have been very different.
I cannot praise the team enough for their high standard of care and flexibility. Communication with them has been fantastic and she has managed to support Dad's increased needs since discharge.

Helping Hands have given my sister and me the peace of mind that my dad is in safe and caring hands with the team.

Overall Experience
We have recently arranged for Helping Hands to provide care for my mum who lives in her own flat and is very frail. From our initial meeting to assess Mum's needs, to find out what she likes, to her regular visits, everyone has shown such kindness, professionalism and attention to Mum's ongoing care.
She really looks forward to her carers twice a day, feeling very at ease, and she has a good routine now with help for those tasks she finds difficult now. It is such piece of mind for me too, knowing that she looks forward to her visits, her chats and they treat her with such kindness and respect.

Thank you so much, I am so very pleased we chose Helping Hands, and would not hesitate to recommend you all there.

The carer arrived on time and we immediately started talking and sharing information about ourselves.

The atmosphere was very relaxed and I explained what I would like the carer to do on this visit. I'm sure the extra help and company will be very welcome each week. I think the carer is flexible enough to fit in with my needs which may vary according to my health.
