We have been using helping hands for my grandmother for a couple of years now and we are very happy with the service they provide. We need two carers as my gran is bed bound and they are almost always on time. They are always friendly and courteous and they engage well with my grandmother. She likes
all the carers that visit her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a positive difference the care from Helping Hands has made to my uncle's life! An initial pre-care visit plus regular care plan reviews ensure my uncle's needs are understood and met. 15 months ago, he reluctantly accepted one visit a day for personal care. How he is happily receiving 3 daily visits
for personal care, 2 weekly cleaning visits and a 2 hour outing each week. Not only can my uncle remain living where he wants to but he seems much more confident. He like routine and carers are most reliable and punctual. It's a joy to see my uncle not only looking so smart but also talking and laughing more. Staff certainly go the extra mile!

Review from Sarah T (Daughter of Client) published on 8 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum is 94, has cancer, which means she can only eat soft food and has severe memory loss. Helping Hands visit three times a day to ensure she’s eating suitable meals, giving her her medication, keeping her company, going for a walk and generally making sure she can manage everything. Since they started
in May, they’ve been wonderful. She enjoys their visits (says they’re “ a lovely bunch of ladies”). They keep an eye on her health and are very good at communicating with me if they’re worried about Mum. Due to the memory loss, I don’t believe Mum would be safe living alone any longer without Helping Hands. They enable her to stay in the home she loves so much. And they give me the piece of mind to know Mum’s safe.
On the administrative side, they’re very efficient. It’s really useful to have the times of visits each week and who’ll be visiting. Mum doesn’t always remember, but it means I can have a chat each day and remind her who’s visiting. Worth every penny.

The Helping Hands office team are very professional, organised and flexible and communication is excellent. Any issues we experience with Mum are responded to with guidance, patience and understanding. I have only met one of the carers, but I have confidence in the service and it is reliable, so I have
confidence in the staff. There will always be things in the care sector that don't go according to plan, but I have given Helping Hands 5 stars because of the overall positive experience.

Patience with my mum, not felt rushed. Asked about our house rabbit who then obliged and came in to say hello. Asked if anything needed doing and offered to clean the downstairs toilet. Afterwards, I noticed how clean it was and felt I couldn't use it. It was better than what I had been doing.
