The Helping Hands team in Lincoln have been looking after my mother for 6 years in her own home after her dementia diagnosis. They started small, to eventually providing 4 visits a day, managing all her needs and medication and supporting her with dressing, washing & showering. Most importantly, to...
Over this period, the carers rotated smoothly in and out of service, and all provided the care to my mother that I would hope to give. Within the agreed time and often longer. The team took her out on day trips and short trips to a garden centre or coffee shop, which she enjoyed. Over the six years, they have actively helped me support Mother, providing clean insights as to her needs and helping with doctors' and dentists' appointments when I could not.
They enabled my mother to live where she wanted and were with her in her final hours, always updating me at critical times. I have no hesitation in recommending Helping Hands Lincoln.
We are so pleased to hear that during the 6 years we supported your Mother the carers have all provided the care you hoped for, conversing with her whilst supporting and managing all of her needs, as well as always...

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!
Helping Hands Home Care (Lincoln) carers were fantastic with my husband's Nan, and she thoroughly enjoyed the company of all of the girls. Our family would like to thank all at Helping Hands for the care provided to Nan.

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...
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.
Best wishes.
Haven't had any problems at all.

The helpers have always been kind and cheerful, usually on time except when they could not find our new home. My husband seemed to welcome them all with no queries. All the carers observed the covid restrictions.

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.
Best wishes.
Helping Hands provide a high quality service and go the extra mile when required. They have made it possible for me to continue living independently. I would happily recommend their services to friends and family. Thanks guys and keep up the good work.

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.

Have had to implement a care package for my dad and have found helping hands able to meet all our needs. Dad has had no complaints of any care and is not always the easiest to please, always reliable and to time, any problems or concerns have been easily and quickly resolved.
