Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I used Helping Hands for some respite care. The carers were absolutely lovely and very good at their job. My safety and comfort were their priority, and they were genuinely caring people. The team that arranged the care were also very helpful and responded to my questions promptly and helpfully, I would
not hesitate to use them again.

Review from Janet D (Daughter of Client) published on 17 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been very happy with the care provided by all of the carers for my mum, some are more proactive in identifying things that need to be done and a couple not so. They are always polite and respectful. My mum is pleased with the staff who come to her home. Some could offer to get some local
shopping if the fridge is looking a bit empty (which is not very often) and get some fresh vegetables, but also they could check to see if there's any out of date foodstuffs and dispose of them after checking with mum. Staff are very prompt generally and always seem to be cheerful.


The office staff are also very helpful, and accommodating when I have had a need to contact them.

The office staff are extremely helpful, supportive and always carry through any requests. Thank you so much.
The carers are kind, respectful, reliable and do a great job! Thank you
Times can be a little astray but with traffic, roadworks and the recent heat this is not surprising.
Whenever we have
requested extra support for hospital appointments, the carers have been an enormous help: we are very grateful.

I received good advice at the outset. We have a sitting service for three hours once per week. The staff members always arrive on time and are tidily dressed in a uniform. My wife is comfortable in their presence and always appears happy upon my return at the end of the visit.
