Helping Hands' branch in Braintree provides individually tailored support that is completely unique to each person and their requirements.

Helping Hands has more than 30 years' experience in providing dedicated home care to more than 40,000 families across the UK. Just like at the other branches, the Braintree team can provide anything from regular visits throughout the week to help a loved one manage at home, to more intensive live-in support for a complex condition.

This could be following a return home from hospital and your loved one would like a little support on their road to recovery, or perhaps they are living with dementia and require regular support as the condition progresses.

Review from R C (Brother of Client) published on 30 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Helping Hands (Braintree) have supported my sister, who suffers from Alzheimer's, in her own home for approximately 3 years. Although she is mobile, she needs constant prompting to carry out everyday activities, personal hygiene and eating. The carers have been patient, kind and dedicated. The office
management has been flexible and understanding. Having had a poor standard organisation in the past, H.H. have been an absolute lifesaver. Thank you all so much,

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My experience with ' Helping Hands' is mostly good. The carers are well-presented, and usually on time and mostly efficient. There have been several occasions where I have had to phone the office to find out why my carer is delayed. Overall a good service.

Review from Michael W (Husband of Client) published on 24 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The standard and quality of care provided by Helping Hands is exemplary all round. The employees have turned out in any weather and conditions and cheerfully, being in a village location - narrow roads and lack of lighting - not easy for anybody. They have helped with transport and shopping when needs
must. Because of the caring and sharing, we have felt more like a family unit than clients. They deserve treble income for their provision of care!
We salute them all.
Reply from Bethany-Maree Seaward, Branch Care Manager at Helping Hands Home Care (Braintree)

Hi Michael,
What a glowing review - thank you ever so much! I'm so delighted to hear how impressed you are with our service and that you consider us to be a family unit! It is our absolute pleasure to provide support to your wife and we are always happy to help.
With very best wishes,
