Thank you very much for your review. It is a honour to support looking after mum and dad.
Very much impressed with the support carers that have attended to my mother over a 2 week period. We found them to be punctual, friendly, eager to please and courteous and the management supporting these carers were in touch with what was happening on the ground. We are very grateful for all the help that we have received.
Thank you so much for your review, it is always nice that we get a review back from clients we have supported.
Helping at home is a very efficiently run company. The carers give my husband a thorough shower every evening and are very friendly and caring. They are always on time and will always help when it is needed.
Thank you very much for this lovely review. It is an honour to support your husband and the carers have become very fond of him.
All the staff are extremely caring and attentive to my husband's needs.
They are more like friends now which makes life a lot easier for us all in these challenging times.
The office staff are excellent too always contactable when in need.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. It is an honour to support you all in these challenging times.
Started with Helping at Home in January and having experienced 4-months of care for my mum we could not be happier. The visit timings are perfect, they vary no more than 15 minutes and the pool of carers who support mum is very consistent. Mum is very happy and speaks highly of all the carers with a couple of favourites. We get weekly rotas in advance and every time I have spoken to the office team they have been professional, supportive and very friendly. A recent highlight was a home visit to review the care and support mum is getting. Megan was friendly, professional and attentive with mum, taking care to allow time for mum to process what she was being asked and answer in her own time. We are totally happy with the team and the care provided, and I recommend anyone looking for care in the home speak to the Helping at Home team as part of their search, they're excellent.
Thank you so much for your lovely review it is an honour to look after mum. She certainly has a good family surronding her as well which makes all the difference.
All the staff are super friendly and caring always checking care needs and making suitable adjustments with regular reviews. Getting in touch with the office for any updates or changes is easy and the company are accommodating. Really pleased with the care service provided.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We always strive to do what we can to support our wonderful clients.
They are always upbeat and very friendly and caring whenever they visit.
We are informed weekly in advance of the intended rotation and who will be attending.
We are so lucky to get the chance to look after mum and it is our pleasure. I am glad you are happy with the service being provided.
I am pleased with the care I receive twice a week. They are friendly, and efficient. They are patient and helpful. They help me with washing and dressing. They help my wife changing bed covers. The office staff are always friendly and there to answer any queries.
It is a pleasure to support you. I am glad you are pleased with the service that you are provided.
I have only high praise for all the carers that look after my Mother in Law, she is confined to bed and not easy to manage but your girls all do a brilliant job, all so friendly and caring, we wouldn't be able to cope without home care. Thank you all for doing a great job !

Helping at Home when to a part in the storm. Adaptable, reliable, and a godsend. Always there, kind and cheerful. Could recommend to any of my family.
Thank you for the lovely review! It is a pleasure to support you and your husband.
All the staff are really nice people, kind and caring and respectful of both myself and my home. Needs are not only physical, but the friendliness and sympathetic attitude really help with mental health. Also, staff have been very willing to accommodate special needs, e.g. escorts to hospital or doctor appointments. I would have no hesitation in recommending Helping at Home.
Thank you for the review we really appreciate it and we love being able to support you.
My mum has also been positive about her visits which is really reassuring to us.

Thank you Mark for this lovely review. It is a pleasure and honour to look after dad and ensure that he stays at home with mum.
iMy father was in hospital after having had a stroke and the Helping at Home team were very helpful during the discharge and adjusting back at home process. We felt well supported by their care & service and are extremely grateful for all the lovely members of the team who help us look after dad on a daily basis.
Thank you for your kind review. We are very honoured to be able to look after dad and keep him at home. It would not be possible without the support of his wonderful family.
since we have been using Helping at Home, their service and staff have been exceptional. The ladies who visit my mum, for a cuppa and to supervise her exercises, have been amazing. Kind and friendly, and really caring. The Office staff are On the Case, and happy to oblige when I need days changing due to my work. We have been lucky to find you, thanks

They work together with a "live in carer from another agency due to Mum's increasing needs.
All are very approachable and professional, they really "get it" regarding the stress of looking after someone
Thank you for your lovely feedback it is very much appreciated. Thank you for choosing Helping at Home for supporting Mum.
the carers he's had are very pleasant, friendly and effecient. Sometimes they are a little late but when here do what's needed and if finished early will help me with other household jobs which I'm very grateful. It's nice to have the following weeks rota.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Were so pleased you find our carers friendly and supportive, and that the rota helps with planning. Well continue working on improving punctuality, and we truly value your kind words and appreciation.

Meet the Team (3)

Courtney joined in 2024 and is the heart and soul of the business, as well as our CQC Registered Manager. That role is a regulated one: the Care Quality Commission holds her personally accountable for the safety and quality of the care we provide, and it is part of why we are rated Good.
She holds a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care, the qualification the regulator expects of a registered manager, and her formal training is matched by deep hands-on experience.
She is unflappable and calm under pressure, and she weighs the voices of our clients and their families in every decision she makes. Courtney oversees care planning, safeguarding, training and quality, and personally replies to the families who review us.

Megan has been with us since 2021, our third team member and one of the originals. We've supported her the whole way: from Carer to Care Co-ordinator, then Trainer, and now Deputy Manager.
Along that path she earned her NVQ Level 3 and Level 5 in adult care, both funded by Helping at Home, and as Deputy Manager she now helps lead the training and development of the carers who follow her.
She knows the work from the front line up, and we couldn't be prouder of how far she's come.

Charlotte joined in 2024 and is vastly experienced across both residential and home care, and she holds a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care. She has progressed from Carer to Care Co-ordinator and now forms a vital part of our leadership team.
Charlotte matches each client with their carers based on location, care needs and personality, and leads the introductions before care starts, so the first visit is a familiar face rather than a stranger at the door. She is deeply professional and genuinely empathetic, and we're glad to have her.
