The carers have been so professional and empathetic towards my dad. He wasn't happy about strangers coming into his home but he very quickly realised how fantastic they are. He calls them his angels. We as a family are also very happy with their treatment of our dad and he always takes his medication for them easily with no fuss. Thank you
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so grateful that we have been able to care for dad, he is certainly a character.
Very pleased with our care provider. We are comfortable with all the carers we have had. They are very professional in their attention to my wife, friendly, efficient and very competent in their tasks. The office staff also rate the same as the carers. I find the weekly program email a great help.

We're very happy with the service provided by helping at home. The carers are punctual and diligent. Nothing is to much trouble for them. It's important for my parents to know who is coming to see them, and they stick very closely to the times. This isn't something all care providers can do. They also provide cleaning services - the house is spotless.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We feel truly blessed to support your parents and help ensure theyre safe and well at home.

Helping at Home was recommended to us by two separate close friends, who both use their services for the care of their Mums. It was a very difficult decision for us, as we have been caring for Mum and this felt that we were letting Mum down. However, having taken that step, Helping at Home and the carers have made this so much better than we could have hoped for. Mum's carer has been exceptional, so kind, thoughtful and nothing appears to be too much trouble. After only a month, they have built up a close bond, for which we are eternally grateful. It has given us confidence that when we are not able to be there, Mum is in very safe hands. We would have no hesitation, whatsoever, in recommending Helping at Home - THANK YOU.

All of the carers are exceptional in their attitude and the professional way they care for my wife.

Helping at Home have provided great support, from when we first contacted them. They have provided flexible care for my mother, and have responded quickly to all requests for changes to services. The carers are exactly that, they seem to genuinely care about my mother's wellbeing and are quick to alert us to any issues. The reports on the app are very helpful, allowing us to respond to anything she needs. We have recommended Helping at Home to friends.

Home visits are undertaken in a timely manner and channels of communication good. The carers also ensure that the care being delivered to my father is always of a high standard.
The team not only provides support to my father but also to my mother who is the main carer.
Nothing is "too much trouble" and they always go the extra mile!
Thank you.
Would highly recommend the service.
Weekly rota is sent so we know who is coming so we can prepare our daughter.

I'd struggled to find a care agency who would cover the rural areas outside Newark, and feel that we were beyond lucky to find Helping at Home. From the very first meeting, and during every visit, they treated my mum with kindness and patience. They took on board every request and were really flexible around changing visit times when required. The reports written on the app after every visit allowed me an insight into Mum's regime and were a comfort to me, as I live in a different part of the country. I cannot recommend the team highly enough.
Thank you for taking the time to post the review. We wish you and the family all the best.

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.
