Review from Susan R (Daughter of Client) published on 12 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We used Helping Hands for the first time to oversee our mother whilst on holiday recently. Mam is 95 and still lives independently. She had 3 visits in the time we were away and on our return we were delighted to hear how impressed Mam was with the service. She admitted she had been apprehensive to
having more new faces coming through the door but she needed not to worry. The girls were pleasant, friendly and so obliging. I contacted Helping Hands to complement as unfortunately these days there is too much negativity.


A very positive experience for Mam and would highly recommend.

We are supported by a great team at Helping Hands.
From our initial phone call with the manager, we felt welcome and that our needs were listened to.
When the manager came out to visit us at home we felt reassured that the care we received would meet our individual requirements.
The care and attention
taken to ensure the details that are important to us were/are included in the care provided again by a brilliant team of care workers has given us the confidence and support to help us through a really difficult time.
As a partner of someone with Dementia, I feel grateful and lucky to be involved by such a caring and professional team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I honestly cannot rate Helping Hands (Gateshead) highly enough. I live away from my mum and have needed help over the past few months to provide her with support and companionship. Every person I have dealt with has been caring, reliable, efficient and keen to ensure that my mum's needs are taken care
of. They are extremely thoughtful and the main carer who visits my mum is nothing short of an angel! They have a lovely bond and the team tries their best to enable her to visit when possible.
With me living away it has been a very stressful time for me, to ensure that Mum has regular and reliable support and care. I have found that no request is too small or large for the team which puts my mind at ease. They treat Mum with the utmost respect, care and dignity and she looks forward to their visits and little trips out!
Helping Hands are my eyes on the ground and they have spotted things and fixed them before they became big issues. The office support is amazing too.
Thanks so much!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have used HH Gateshead for nearly 2 years and have been impressed by the level of service. Inevitably things don’t always gone to plan but the way in which situations were rectified has been whats important.
Our requests are always met with the same enthusiastic response, and then carried out by
diligent & caring staff.
Even out of hours complex requests handled with aplomb.
‘Above & beyond’ is what springs to mind.
On behalf of our Dad, thanks a million.

Our mum has dementia and we used Helping Hands for home care and also extra support when our mum moved into assisted living. All I can say is they were absolutely amazing! They supported me and my sister throughout the whole time we used them, they were always there to advise and help us on the phone
and direct us to places we could find more help/information when needed. My mum loved all the carers, they spent so much time getting to know her and we always knew she was in safe hands. We would highly recommend the whole team at Helping Hands!
