My mum has been diagnosed with dementia and latterly with a terminal disease. It has left her very confused at times but at other times she is fully aware of where she is and can get very upset about small changes. We have engaged Helping Hands to help ensure that medication is administered and that
help and companionship is available.
They have been very flexible with changing needs and undertake various tasks to allow her to stay in her own home.

The Ferndown Team have been so caring and supportive for my father and their dedication and allowed him to stay in his own home for 3 years. They showed great flexibility and initiative in problem solving. He received the highest level of care and company during this time and we are so grateful for
everything they have done.

Super team. Always willing to help and are very much appreciated. Timekeeping is magic; how they keep to their allotted schedule is amazing.
The management behind the scenes is fantastic in every way if help is needed.

Over the last couple of years, Dad's health deteriorated with an increasing number of hospital admissions. Helping Hands were great. The carers lived up to their title - they truly cared & the management team at Ferndown were brilliant - nothing was ever too much.
We all hope we'll never need care,
but if you do, I'd recommend HH Ferndown.

My elderly mother passed away mid December 2024. I have nothing but praise for all mums carers and and Ferndown management team. They all went out of their way to look after her and keep her happy, especially in the last few months of her life. She so looked forward to their visits. Visits were
often arranged last minute and with no problems. The team who took care of her on the evening/night mum passed away stayed to keep me company, ensuring I wasn't on my own until the following morning.
Thank you to everyone at Helping Hands Home Care. Always someone to care.

My mum gets good care from Helping Hands overall. Although more mature carers seem to give a better service and show more care than the young ones. I think more training is needed for younger, new carers. I am an ex-manager/trainer in retail and know your staff are only as good as their training!
Also, think that there are times when my mother doesn't get her full 45 minutes care! Which is not good! (My mother has Alzheimer's disease).

We have had a number of carers over time. They have always been timely, courteous and mindful of our changing needs, especially over the period of the pandemic, as we were shielding. They have responded well to occasional changes to our schedule.

My mother finds the carers extremely friendly and helpful. They do exactly what asked to do, and often she does not need to ask them what to do as they use their own initiative.

A friendly service with regular carers (as far as possible). Local office aways willing to change work days and times, providing notice is given.
I have experience of an alternative caring company, thus mental comparisons could be made.

I already have recommended Helping Hands to two sets of neighbours. I am happy with the care I receive. They arrive on time are kind and helpful. I enjoy a variety of carers during the weeks as the differences in interests and family life are also interesting for me. They are always very pleasant,
helpful and professional. I do have to phone up to ask who is coming the following week and what time as I prefer to know in advance.

The service is good, but all we require is ironing and general cleaning (dusting, hovering), so our experience is rather limited.
