I am so pleased that I trusted my fathers care to Helping Hands. I had felt that no one could care for him in the way that I did but it was becoming too much for me as his care needs increased and I had a job and a family to care for. I was proven wrong by the excellent care that Helping Hands
provided.
The care plan that was set up covered everything that I needed it to and the suggestions that were made for how to implement it were excellent. The carers always turned up, were rarely outside of the designated time slot and performed their duties with care, consideration and genuine warmth. My dad grew very fond of some of them and established friendly relationships with the ones he saw most often.
If I had queries or needed to change the care needs at all I had only to email or telephone and these were responded to quickly and positively.
I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Helping Hands.

Very friendly team with very efficient staff. The team at Helping Hands enabled my mother to stay in her own home. They attended to her needs, whilst enabling her to keep her independence as long as possible.
05 February 2026
Very efficient organisation who sent us carers who understood our needs. Every effort was made to care how my wife wanted and this worked very well. Once the carer was understanding of my wife's needs they soon had her sorted out. Overall the carers did well.

My Husband has had Care from Helping Hands for over 3years now. The ladies that come to him are always kind, considerate and fun for him. This is I am able to go to work 3days a week. he office staff if I have to contact them are always helpful especially April the Manager.
27 January 2026
Overall we are very happy with the service and staff of the Company. Every carer that has attended has been very helpful, understanding of the situation and performs all tasks with a friendly and sincere smile.

I recently took on Helping Hands for my elderly mother to help with general cleaning of her home. April who I met was very helpful and ran through everything that was available to my mum and how it all worked. Donna started the following week. Mum really liked her and she did a great job taking on
the harder work that my mum can no longer do very well. She now looks forward to her visits.

Helping Hands carers have always provided excellent support, They have covered all the visits required to enable my mother in law to remain independent. The regular reviews are a very useful way to ensure the gradually increasing needs are promptly and properly met. Highly recommend from all of us.
09 April 2025
Generally speaking our experience is very positive. My husband loves his regular carers and they are always polite and respectful to me too. The only problems occur when we need relief carers and often we just manage on our own then.
02 April 2025
Helping Hands are a professional team of carers. The office team work exceptionally hard to ensure demands are met from clients, always accommodating with flexibility and last minute changes to care plans. They listen, and they actually do care.
Mum felt well looked after, and so did I as mums
primary carer. I needed the support and Helping Hands endeavoured to provide it.
The process was easy to manage, making short notice changes and providing extra care sessions stress-free to arrange.
Helping Hands offered me a little peace of mind when I desperately needed that respite.
I can't thank the team enough and would highly recommend the company if you are looking for reliable and trustworthy carers with excellent communication.
02 April 2025
Helping Hands has offered us a fantastic balance of support and independence. The communication has been honest and supportive, allowing us to build a plan that gives dad everything he needs and a routine that really works for him. We really appreciate being part of the Helping Hands family.
25 March 2025
I found a caring positive group of careers who helped Mum. Very grateful to those who supported us which included the office staff. I found that talking with them we could work together to achieve and meet Mums needs. As a service user under times of stress there was always support & understanding.
Very pleased & grateful to have found Helping Hands.

My sisters and I are extremely happy with the service provided by the carers and more importantly so is our Mother.
They are always on time and get on with the duties that are asked of them. They are very polite, friendly, professional, carry out an excellent job and also use their initiative if
they see something needs addressing.
We all feel very confident and reassured that our mother is getting the help she needs to allow her to stay in her own home and know that if needed in the future we can increase the carers input knowing they'll provide a sensitive, caring and professional service.

The carers from Helping Hands Home Care (Harlow) were reactive and sensitive in dealing with my Mother whose dementia has been deepening. Everyone was always kind and arrived on time which helped my sister and I make plans for activities with Mum. Requests for changes in care plan were quickly and
easily initiated. As the dementia progresses we have had to constantly move with it so changes were regular.
Overall a really good provider.

Helping Hands Harlow are invaluable to me in caring for my elderly parents. I am kept informed by the team which go out of their way to be helpful and build positive relationships with myself and my parents. My parents have daily visits and importantly, they really like and appreciate the help they
receive. I feel so supported by the Helping Hands team as I live such a long distance away from my parents. Thank you!
03 December 2024
Really grateful for all the input from the agency just before my brother went into a care home. They were amazing and went over and beyond what help and support was needed at the time. Thank you so much. Can't recommend Helping Hands Home Care highly enough.
31 August 2023
I can not praise Helping Hands highly enough for the care and support my mum has received over the last year. They have made it possible for her to stay in her own home for longer. They have always treated Mum as an individual and shown interest in the stories of her younger life. The daily reports
were very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helping Hands to anyone in need of some support in their home.
26 April 2023
With the assistance of Helping Hands carers, my parents have been able to continue living in their own home as independently as possible.
The carers work to a comprehensive care plan, guiding and supporting whenever they can, but stepping in and taking charge when needed. I have met a number of
the team and they have all been: friendly, polite, caring and professional. The Branch Care Manager and office staff are readily available to discuss any issues, whether raised by the family, or noted by the carers. If carers have noted a welfare concern, the office will make contact promptly to agree next steps, involving external agencies if necessary. The care package has been invaluable to my parents for personal care, meals and other domestic tasks. It is also very reassuring for the family to know that there will be a daily welfare check, especially on days when we cannot visit ourselves. Thank you Helping Hands!

I would like to say how fantastic all the carers from Helping Hands have been. They are kind, caring and reliable. The carers who have helped look after my Mum and Dad have been absolutely lovely and the help and support they have provided has been invaluable and is very much appreciated. I wish
that other families in need of care could have access to the same standard of high-quality care that Helping Hands provides. I would definitely recommend them to others.
16 December 2022
I've been looked after by quite a few care agencies, but Helping Hands is the best by a long way. Carers turn up on time every day. The organisation is run very smoothly and professionally. Care plans are in place and kept to. One of the two things I like the most is that they seem to have
bulletproof reliability. The other thing I love about Helping Hands is the quality of their carers. They are friendly, kind and helpful and are able to help me with personal care leaving my dignity intact. Helping Hands are the best of the best!

Sadly Mum only used Helping Hands services for a short time as she decided to move to a care home but during the few weeks she found the carers to be very kind, punctual and flexible in their approach. They would cook her the food she wanted and carry out tasks in the kitchen. They also watered her
hanging baskets. One day Mum decided she didn't want any tasks undertaken so the carer sat and chatted to her. I would recommend Helping Hands.
