Visiting care and home care in Durham

In the north east of England lies Durham; a city that is home to historical architecture and a catalogue of famous faces. With Durham University alumni including TV broadcaster Jeremy Vine and writer Bill Bryson, the city is now home to a branch of one of the leading home care agencies in the UK – Helping Hands.

From 30 minute weekly visits to full-time live-in care, our home care team are on hand to help with all levels of care with a package tailored to you. With a flexible package that can change as your needs so, along with a dedication to a person-centred approach to care, you can feel in control as you receive support within the comfort of your own home.

Quality care at home

From short term support to longer term visits and live-in care, our Durham team can help.

We've been caring for people for decades, helping them maintain their independence and continue to live well in the homes and communities they love.

Branches nationwide

Over 155 branches across the UK means we're local to you.

Fully regulated

Regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, giving you peace of mind that we meet the highest standards of service and care.

Rated Excellent on Trustpilot

Thousands of our customers have shared their experiences of care with us on customer review site Trustpilot with Helping Hands rated 4.7 out of 5.

Handpicked carers

We only employ those special people with the right levels of patience, empathy, and compassion to care for you as we'd want our own families to be cared for.

Care that's tailored to you

We know that good care means something different to each of us. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your family to understand your needs and preferences.

Supporting families

When finding care becomes a decision for the wider family, we can help you consider your options. We keep in touch once care is in place so we can adapt care as needs change.
