See what’s guaranteed with your care:

Round-the-clock care

Because your live-in carer will always be in your home, they can support you at any time in whatever way you require. This also offers valuable peace of mind to your loved ones.

A personalised care plan

If you’re living with a complex medical condition, a live-in carer will get to know your needs and preferences so that they can offer the right type of support for your condition.

One-to-one support

Unlike a care home, live-in care provides you with one-to-one support from your own personal carer, so you really do get so much more support for your money.

Your independence, supported

One of the main benefits of a live-in carer is that they can support you to keep living life at your own pace and on your terms, including eating meals and going to bed when you like.

A fully managed service

Your care will be managed by your local Helping Hands branch, meaning you’re guaranteed a great carer, all-inclusive pricing and the support of your local care manager.

Regulation at every stage

Every aspect of your support plan will be independently regulated and monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), ensuring we always adhere to care industry standards.
