Home care in Lambeth
Visiting care and home care in Lambeth
Well known as the home of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the palace that bears the borough’s name, Lambeth is an area steeped in history. The area was first recorded in 1062 as ‘Lambehitha’ and in the Domesday Book as ‘Lanchei’, but by 1255 it was known as Lambeth. The historic names refer to a riverbank, quay, or harbour where lambs were shipped to and from, suggesting Lambeth’s importance as a place of trade.
Helping Hands have had a presence in nearby parts of London for decades so we thought we should explore Lambeth a bit more closely. We respect the history of the areas that we’re established in as we value our own, and although ours only began in 1989 we feel we have built up an expert knowledge of how best to care for people in their own homes. Our visiting and live-in care services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate Wales, so you and your loved ones can have absolute faith in our service.

Meet the Lambeth care team
Regional Care Director
As the Regional Care Director, it is my role to lead a hugely skilled care team operating in London, Essex and the South East, ensuring the highest levels of care are being delivered to our customers on a daily basis. We have a large branch network equipped to deal with all your hourly care needs, and I am also the Registered Manager with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for our live-in program, where we are set up to support you on a more permanent basis. I am inspired on a daily basis by the true lengths my colleagues go to, to ensure that customers can continue to live long, healthy lives from the comfort of their own homes. This is one of the main reasons that inspired me to join care.

Other care we provide
High quality home care in Lambeth
Our high-quality home care really is second to none, as we’ve spent decades getting to know how best to support people at home. We focus on keeping our customers as independent as possible in the home they love while supporting them with every aspect of their daily routine, such as housekeeping, personal care, medication management, and meal preparation. We also help our customers to enjoy their local community as they always have done, for instance accompanying them to appointments and activities, or just going out for coffee and cake.
24/7 live in care support
When you have someone living in your home with you, you may be concerned that it will feel awkward, but we can assure you that our live-in carers are chosen for their natural qualities of compassion, kindness, and diplomacy. They will understand when you’d rather be on your own for a while or when you’d prefer privacy with a friend or loved one, and they’ll never overstep boundaries or make you feel your home isn’t your own. Rather, they’ll enable you to remain living in the place that means the world to you, rather than having to move into residential care.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Lambeth
While care agencies have their place, we’ve never been one, preferring to offer our services to our customers as a fully regulated private home care company. This is important because it means that we can guarantee our exceptional service levels, such as assuring you there won’t be any hidden charges or unexpected fees such as you may get with a care agency. Most importantly though we employ all of our carers ourselves, rather than expecting them to be self-employed or leaving it up to our customers to organise.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Lambeth
Our carers are very special people as we’re careful to only employ those who share our ethos for delivering exceptional care, while keeping our customers as independent as they can be. This is only possible because we recruit and employ our own carers, rather than relying on an agency to do it for us. By managing our own recruitment, selection, and training processes ourselves we can be sure that we have the very best people working for us, and by encouraging them to learn and develop over time we know they’ll be motivated to stay and build a career with us.
