Meet the The East of England care team
Head of Live-in Care
I have worked in Care since 2008. I was initially attracted to this sector as I knew that every day I would do something which would enrich someone’s life. I love working with people and I get great satisfaction and a sense of achievement knowing that my efforts however small or large have made a difference to an individual or their family. Knowing that I have enabled someone to stay in a cherished home to their last day is a powerful influence for me to want to do this job. Quite often in care, we meet clients and families who are at crisis point and it is immensely rewarding knowing that I have the ability and knowledge to offer a solution to a crisis and give peace of mind to the clients and families we support. Outside of work I enjoy going to the gym and Spin classes are a favourite of mine. I also enjoy Rugby and love the friendly rivalry and atmosphere you get from the live sport. I enjoy cooking and prior to my career change into care my husband and I owned our own Bakery and Tea Room. This is one of my proudest achievements but also one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. We had to close our business due to serious health issues my husband suffered, but I knew from the interaction from our customers, some very elderly, that kindness and support go a long way to make someone happy.

How we can support you in the East of England
-
Whether you need full time live-in care, short-term respite, convalescence, planning for your long-term care, or you simply require just a single call per day, we will be able to work around your needs. Carers can live with your loved one in their own home, or visit as frequently as you need, from 30 minutes through to longer “sit-in” sessions that may take most of the day or even help during the night.
Helping Hands has been providing exceptional home care since 1989 and is still proudly family-owned and run. We are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and are committed to providing an unparalleled care service, ensuring we meet the highest possible standards of quality home care. Helping Hands live-in care packages are tailored personally to your care needs. We work with doctors, nurses and many private hospitals to deliver home care and housekeeping that meets your exact requirements.
We carefully match you with a fully-trained carer who will live with you in your home, supporting you with your day-to-day needs and even being on call overnight. Whether it’s helping with personal care, going to the toilet, help taking medication, housekeeping or moving round the house, many of our carers become a lifeline to our customers, enabling them to live the way they want every day.
If you have an acquired or progressive medical condition or have been recently injured and need support around the home, one of our nurse-led carers can give you the extra support you need. If your medical condition requires that you take medication in the middle of the night, one of our carers can be there to remind you to take it and help to administer it.
Most importantly, we carefully manage the entire process for you, from start to finish so you don’t have to!

Friendly, expertly-trained, qualified carers in the East of England
-
The idea of welcoming a new person into your home and life may seem a little daunting and unsettling at first. With a handpicked live-in carer, matched perfectly to you, your life can stay much the same as before. We walk you through each step of the way and place up most importance on matching you with someone you feel the most comfortable with and who understands your routines, likes and interests.
Before beginning their work with us, all our carers take part in an intensive training programme at our Centre of Excellence where they develop a wide knowledge of personal care through to complex condition-led care. But the training does not stop there. Every Helping Hands carer takes part in ongoing training to boost their knowledge and experience across a wide range of areas, from dementia care to complex care requirements. All Helping Hands carers are DBS checked and trained to help you or your loved one remain independent in their home, whilst giving you the level of live-in care that you require.
