About Helping Hands

Helping Hands Leicester provides care and support to people in their own homes across Leicester and Leicestershire. We work with older people and younger adults, with people living with dementia, with people managing mental health conditions and with people who have physical disabilities or a visual or hearing impairment. Most people who come to us are at a point where something has changed. A fall, a hospital stay, a diagnosis, or simply the gradual realisation that managing alone has become harder than it was. Visits are arranged around what each person actually needs, which might be help to get up and start the day, support with personal care and medication, assistance at mealtimes, or company and practical help that makes it possible to keep doing the ordinary things. We aim for consistency of carers wherever we can, because knowing who is coming through the door matters a great deal, and because familiar staff notice change early. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are glad to arrange an unhurried conversation before any decisions are made.
