About Helping Hands

We are Helping Hands in Gloucester, and we provide care in people's own homes across the city and the villages around it. Everything we do starts from the same principle, which is that home is where most people would rather be, and that with the right support a great many can stay there far longer than they expect. Our visits are arranged around each person rather than a standard timetable. For some that means a short call in the morning to help with getting up, washing and dressing, and a call at night to settle down. For others it is longer support through the day, help with meals and medication, a hand with shopping and the housework, or company on a trip out. We look after older people, younger adults, and anyone whose physical disability, sight loss or hearing loss makes daily tasks harder than they should be. We also support people living with dementia and the families around them. Familiarity counts for a great deal in that situation, so we try to send the same carers each time and to write down what works, so that nobody has to explain themselves twice. If you are weighing up care at home for yourself or a relative in Gloucester, talk to us. We will be straightforward about what we can do, what it would cost and how soon we could start.
