The staff and clients are amazing but the lack of compassion or professionalism from office and management ruins the whole business . As long as calls are covered the office staff do not care where they send the carers , so many miles between calls , and don’t care about continuity as long as the stats are looking good for management . From experience , the only thing holding this place together is the dedication fom the amazing kind carers . Peterborough branch

I approached Helping Hands to assist use with my farther who has onset Alzymers but insists he keeps his independence, struggling at the basics such as cooking cleaning general hygiene. The phone call was very friendly asking all the right questions, understanding and patient. Rashurd was very polite and friendly. Their system was explained in detail and arranged for a home visit to meet family and discuss a way forward with Helping hands. Very impressed so far.

An Efficient and Caring Service
My Wife has Alzheimer's and mobility problems. It takes 2 people to move her safely. Helping Hands send 4 carers each day to get her up and dressed, help with 2 walks per day and to get her ready for bed. They send an extra carer if I need to go out for sometime. The carers are clearly well trained and write a report on each visit to provide continuity. I have used them for well over a year and am entirely satisfied with their service.

My initial assessment from joining Assisting Hands Home Healthcare
After successfully completing & receiving the HHA (licenced by state of FL)in 2025, I joined Helping Hands Home Care in August 2026 as a home health care aide. I was welcomed warmly into a very welcoming staff. They have staff that assisted scheduling me from my phone as I checked the availability client list from the Philippians &India as it was after work hours in the US the very first week so that I was not out of work even the first week I signed on with them which I'm grateful & thankful for. The staff respect my religious standards, also.

Good company
Overall a good company albeit quite pricey.
The carers do their best and some are better than others and some go over and above to help.
Short staffing issues are unfortunate.
I would recommend them.

Helping Hands Ramsgate branch.. Exceptional service
Helping Hands Ramsgate branch..
Tracey, Gemma and their team are exceptional! we have used their services for two of our elderly friends who do not have relatives, the first occasion was to assist with a friend after a fall, for four months Helping Hands provided exemplary care assisting our friend with personal care in the mornings and evenings, professional friendly carers who engage and chat with their clients, and also deliver the service with dignity.
The second occasion was for an elderly gentleman with mid-Alzheimer's who was recently widowed, and needed help with medication and some meals, and more importantly some companionship. I can not recommend the Ramsgate team enough. Thank You

Great company with excellent customer service
So my grandmother was with another provider and they were not great so we changed to helping hands and they have been amazing. They come for an initial visit and follow up with a phone call. You get a rota the week before with who is coming and what time. They will call if the time needs to be changed or if the carer is running late.
I would highly recommend
