Home care in Wickford
Visiting care and home care in Wickford
Wickford is based in South Essex and the name means ‘a sheep farm on a river crossing’. This is because the town is surrounded by two rivers, the River Crouch and another flowing at the south of River Crouch. It is home to Tollesbury Wick Nature Reserve, which boasts a diverse range of wildlife, including Clouded Yellow butterflies, Brent Geese and Marsh Harriers. The coastal views from the reservoir are truly majestic too.
What’s more, Wickford houses our customers who continue to live independent lives in the comfort of their homes and get to enjoy the stunning outdoors of Wickford, thanks to our compassionate carers. Whether you need support at home, going to appointments or walking the dog, we have you covered. Plus, we are also monitored and regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales, so you know you’ll receive the very best care.

Meet the Wickford care team
Branch Care Manager
I joined the care industry around nine years ago, not knowing that it would become a career and a job that I love. I spend a lot of time out in the community visiting customers and potential customers, and assessing our staff to ensure they are always delivering the best care. I spend time with the branch staff looking into ways to better the service and celebrate all the good work that our carers do. I think that Helping Hands are a brilliant company to work for, they have many benefits for their staff, and support networks for staff and customers throughout their journeys with the company. I have recently become a Mum for the first time so like to spend my free time with my son and doing things with him. I enjoy reading and learning and like to think I am generally a person who looks at life positively.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Wickford
At Helping Hands we have been providing care as a private home care company since 1989. We have never worked as a care agency. That’s because we directly employ our carers and they are fully trained by us. We want to ensure that we employ the right people to care for you; after all, you are our priority. Plus, we will be upfront about service and prices, so you won’t be faced with any hidden costs or referral fees.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Wickford
Our expertly trained carers are the backbone of the company and they are the reason why we are the UK’s leading home care provider. They make a huge difference and allow customers to live life the way they like. We understand it can be daunting having someone new come to your doorstep, which is why all our carers undergo a strict background check. So, rest assured, you’ll be in safe hands.
