Excellent care for my mum, helping hands go above and beyond. Will always accommodate and help support. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Superb care company. Always on time, stay for the full time they are supposed to. Really do care about my mum.

I cannot recommend Helping Hands highly enough. Every single member of staff shows care, compassion and empathy. They frequently go over and above with the care that they provide for my father who has dementia. They are my rock, lifeline and support during these difficult times with my father. They
have truly become like family to us and l thank and greatly appreciate each and every one of them.

We have used helping hands, for my mum who had Dementia, the care was superb. So when my Dad needed help they were our first choice,
Dad, is really happy, with the care they give. So a happy Dad, a happy family.

At the start of the care plan, the service I received was great and around 18 months later it started to go downhill. The care from some of the carers was very good and some weren't. I was also given conflicting information about offering other help which was not nice (by the office). The manager at
the time I was forced to transfer to another care company by Helping Hands Allcare was really horrible to deal with. I will not recommend this care company to anyone in the future as they were a really good company in the past.

We take all our feedback very seriously. Unfortunately, there are times when a person's needs or situation changes and they can no longer be safely supported, despite all efforts.
We wish you all the very best.

My carers are mostly happy and chatty. They come regularly at lunch time. I'm very pleased to see them and would recommend them to others who need help.

The carers come at more or less expected times. They are uncomplaining and cheerful and cope well with any unexpected contingencies.

My helping hand carer is such a kind lady. She helps me by changing beds, hoovering the flat, cleaning kitchen i.e tops, tiles, washes the floor, cleans the windows and is always ready to pick up the odd item from shop on her way to us. My partner and I appreciate her help, she is a real friend and
always lifts our spirits if we are feeling a little down. We have also had other carers visit if our lady is on her holiday and they are just as willing to help us and are very nice ladies too. We feel very lucky to have found Helping Hands Allcare Ltd a local agency here on Hayling Island.

Helping Hands provide me and my partner with a take a break service for me (full time carer) two days a week for three hours each day. I sometimes need to cancel and change my hours and Helping Hands are always willing to do this and where possible keep to the same two carers who attend as my partner
feels more comfortable with people he knows. Both carers who attend are both friendly, courteous and take time to chat to both myself and my partner before leaving, having chatted with my partner whilst here about topics he enjoys. The one bad point being is one of the carers is always running late but otherwise provide an excellent service which I am most grateful for.

I have 9 hours per week, 3 hours covered regularly by one carer and six by another. Very different in efficiency and approval. The only change for odd holidays as other causes, which is good. The replacement are generally mature and helpful capable of using their initiative. The agency keeps us informed
about pay alterations or anything else affecting us. The office is generally receptive and helpful when telephoned and always return calls when asked. I have never been left without care unless by agreement i.e Xmas by and large I am happy with what I get.

I have received help with showering and dressing for over three years. My carers are always polite and helpful and I recommend them.

Helping Hands is the only care company to be based on Hayling Island allowing it to deliver a more efficient and faster responding service that if it was based on the mainland. The company has provided personal care twice a day and regular sitting services for my mother since November 2014. Throughout
this time a designated team of carers have given a professional, polite and very caring service to assist myself in looking after my mother in our home. In addition the office staff who can be easily contacted are very efficient and helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.000) out of 10 for Helping Hands Allcare Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Helping Hands Allcare Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (18 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 18 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Helping Hands Allcare Ltd is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
