About Helping Hands at Home

Support starts with the person.

Home is more than a place. It’s your routines, your memories and the things you like to do your own way. Our approach to home help and companionship starts there.

Why home matters

A helping hand. Not a different way of life.

At A Helping Hands at Home offers home help and companionship for older adults in Dereham and surrounding villages. The focus is on making everyday life a little easier while respecting the comfort of familiar surroundings.

Asking for support can be a big step, whether you’re looking for yourself or someone you love. We believe that conversation should begin with what matters to you, rather than assumptions about what you need.

The approach behind our support

Listen before making plans

Your interests, preferences and priorities are the starting point. There’s room to talk about what you enjoy and where a little help might make a difference.

Respect your choices

Support should work alongside your independence, not take its place. Your home and your routines deserve consideration and respect.

Keep things clear

Before making arrangements, talk through the help you’re looking for, availability, visit lengths and costs. It’s important to understand what is available and whether it feels right for you.

Getting to know you

You don’t need to have all the answers.

A first conversation is a chance to share a little about your situation and ask questions about home help and companionship. If you’re calling for a relative or friend, their wishes are a good place to begin.
