Throughout May, Helping Hands Home Care celebrated the company’s 30th birthday. The family-run company has been providing quality care for three decades and celebrated with the help of two of the company’s longest standing customers.

To commemorate this milestone, Chairman Tim Lee visited Julie and Jean, two customers who have collectively received care from Helping Hands for nearly 40 years.

Jean, a Helping Hands customer for 23 years, and Julie who has received both live-in and visiting care over the past 16 years was visited by Tim, Area Manager Joanne Broderick and their respective visiting carers. Mandy Baylis has been supporting Julie for the full 16 years that she has been with Helping Hands and said: “It’s been an absolute pleasure looking after Julie all these years. She’s a wonderful lady and we have a great relationship. “Our visits are more like a catch up between old friends than care.

I see first-hand the benefit she feels by having someone there to support her; it means the world to her that she can be independent at home.” Tim Lee said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to be celebrating our 30th year and I am so proud that we are now considered one of the nation’s leading providers in home care.” Later this year, the company will open its one hundredth branch, enabling even more people to remain in the comforts of their own home – regardless of age, disability or geographical area. Tim concluded: “It’s a fantastic achievement and we couldn’t think of a more fitting way to mark this special year by spending time with two of our most loyal customers.”

Helping Hands, now going in to its thirty first year is able to provide both live-in and visiting support across Lancashire, and the management team in the area will be very happy to support you.
