Helping Hands Luton

Helping Hands Luton is a home care agency based in Luton, in the Central Bedfordshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Luton office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. It is part of Midshires Care, which has 150 branches in England. The agency has been registered since March 2024.

Helping Hands Luton has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

Helping Hands Luton has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Central Bedfordshire with a rate on record typically charge about £26.90 an hour and £1,400 a week for live-in care, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.
