Helping Hands Team

Helping Hands Team is a home care agency based in Newark, in the Nottinghamshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Newark 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 mental health needs. It is run by Mrs Tammy Ann Bunyan. The agency has been registered since August 2016.

At its latest inspection, published February 2020, the CQC rated Helping Hands Team Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Helping Hands Team has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Nottinghamshire with a rate on record typically charge about £27 an hour and £1,663 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.

There are 193 registered home care agencies in Nottinghamshire. Others working the same area include Exemplar Homecare Limited, Home Instead Mansfield and Leda Homecare, 5 of which have a rate on record. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care typically about £1,120 a week across England.
