Helping Hands Topsham

Helping Hands Topsham is a home care agency based in Exeter, in the Devon 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 Exeter 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 September 2024.

Helping Hands Topsham 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.
