The St Albans Home Help & Housekeeping team, here to help every step of the way
Ever noticed how household tasks seem to grow more challenging as we get older? We’re here to help make life a bit easier. Operating across St Albans, Harpenden, Radlett and surrounding villages, our home help service supports local people who want to keep living independently but could do with an extra pair of hands around the house. We’re rated ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC – putting us in the top 5% of care providers in England – and our clients value the fact that we take time to understand their individual routines and preferences. Each visit lasts at least an hour, giving us plenty of time to help with whatever needs doing that day.

Why Home Help & Housekeeping may be right for you
Our support goes beyond keeping things tidy – we keep an eye on the little things that make a big difference. We’ll notice if the post is piling up, check if medications are being taken, and make sure the bins go out on time. Every client has different routines and preferences, so we adapt our support to suit them. Whether it’s doing the weekly shop, preparing favourite meals, or helping to keep on top of household tasks, we work in a way that helps people feel comfortable and in control of their daily lives.
