At home.
On your terms.
Help to Live was founded by Debbie Prescott-Wiggins with a simple belief: everyone deserves support that protects their independence, dignity and way of life.
Our clients include younger adults, people living with disabilities or long-term conditions, people recovering after illness or surgery, and older adults who would simply like life to feel a little easier.
From changing the bedding and preparing meals to personal care, appointments and social outings, we shape each visit around the person—not the other way around.

Personal service with a smile
We’ve tried care companies before but they are frequently short on time, late or sometimes dont even turn up. None have been as warm and accommodating as Help to Live.
Debbie still pops in herself from time to time, and that says a lot.
Nothing is ever too much trouble
From helping with the housework like cleaning and changing the bed to picking up my prescriptions, the service is always tailored to exactly what I need.
They even bring me a fish and chips supper each week — such a lovely touch!
A real lifeline for Mum
Debbie and the team have been an incredible support to my mum in Penwortham. The service is so personal — nothing like the bigger care agencies.
It gives us real peace of mind knowing she's being looked after with such kindness, and she's keeping social attending her bridge games.
Flexible, helpful, and so kind
I’ve needed varying levels of support and they’ve adapted without any fuss.
Whether it’s a doctor’s appointment, changing the bedding, or taking me to the barbers for my monthly hot towel shave and haircut, they’re always happy to help.
After my knee surgery they were able to increase their visits to twice a day whilst I recovered ensuring I was washed, fed and watered until I was back up and running, mobile and safe. I am so grateful to have such a reliable team for support
Support we can trust
My father has been using Help to Live for over a year now after a bad fall and we’ve never looked back.
I live an hour away and have a young family so it really concerned me that my farther was starting to need more help than I was able to provide.
Debbie and her team are dependable, compassionate, and always go above and beyond. I know he's being taken to his appointments and he seems to eat better than i do!
Exactly the help I needed
I've been a client of Debbie's since 2018. As someone younger who values my independence, I really appreciate that Help to Live support me to keep doing things my way.
My disability means some of the general household chores are too difficult for me to do, so I have a weekly visit to change the bed, clean the house and empty the bins. Occasionally if I need additional support they are always really accommodating and nothing is too much trouble
