About us
A Decade of Dignified, Personalised Support.
Help to Live was established by Debbie Prescott-Wiggins over ten years ago, inspired by a passion for helping others maintain independence in their own homes. What began as a simple home help service has evolved, driven by client demand and Debbie’s commitment to going above and beyond.
Unlike traditional care companies, we’re not limited by rigid frameworks and an overstretched care system which usually results in a really poor experience. Our support is tailored, flexible, and built around you. From personal care to household chores and even social outings, we do what’s needed — when it’s needed — with a smile.
Despite our growth, we remain small enough to care. Debbie is still hands-on and actively involved in the daily tasks, ensuring our standards remain as high today as they were on day one. One of the reasons we are trusted by so many.
What do our clients say?
Don't just take our word for it, below is a small selection of testimonials from our clients. Many of whom have been clients for many years.
"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."
— Anne and David W.

"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!"
— Jean S.

"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."
— Harry T.
Penwortham
"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 hes being taken to his appointments and he seems to eat better than i do!"
— Karen J.

"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"
