ABOUT NEWAYS HOME HELP
A friendly, family-run team, close to home
Neways Home Help was started by a local family who believe everyone deserves to live well in their own home, for as long as they wish.
We are not a nursing service and we are not medical. We are the kind neighbours who pop round to help with the everyday things that make life easier and brighter.
From a friendly chat over a cup of tea to a hand with the housework, we are proud to help people across Portland, Weymouth and the wider Dorset area.
Sometimes people need personal care rather than practical help. If that is the case, our sister service Neways at Home may be a better fit, and we are always happy to point you the right way.
OUR EVERYDAY HOME HELP
Everyday help, tailored to you
No two people need exactly the same help, so we shape our visits around you. Mix and match whatever suits, and change it whenever you like.

KIND WORDS
From the people we help
Real stories from families across Dorset.
They have given Mum her confidence back, and me real peace of mind. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
My helper feels like a friend now. I look forward to her visits all week.
Living an hour away, I worried about Dad constantly. Now a friendly face checks in, and it has changed everything.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Frequently asked questions
What is home help, and how is it different from home care?
Home help is friendly, practical support with everyday life, like the shopping, cooking, housework and good company. It is not personal or medical care. If you need help with things like washing or dressing, our sister service Neways at Home can help.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No, never. We do not tie you into anything. You can change or stop your visits whenever you need to.
Can I choose the days and times of my visits?
Yes. We shape your visits around your routine and what suits you best, and you can change them whenever you like.
Will I always see the same helper?
We do our very best to send the same friendly face each time, so you build a real, familiar relationship.
How much does home help cost?
Costs depend on the help you would like and how often. We keep our pricing simple and clear, with no hidden charges. Give us a call for a friendly, honest chat about costs.
Are your helpers checked?
Yes. Every helper is carefully chosen, background checked and fully insured. Your safety and peace of mind come first.
Is the home visit really free?
Yes, completely free and with no obligation. It is just a friendly chat about how we might help.
Can family arrange help on someone's behalf?
Absolutely. Many of our enquiries come from sons, daughters and relatives arranging help for a loved one. We are happy to speak with you directly.
