About us

ARC Help@Home is a Manx business, owned and managed by Paul Titcomb (Physiotherapist) and Mandy Chadwick (Nurse/Ergonomist). Both Paul and Mandy are leading UK experts in Safe Patient Handling, with Mandy specialising in compliance and Paul specialising in assessments and equipment provision.

The ARC Help@Home center has been designed to provide a One Stop Shop when it comes to independent living equipment, training and assessments. Our shop sells a wide range of useful gadgets as well as selling or hiring out large items of equipment such as beds, riser chairs and wheelchairs etc.

Our Handyman and Service Engineering department is on hand to help with small jobs around the house as well as installing and servicing items such as beds, hoists and bathing aids. ARC Learning is Help@Home’s training department, providing health and social care courses across the island including accredited First Aid and Mental Health and Wellbeing courses.

Our Care@Home* service provides carers for those who need some extra support to remain in their own home. Staff are fully trained by our in-house registered healthcare professionals and receive supervision and monitoring from our Practice Development Officer, so our clients can always be sure of a high standard of care. *Care@Home is registered with the IOM Registrations and Inspections Unit.
