History

Established in 1996.

Assisting Hands Home Care® grew out of a desire to provide seniors, and others needing non-​medical assistance at home, with the option that most people prefer — to remain independent, safe and comfortable in their own homes. Assisting Hands® is a home care franchise company that emphasizes exceptional customer service and highly personalized in-​home care to meet the needs of our clients.

One of the founders of Assisting Hands Home Care® is Dr. Gail Silverstein, who has more than 25 years of experience coordinating and leading health care programs in both the public and private sector. It was Gail’s understanding of the health care industry, along with the personal experience of trying to find assistance for her father at home, that led her to realize there was a serious gap in services. She joined with Cline Waddell of Boise, Idaho to establish Assisting Hands® Home Care.
