Assisting Hands

Specialties

At Assisting Hands we provide peace of mind to clients and their families. Our in-​home care assures them that loved ones can remain safe, comfortable and independent.

We serve seniors, people with special needs and those who require temporary assistance while they recuperate from an injury, hospitalization or surgery. Our senior clients are a diverse group ranging from those who are generally in good health but would like some companionship and help around the house, to those suffering from various chronic illnesses and those on Hospice.

In each of these cases our certified home health aides provide care that helps our clients remain safe, comfortable and as independent as possible. We do that in the place of residence – usually a private home, but also in group homes and medical facilities.

History

Established in 2013.

Assisting Hands® grew out of a desire to offer seniors and others needing assistance the option that most people prefer — to remain safe, comfortable and as independent as possible in their own homes. Assisting Hands® provides exceptional customer service and highly personalized in-​home care that enriches the lives of our clients and provides peace of mind for their families.

Our services support the individual’s choices and preferences in order to maintain their dignity and independence. We assist clients in a spirit of concern for their welfare, gaining satisfaction and a sense of pride from the care we provide.
