When life’s events require extra help Assisting Hands® Home Care provides individualized services to people of all ages, in many situations.
What We Do
Home, tucked into their bed, is where everyone wants to be every night. So many do not realize how many people rely on someone else to do something that seems so simple like taking a shower. An unsupervised or unassisted shower for someone who has an impairment is a huge safety risk and could lead to a major injury.
At Assisting Hands® Home Care, we provide patients with essential non-medical services that assist them with their activities of daily living—like showering—and allow them to remain safe and Happy and at Home™, maintaining their quality of life and dignity.
We serve post-illness, post-operative patients in addition to individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia or other diseases such as Parkinson’s that limit one’s ability to take care of themselves.
Our services are not just for “older adults.” We provide care for any client in need of assistance. A 20-something recovering from a serious car accident, a 30-something who was diagnosed with cancer, a 40-something who had surgery to repair an old football injury and a 50- something who had a massive stroke are patients who could benefit from home care services.
Our compassionate home health aides, or professional caregivers, can visit patients for a few hours per day several times a week to overnight care or living with them 24 hours a day.
They often notice changes in patient status/condition and bring those to the attention of the family and our director of nursing, which helps avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital by taking care of a problem before it becomes an emergency.
We have strict protocols in place to protect our caregivers and patients so everyone stays as healthy as possible.
Professional caregivers enable many families to sleep well at night, knowing someone is with their loved one when they cannot be.
Alzheimer’s/Dementia
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s can be an extremely challenging experience for families. We believe in using a team approach that includes coordination with doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists and family members.
Post-Operative/Illness
Our comprehensive transitional care program helps ensure that you will remain safely and comfortably in your home when transitioning from a hospital or rehab after surgery or illness.
Aging In Place
Mom and dad want to stay in their home and not move into a facility. They want to remain in the home they’ve lived in for decades, continue to shop in local stores and socialize with their friends in the community. This is known as aging in place.
Veterans Care
As a Veteran, you may qualify for in-home care services. We are an approved provider for the VA. Ask your social worker if you may qualify for a home care benefit.
Agency vs. Direct
Hiring a home care agency can be nerve-wracking and often comes at an unexpected time. The entire Assisting Hands Home Care team is here to help you and answer any questions you may have. We have all used home care at some point for ourselves or our loved ones, so we can provide you with real answers to your questions.
Fall prevention
If you or your loved one is finding it difficult to complete everyday tasks like preparing food, standing, or getting out of bed, they can be a fall risk.
