Had been looking for home care for a while for my mother and now I'm kicking myself for not calling sooner. They have been wonderful to work with and offer elder care at an affordable rate.

Maria has been absolutely wonderful. Mrs. Vanae Flake is the owner and she made sure to set us up with someone that fit my mother’s personality. Maria is always so patient and understanding. She is very responsible and listens to our suggestions. She does her best and isn’t afraid to ask questions or advice. Thank you for the wonderful work!

Read and VaNae make a great team - owners that share the desire to provide the best possible care, and are willing to go the extra mile. I recommend Assisting Hands of Pearland and would trust them to care for my friends and family.

Have been using them for about a month. As with anything having to do with people, it takes time to get the personalities between the caregivers and patient to match, and VaNae is willing to work throught those issues until the right caregivers are placed. In particular, Nicole, Eva, Jay, Amanda, and Melissa have been very good, with Nicole really taking the lead in making sure my mother is cared for in the best possible way.

We have enjoyed our care taker, Rebecca Roofner, for the past year. She is willing to work on Saturdays and this year she will be working on Christmas day as well. We look forward to her visits, and know we can always count on her.

Our care taker, Rebecca is very attentive and kind to all our needs. She goes over and beyond with taking us regularly into Houston for doctor appointments as well as funerals and family visits in Katy. We have had her for about a year now. She's the only one who can transfer me as well.

In Oct. of 2018 I had been the 24/7 caregiver for my husband for over 2 years. I didn't have any help so I did the same thing most caregivers do which was neglecting my own health. So I started searching for professional respite caregivers. I am so grateful that my search led me to VaNae Flake, owner of Assisting Hands Home Care of Pearland. She was very professional and helpful as well as friendly and I decided to use her company for our respite needs. Not too long after I signed up with them I became extremely sick and had to be rushed to the hospital. I knew that normally to get someone to come out for respite care the company needs at least a little notice but this was an emergency situation. My family called Assisting hands and let them know what was going on and they said they would take care of it. I was so touched when I found out that VaNae herself came to my home and stayed for 24 hours while she was setting up the schedule for her staff for around the clock care for the next week. My daughters were spending most of their time with me then going to my house to stay. They could not say enough nice things about VaNae and her staff and the wonderful care they were giving my husband as well as taking care of things around the house. They cooked meals for him, cleaned, did laundry and still remained friendly and attentive to my husband's needs. I am so grateful.If you are looking for respite care for your loved one I can tell you that you will be very happy with the care they receive from VaNae and her staff.

I have used the service since may 2017. Read and Vanea come to your home for an initial consultation. They are very warm and inviting. After going over all the material I know Assisting Hands was the right company. There are monthly review and the caregiver Rebecca follows a checklist that is given. She always ask is there anything more she could do. If I need anything Read and NaNae are a phone call away.

Working with Assisting Hands for my mom was amazing. From the setup with VaNae through the daily text check-ins with Christy, they couldn't have been more supportive. We had my mom on 24/7 care for about a month. They worked with us to try to have a consistent schedule of ladies coming to help. All of them were great to work with. A few stood out to us like Brandi H - she is a hard worker and made sure my mom was well taken care of. Necole and Aleisha were also wonderful. They are both very caring and family-oriented and treated my mom like their own. Paul S was the night shift favorite - she is very sweet and took great care of my mom. We would definitely use Assisting Hands again when the need arises and highly recommend them to anyone needing caregiver services!

We use Assisting Hands Pearland to help with the care of my mother. She is disabled and they take care of her with patience, kindness and consideration. All of her caregivers go above and beyond to make sure that my mother's needs are met. My mom loves them all! I'm pretty sure that if she could, she'd adopt Amanda!

Great folks, exceeded my expectations. The owners, Read and VaNae Flake, were easy to work with, caring, and responsive. I needed caregivers for my husband, who has Alzheimer's, and both Drewkala and Tiffany were so good with him. I highly recommend Assisting Hands of Pearland.

Amanda, our care giver, has been coming to the house for several weeks now and we are very pleased with her professionalism, training and just "good ole girl" attitude. She has been a god send to use by giving me some time off to do shopping, seeing doctors, and doing other task. Wish we had called Assisting Hands much earlier. Thanks for being their for us.

We have recently needed assistance with my father who has dementia/Alzheimer’s. This has been a difficult trying time for us as a family and we were sent a angel to assist us. Analisa Martinez our sweet angel has been kind and compassionate with my father and has given us so much help and we appreciate her very much. We have all gotten to know each other and have created a lifelong friendship. We are thankful for Assisting Hands for sending us and finding a perfect fit w/ Analisa for my father at this very difficult time.

I can't say enough about how focused on care the Assisting Hands of Pearland staff is. I was so impressed the VaNae came to the hospital before my mom was released to be sure of exactly the care mom needed to continue her recovery from her broken hip. Mom's care giver, Rebecca, has done an amazing job of caring for mom and making her comfortable and safe. She has a sweet nick name for her and is a joy to have in our home. She is also good about getting Mom to take her meds and other little chores. Thumbs up to this great team of care givers!

We have been using Assisting Hands for 5 months and they are AWESOME. Our care giver, Rebecca, is fabulous! She's so caring and professional. She arrives early so we don't every wonder if we've got help that day. She has helped mom feel safe and comfortable while I'm away from the home. It's a blessing to know mom is well cared for and that a some of her housekeeping needs are being done while I'm gone. LOVE this company and Rebecca!

I'm very thankful that this company was,willing to work with our family & do 24 hr home care with us. The State regulations plus finding care givers willing to stay overnight & work the 24 hr state program was not an easy task. But they managed to accomplish it with caring, patient, & kind caregivers. I want to thank Ms. Venae who would fill in anytime she need to. Thanks to Aida Sosa & Kari Jones for being patient in working & teaching my Mother to learn to use her arm & leg again. No matter how much she would resist they would keep at it, backing up what therapist were giving us to do on a daily basis. Thank you for being there for us! I highly recommend this company of caring & giving people.

I cannot possibly say enough wonderful things about the owners of this business. They are fabulous, caring, people who will bend over backwards to help others because they are good citizens and true Christians. My assigned caregiver, Miney, was a hard worker who was eager to please and willing to do anything I asked. In fact, she wanted more to do! You cannot go wrong using Assisting Hands of Pearland!
