Client Reviews

Review by Maria Castaneda
Home Care
Rating 5 5 Star Moving Rating

"From the moment I began working for Assisting Hands, I felt welcomed and comfortable. My bosses take the time to work with me on making a schedule that fits me best and they give me as many hours as they can. One thing I find reassuring is that a main priority of theirs is the safety of not only their clients but their employees as well. It is shown through their weekly phone calls/emails to their caregivers to see how they are doing and check in how the travel to a client's house went. They are accommodating when assigning a caregiver to a client, taking into consideration the transportation, the commute and comfortability."
