Who We Are
At Assisting Hands, our mission is to offer our clients the very finest personalized non-medical care, allowing them to live safely and comfortably in their own homes. Sometimes life’s natural events-aging, illness, or disability-can make living independently at home more difficult.
Not a Senior? Not a Problem!
Our home caregiver services are not just for seniors. We also provide care for younger clients in need of assistance. These young clients may all have a different diagnosis. For example, a 25 year old dealing with cancer, a 28 year old who fell off his mountain bike right out of college and is now a quadriplegic, a 34 year old who had a massive stroke during surgery and is now bed bound with high acuity needs, and a number of 50 year olds ranging from massive stokes to cancer.
Happy Clients
Tiyani B. has been a wonderful caregiver for my husband and a great help to me as I cope with my husband's death. My husband, who resisted outside help, found Tiyani good company and looked forward to her coming. She is flexible, good natured and intelligent. I'm very glad to have had her help.

I have had the opportunity to collaborate recently with David Tasto, President, Assisting Hands-Boston Northwest. Working with David was a very positive experience. His company's goal of providing education and care to keep people at home and out of the hospital really resonates with me both professionally and personally.

Looking for high quality compassionate and reliable in-home caregiving? Look no further- Assisting Hands Home Care will meet all your needs and exceed your expectations!Eden Home Health Care, serving the greater Boston area with skilled home health services, works closely with Assisting Hands Home Care. Eden’s team has over 50 combined years vested in the senior care industry. We want to commend Assisting Hands Boston Northwest team. The administrative and clinical team are remarkable, demonstrate excellent leadership from the top down approach.The Assisting Hands caregivers are phenomenal! Eden Home Health patients have raved about Assisting Hands Boston Northwest caregivers. They are personable, empathetic, reliable and more than competent in their skills. They have gone above and beyond for our patients.A great example and share-worthy experience with Assisting Hands Home Care occurred recently with a client Eden referred. During the first shift, the caregiver encountered challenges that were difficult to resolve on their own. As any compassionate caregiver should do in this situation, they contacted the manager on call. In response to the call, Dave Tasto, owner of Assisting Hands Boston Northwest, went to the client’s home on a Sunday afternoon to support his employee and the client. Dave worked to successfully deescalate the client and spent the remaining 4hrs of the shift at the client’s home. He communicated with the family and worked out a successful plan for the next shift of in-home caregiving. Dave’s devotion to his team and clients lead to a satisfied elder in need of care and a comforted family knowing, their loved one was in good hands.10 stars for Assisting Hands! Eden Home Health Care will continue recommending clients to Assisting Hands when in need of in-home caregivers.
