Assisting Hands of Polk County provides professional senior care in Winter Haven and Lakeland, allowing our clients to remain safe and comfortable in their own homes. While nursing and retirement homes are good options for some, many seniors love that our home healthcare agency provides them with a sense of independence, security, and comfort. Our empathetic home health aides are carefully screened so that our clients can rest assured that they or their loved ones will be in good hands. We’re dedicated to going above and beyond to provide peace of mind to every family we help with our home healthcare.
What We Do - Home Healthcare Services
At our home health agency in Lakeland and Winter Haven, we understand. Our trained dependable home health aides and personal assistants can help our clients overcome challenges, and make home an even better place to be. We provide everything from companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders, shopping and errands, light housekeeping and laundry, to personal care and help with bathing and dressing.
Where We Help
We provide senior home healthcare in Lakeland and the surrounding areas from a few hours a day to around-the-clock, and we customize our care to meet your schedule. A few of the areas we serve include:
- Winter Haven

We want to make it as simple as possible for our clients to receive the elderly care they need, so we’ll come to you and your family. We recognize that while some of our clients need 24 hour home care, others only need help with errands like grocery shopping or trips to the salon. Our home health aides are fully prepared to help your loved ones get around town in these communities!
Who We Are - Our Home Health Agency
At Assisting Hands, our mission is to offer our clients the very finest personalized non-medical home healthcare in the Lakeland area, 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. Our home healthcare agency works with clients to develop a customized suite of home healthcare services to help them while still allowing them their independence whenever possible. We understand that allowing a stranger into your or your loved one’s home can be stressful, so we’re serious about developing trusting and lasting relationships with each of our home healthcare clients.
How to Pay for Care
Nationwide in 2016, the average cost for non-medical home care is $20 per hour with the state averages ranging from $18 – $26 per hour. It should be noted that these are average costs from home care agencies. Private individuals can be retained to provide most of the same services with fees that are 20% – 30% lower. However, these independents are typically uninsured, do not go through background checks and may be unable to provide alternatives in case they are not available to work on short notice.
We understand that paying for a home health aide can be a challenge, but we don’t think that anyone should have to live with sub-par assistance because of the price. We work with our clients to develop a flexible plan that addresses their unique needs while keeping their budget in mind. Furthermore, we’re experts at tapping into assistance programs to help our clients save on out-of-pocket expenses whenever possible.

Assisting Hands is by far the best home care that I personally have experienced in this area. My mother was in the best of hands which took a great worry off of me and my family. If you need something and call them it gets done the same day. Thank you Bart and staff. You were truly a blessing to us and my mom.Gail Moyer
