Jennifer Dexter and Paulina Sihakom left successful corporate careers to pursue a more meaningful path in home care. After seeing the growing need for compassionate senior care in Rockford, they opened Assisting Hands Rockford to help local families find trusted in-home support.

Their team provides non-medical in-home care services for seniors and adults who need assistance at home or in an assisted living community. Care is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including overnight care.

Helping Veterans Age at Home

Assisting Hands Rockford also focuses on helping veterans and their families access valuable benefits and home care programs.

“We want to educate veterans and their families about programs that may help them qualify for care at home,” Jennifer shared. “Programs such as Aid & Attendance and the Homemaker Program can provide important support for aging veterans.”

The caregivers at Assisting Hands Rockford complete extensive training and work closely with healthcare professionals throughout the community. Their team can also help coordinate additional services, including rehabilitation, assisted living, palliative care, hospice care, financial services, and personal care resources.
