Assisting Hands® Rockford Provides In-Home Care to Seniors and Veterans in Rockford, Illinois and the Surrounding Areas

The founder of Assisting Hands Home Care® is Dr. Gail Silverstein. She has more than 25 years of experience coordinating and leading health care programs in both the public and private sector. It was Gail’s understanding of the health care industry, along with the personal experience that inspired Gail.
