He has gone above and beyond in helping Steve, who cannot use his hands at all and has real difficulty walking due to chemical exposures from Gulf War and having been a firefighter for several years.  Xen's kindness and thoughtfulness touches our hearts everyday.  A gifted artist and a photographer, pours out his compassion to people around him by working as a caregiver.  We know he could be doing many other things, but we are so grateful he has chosen to give of himself by helping people like Steve through Assisting Hands.  I truly thank Father God for him everyday in my prayers.  I  am also grateful for all the kindness shown by Assisting Hands office people like Jen and Bri ( and Wanda - who has retired).  I have tried working with other caregiver agencies, but Assisting Hands has been the best agency to work with.  An absolute 5 star agency.  Thank you again everyone at Assisting Hands and especially Xen for being there for us when we are in need of such compassion and understanding and so much physical help as well.  God bless you.

He is more than a caregiver\u2014he is a lifeline, a friend, and what I lovingly call our Gentle Giant.\n\nXen goes beyond the call of duty in every imaginable way. For my husband Steve, who has a nerve condition that slows him down and causes his leg to curl, Xen didn\u2019t wait to be told\u2014he brought in a handmade weighted rice bag to help keep Steve\u2019s leg stretched. The OT was so impressed that he said he\u2019d be using that idea with all his clients. That\u2019s the kind of innovative care Xen brings.\n\nHe exercises with Steve, something incredibly difficult due to Steve\u2019s condition, yet Xen handles it with patience and encouragement. He bathes him with a gentleness and precision that I admit I don\u2019t have. He even watches the water temperature with care and spoons each bite of food patiently when feeding him. These are not tasks\u2014they are acts of love.\n\nThey\u2019ve developed a true friendship. They laugh, share moments, and Xen keeps Steve\u2019s mind stimulated, which has been crucial as Steve has experienced mental decline. One day, I even found Xen crawling around our room, spreading bug powder so Steve could sleep peacefully. Who does that?\n\nHe has worked a grueling, flexible schedule\u2014coming at 6am, and then returning from 9-11pm for months just to accommodate our needs. Even when he\u2019s on vacation, he worries about Steve\u2019s wellbeing. That level of compassion and dedication is rare.\n\nWatching Xen train another caregiver recently showed me how deeply he understands his role. He is patient, knowledgeable, and a natural teacher. He doesn\u2019t just care for Steve\u2014he elevates the standard of care for everyone around him.\n\nAssisting Hands Rockford has not only provided us with care, they also help us navigate the VA and they\u2019ve given us peace of mind. I truly believe Xen cares for my husband just as much as I do. To anyone considering in-home care\u2014look no further.
