I cannot speak highly enough about Medel and his team in Assisting Hands. What sets them apart is the level of personalized care they provide. Medel takes time know the clients and to understand their unique needs, preferences, and routines, creating a level of comfort and trust that is hard to find elsewhere.

One of the most impressive aspects is Medel's direct involvement. He is hands‑on, accessible, and genuinely invested in the well‑being of every family. His kind of leadership creates a culture where excellence isn’t optional; it’s the standard. His work ethic is outstanding, and every interaction reflects professionalism, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility, and it shows in the consistency and reliability of their caregivers. He leads by example, and the entire team mirrors that commitment.

If you’re looking for a caregiving agency that combines heart, expertise, and exceptional leadership, this is the one. They deliver care you can trust and support you can feel—every step of the way.

We reached out for help in the care of my mom. Medel reached out and spoke opening about what his business could provide. Even before we selected this company he went and visited my mom at the facility almost every week till discharge. He was able to visual see what her needs would be in her home. Together we worked on a plan of care to optimize what she could do.
He worked with mom to make sure she trusted the caregivers he provided. Presently mom has Aaron and Sandy who are both amazing people. It is a blessing to know mom is able to be in her own home and safe.

Our family was very pleased with the care provided to our father in his final months. Nikki and Aaron went out of their way to accommodate him. They were so caring and respectful. Also, the Alburo's (owners) were often on site and went above and beyond to assist our father according to his needs.
Thank you,
God Bless

"I can’t say enough about the kindness and professionalism I experienced. Even though we didn’t move forward with formal care services, they took the time to guide me through options and provide support during a very stressful time. Their responsiveness and genuine concern made a huge difference for me and my family. Highly recommend to anyone looking for compassionate and knowledgeable guidance!"
