For Healthcare Partners

The first days and weeks after discharge are when patients are most vulnerable. Many go home to an empty house, a stack of instructions and no one to help them follow the plan. Assisting Hands Home Care – Gilbert partners with discharge planners, case managers and social workers across the East Valley to fill that gap with reliable, non-medical support at home.

Our caregivers reinforce the discharge plan your team puts in place:

• Medication reminders so doses are taken on schedule
• Transportation and accompaniment to follow-up appointments with physicians and therapists
• Fall prevention and help with walking, transfers, bathing and dressing
• Nutritious meals and help with hydration
• Companionship and observation, with changes reported to the family and our office
• Light housekeeping and errands, including picking up prescriptions

As a non-medical agency, we work alongside home health, hospice and outpatient providers, not in place of them.

• Fast starts: caregivers matched and in place, typically within 48 hours of the first call
• Flexible schedules: short visits, overnight care and 24/7 support
• Screened, trained caregivers: background checked, bonded, insured and trained before their first shift
• Locally owned and led by Dr. Erica Richmond, who brings more than two decades of healthcare leadership experience
• Clear communication with your team and the family throughout the transition

We support patients returning home to Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Apache Junction and Casa Grande.

Call (602) 851-8128 to refer a patient or schedule a lunch-and-learn for your team. We’ll coordinate with the patient and family and handle the rest.
