“As a Healthcare professional i appreciate the fact that Assisting Hands is owned and operated by individuals who are also Physical Therapist. Many seniors are coming home from the hospital/rehab facility and require ongoing care. I believe Assisting Hands can offer another layer to their care plans due to their first hand knowledge of the rehab world. Keep up the good work!”
