Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does non-medical cancer support differ from home health care for cancer patients?
A: Non-medical home care focuses on daily living support, meal preparation, transportation, and personal hygiene. Home health care involves licensed nurses who provide clinical treatments or administer medication. Our caregivers assist with everyday needs and coordinate around your medical team.
Q: Can caregivers drive clients to chemotherapy appointments in West Palm Beach or Boynton Beach?
A: Yes. Caregivers provide non-emergency transportation throughout Palm Beach County, help clients into and out of the facility, and remain available before and after appointments.
Q: How do caregivers support loved ones experiencing severe post-treatment fatigue?
A: Caregivers manage physical household tasks, assist with walking and repositioning, and prepare meals so your loved one can focus entirely on rest. Caregivers can also assist with household chores such as light housekeeping and laundry and run the client’s errands, such as going to the supermarket, pharmacy or other shopping. In addition, caregivers can keep the client’s calendar to make sure that all appointments are included and attended.
Q: Do you offer flexible scheduling based on chemotherapy cycles?
A: Yes. Hours can scale up during heavy treatment weeks and scale back during recovery, and our caregivers can be placed in as little as 24 hours.
Q: How can I pay for non-medical care?
A: Families have several ways to cover the cost of care. Many clients pay privately (private pay), and we also work with most major long-term care insurance policies, including carriers such as Genworth, John Hancock, Lincoln, Transamerica, and Unum. Have another question? Contact Assisting Hands Palm Beach County and we will gladly walk you through the options that best fit your family.

Reviews from Our Clients
Jacqueline L.
“It’s very positive experience at Assisting Hands Home Care. They help me take care of my grocery shopping and that takes a load off me.”
Jill Syverson-Stork
“From our first interaction with the owner and staff of Assisting Hands in West Palm Beach, we felt their desire to meet our particular needs in the care of our aging parent with limited mobility. They understood that she wished to stay in her home and wanted her own high standards of housekeeping and care maintained. Assisting Hands worked with the family to put in place the very best caregivers possible for our parent. The love, professionalism, dependability, and attention to detail shown by the caregivers and the staff was beyond our highest expectations. Communication was consistent, courteous, and excellent. Our family–living and working at some distance from our parent– felt supported. Our parent felt comforted, loved, cared for, and secure in her own home, as we had hoped. Assisting Hands became an extension of our family.”
