As is often the case in Chevy Chase, seniors, disabled and post-surgical patients usually want to stay at home when extra care is needed. But just “anyone” won’t work. You need and want someone responsible, caring and capable! Our caregivers are the best in the business and they are ready to answer your need.

Tailored for you. It’s difficult to be the full-time caregiver. Not only is there a good deal of stress to the job, but sometimes you just can’t be there. That’s when we can help. We can be there in the morning to help with daily grooming. We can be there all day to manage the house, answer the door, schedule repairmen, go through the mail and take your loved one to appointments as needed. We can be there one day a week as a respite for the caregiver, or we can be there every morning. You tell us what you need.

People call us for many reasons. We are here to help families in Chevy Chase and the surrounding area. Please give us a call and let’s discuss the situation. We are happy to provide a care plan that can work for you.

Depending on the needs, Assisting Hands can be a temporary lifeline for a family where someone is recovering from surgery. Or we can be a regular relief for a family member who provides daily care for someone in need. Consider the stress relief that comes when someone can take a day off to themselves, or a day for weekly shopping and visiting friends. What is your need? Give us a call.
