At Assisting Hands, we offer peace of mind. We reduce the stress felt by family members who are caring for seniors, post-surgical family members, those with disabilities or those who are living with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. Whatever your situation, we understand the need for personal, highly regarded in-home care for your loved ones. We recognize the need of families in Kensington who are looking for home care that works. Specifically, you want home care that is designed for your particular needs – whether that’s 24 hours a day, one morning a week, or a regular weekly schedule you can depend on.

Assisting Hands provides a type of concierge service to our Kensington clients. Tell us what you need and we’ll find the right caregiver to match your needs. Are you looking for companion care a few mornings a week? Or do you need someone to care for your loved one every day, 24 hours a day. Whether your need is small – a few hours a week – or more extensive, such a daily care, we’re here for you.

Why Assisting Hands? After experiencing the need for care for my own parents, I wanted to make home care more accessible. And I wanted to provide dedicated care to address various levels of need. That’s why we started Assisting Hands. We are a dedicated team. We strive to provide a perfect match between caregiver and client – meshing needs with personalities and capabilities. The better our match, the more satisfied our customers.

Care designed for your needs. We take the time to listen to you. We ask questions because we want to get it right. Our caregivers are matched to your loved one to provide the care he or she needs. We provide caregivers who can be companions during the day. We also provide caregivers who take care of post-surgical patients – making sure they don’t fall. These same caregivers might also do some light housekeeping. And if your loved one has Dementia or Alzheimer’s; we have caregivers who can provide adequate care and maintain careful supervision to prevent unsafe activities.

Whatever your needs, we can help. Many families throughout Kensington include seniors who want to stay at home. It’s a reasonable request and one that we can meet, depending on the needs of your loved ones. Whether you need frequent, even daily care for a loved one, or regularly scheduled care, we can help. Our Kensington clients prefer a personal approach, tailoring needs to specific circumstances.

Providing relief to families. 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 in the home 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 afternoon. You tell us what you need.

People call us for many reasons. We are here to help families in Kensington 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.
