Welcome, 2018!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Team:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are appreciative for this first year of business, and are honored to be serving the residents of our beloved Austin, Texas. Thanks to our amazing caregivers and our growing team&#8230; we couldn&#8217;t do it without y&#8217;all! 4 of the caregivers that started with us on day one are now a part of our core team. Destenie, who was our first caregiver at Assisting Hands, was promoted in June and has been serving as the staffing coordinator. We also want to thank Becky, MSSW student at UT Austin&#8217;s School of Social Work, for joining our team and helping us partner with the school to best serve the older adults of Austin. We have loved meeting so many people throughout 2017 and working with so many amazing and caring families.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Best wishes, happy holidays, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&#8211; Assisting Hands Home Care Office Team:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Destenie (staffing coordinator), Louis (office manager), Emmie (LMSW, administrator)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Follow us on facebook: <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/assistinghandswestaustin\">facebook.com\/assistinghandswestaustin<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check out our website: <a href=\"http:\/\/assistinghands.com\/westaustin\">assistinghands.com\/westaustin<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy New Year from Assisting Hands!
