2. Companion Care
When friends move away or driving becomes difficult, the days can start to feel long and lonely.

3. Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care
Staying in familiar surroundings often helps a person living with memory loss feel calmer and less confused. Our caregivers are trained to communicate with patience, keep daily routines steady, and watch for safety concerns such as wandering, and we work alongside doctors, nurses, and family members to support your loved one through each stage of Alzheimer’s or dementia.

4. Respite Care
Caring for a parent or spouse is an act of love, and it is also a lot for one person to carry. Our respite caregivers can step in for an afternoon, a weekend, or a longer stretch while you work, travel, rest, or tend to your own health, and your loved one will be in capable, caring hands the entire time you are away.
5. Live-In & 24-Hour Care
Some seniors need someone nearby throughout the day and night, especially when health or mobility changes make it unsafe to be alone. Our live-in and 24-hour care provides ongoing support with daily routines, personal care, meals, mobility, and other needs, helping your loved one remain safe and comfortable at home while giving family caregivers greater peace of mind.
6. Overnight Care
Some seniors may be comfortable during the day but need extra support after dark. Our overnight care keeps a caregiver nearby to help with late-night bathroom trips, repositioning, getting safely in and out of bed, and other nighttime needs. This added support can help your loved one feel more secure while allowing family members to get a good night’s sleep.
7. Transitional Care
Coming home from the hospital or a rehab stay can feel overwhelming for everyone involved. Our transitional care program helps your loved one settle back in safely with support for transfers, meals, personal care, and follow-up appointments, which can lower the risk of a return trip to the hospital during those early days of recovery.

8. Skilled Nursing & Medication Management
When your loved one’s health calls for more than everyday assistance, our licensed nurses can provide skilled nursing support right at home. This includes medication management, such as organizing prescriptions, making sure doses are taken correctly and on time, watching for side effects or interactions, and keeping your loved one’s doctors and pharmacy informed, so families can feel confident that nothing important is missed.
9. Non-Emergency Senior Transportation
Getting to appointments and errands becomes much harder once your loved one is no longer comfortable behind the wheel. Our caregivers provide non-emergency transportation to doctor visits, therapy sessions, the pharmacy, the grocery store, church, and visits with friends, and they stay by your loved one’s side from the front door to the destination and back again.
10. Hospice Support
During hospice, our caregivers work alongside your loved one’s hospice team to provide added comfort at home, including personal care, companionship, and a calm, reassuring presence. This extra support gives families more time to simply be together during a meaningful season.

What Our Home Care Includes
Our home care services in Terrell, TX, can be tailored to your loved one’s day-to-day needs, including:
- Bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting

How Skilled Nursing Fits into Your Loved One’s Care
Many families assume they need two separate agencies, one for everyday assistance and another for medical needs. With Assisting Hands in Terrell, your loved one can receive personal care and companionship from a familiar caregiver while one of our licensed nurses oversees medication management and other health-related needs, all as part of one coordinated care plan.
If your loved one also receives services from a home health agency, physical therapist, or hospice team, we can coordinate with those providers as well. Keeping everyone informed helps create more consistent care and saves your family from having to relay updates and instructions between multiple providers.
In-Home Care Services in Terrell, TX
In-home care brings a trained caregiver to your loved one, allowing them to remain in the home they know and love rather than moving to a care facility. For many families in Terrell and throughout Kaufman County, this provides greater comfort and independence while making it easy to start with just a few visits each week and add support as your loved one’s needs change.
We provide care throughout Terrell, TX and the surrounding communities, with flexible options ranging from hourly visits and overnight shifts to 24-hour care. Services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our caregivers can also provide one-on-one support to loved ones living in assisted living communities when they need more personal attention than community staff can provide.
Who Benefits from Our Care Services
- Older adults who want to keep living independently at home
- Loved ones recovering from surgery, an illness, or a hospital stay
- Adults living with dementia, Parkinson’s, COPD, a stroke, or another ongoing condition
- Veterans who may qualify for in-home care benefits
- Busy adult children who cannot be there every day but want to know Mom or Dad is safe
If you are unsure whether your loved one is ready for home care, a free assessment is a helpful, pressure-free way to talk through your options and learn what support might look like.
How To Get Started with Home Care
Getting started with Assisting Hands begins with a conversation and an in-home visit. We take the time to understand your loved one’s health, daily routines, and the things that matter most to them, whether that means enjoying a morning cup of coffee on the porch or making it to church each week. We also look around the home for potential safety concerns. From there, we create a personalized care plan and schedule that supports your loved one’s needs while working well for your entire family.
- Reach out to our team: Call us at (903) 833-7267 to share a little about your loved one, ask questions, and set up a convenient time for an in-home visit.
- Meet with us at home: A member of our care team will visit, get to know your loved one, and talk through their needs, including any nursing, medication, or transportation support.
- Review your care plan: We will walk you through a written plan that explains the services, schedule, and costs, so there are no surprises down the road.
- Get to know your caregiver: We carefully match your loved one with a caregiver whose skills and personality are a good fit, and we introduce them before care begins.
- Keep the conversation going: Our team checks in regularly to see how things are going and to make changes whenever your loved one’s needs or your family’s schedule changes.
As your loved one’s needs change over time, their care plan can change with them. We can adjust schedules, add hours, modify daily tasks, or bring in nursing support as needed, helping your loved one continue receiving the right level of care and support at home.
How Families Pay for Home Care
1. Private Pay
Many families cover home care through personal savings, retirement income, or help from adult children and other relatives. Our flexible scheduling makes it easy to increase or reduce hours as your needs and your budget change.
2. Long-Term Care Insurance
If your loved one has a long-term care insurance policy, it may help cover the cost of home care. Please bring the policy to your free assessment, and we will review it with you and help you understand what paperwork your insurance company may need.
3. Veterans Benefits
Assisting Hands is an approved provider for the VA, and veterans may qualify for in-home care benefits. We encourage you to speak with your VA social worker to find out whether your loved one is eligible, and we are glad to help you understand the next steps.
