All are W-2 employees, not 1099 contractors, and undergo national criminal background checks, initial orientation training, and continuous education to ensure high-quality, professional care.

In addition, our caregivers are offered a supplemental Thriving at Home Certification training providing them with the ability to identify and escalate concerns and keep our clients healthy at home, and out of the hospital.

Our Lexington office is locally owned and operated and believes a supportive and knowledgeable office staff is key to ensuring quality service for our community. We have a team of Case Managerswho are all clinical professionals. Our Client Care team oversees each of our clients; they educate, support, and collaborate with families and our caregivers to ensure the care we provide is appropriate and meets the individual needs of our clients. Our team of Scheduling Coordinators works 24/7 to ensure our caregiving employees are assigned and prepared to meet the requested schedule of our clients. This specialized and personalized care sets our service apart from other organizations.

Another key differentiator is our unique Thriving at Home approach helps ensure our clients are provided all resources available to keep them healthy at home, and allows them to do as much as they are able to independently.  While we can do so much for our clients, we aim to only provide the level of care that is needed – encouraging our clients to do as much as they are able to. This philosophy helps maintain independence for when we are not providing support. Lastly, we provide supplemental Thriving at Home certification training for our caregivers, to empower them in mitigating the causes for unneeded hospitalizations. These efforts combined are resulting in Assisting Hands having one of the lowest re-hospitalization rates in the US across home care firms. We take pride in keeping our clients healthy at home and out of the hospital.
