We strive to treat each client with dignity and respect so they can feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Our caregivers are screened, uniformed, trained, bonded and insured for your peace of mind.

We can be there for you or your loved one.
It can be difficult to care for a loved one with dementia, especially during the later stages. But our caregivers are trained to take a team approach, working with nurses, doctors, social workers, therapists and family members to help them feel safe and comfortable.
To help your loved one live safely and comfortably at home, our caregivers are available to help with all activities of daily living. From personal care tasks like bathing, brushing their hair and eating to companionship and transportation, we can help with each of your loved one’s needs.
If you or a loved one is facing difficulties taking care of themselves, such as lack of nutritious, living in a messy home or just feeling lonely, Assisting Hands Palos can help. Our senior and elderly care services are designed to keep your loved one comfortable and feeling fulfilled, whether it’s cleaning the home, preparing meals or playing board games.
