What does that mean for our clients?<br \/>\nMany of our clients can perform most of their daily tasks without assistance. Assisting Hands is there for those few things that maybe don\u2019t come as naturally at this point in life. It\u2019s critical that our clients are involved in planning their own care so that our caregivers don\u2019t overstep. Aging with dignity is everyone\u2019s right, and maintaining independence as much as possible supports that goal.<br \/>\nSpeaking of goals, we ask every client (and family, where appropriate) about their goals of care with Assisting Hands. Those goals are transcribed into a prominent place in the care plan, so our caregivers always keep them in mind. We may be there to help with meal preparation or shower assistance, but the client\u2019s goals tell us the overall story and guide our actions.<br \/>\nOur mission to customize care for every client is why we take the time to really get to know them and their family, and why we don\u2019t assume that everyone needs the same schedule. We have clients we see for just two hours a week, and others that we see twice a day every day.<br \/>\nAs we approach our country\u2019s Independence Day, think about the seniors in your life and let Assisting Hands help you maintain their independence!<br \/>\n<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols offset_small\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image\"><div class=\"us-frame\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"921\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/93\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2024\/06\/IMG_5087-921x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/93\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2024\/06\/IMG_5087-921x1024.jpg 921w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/93\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2024\/06\/IMG_5087-270x300.jpg 270w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/93\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2024\/06\/IMG_5087-768x854.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/93\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2024\/06\/IMG_5087-600x667.jpg 600w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/93\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2024\/06\/IMG_5087.jpg 1131w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Part of the Assisting Hands Mission Statement reads, \u201cAssist our clients to achieve their maximum potential for independence and wellbeing.\u201d Independence is woven into the fabric of who we are as a company.
