Our caregivers are caring, compassionate people who enjoy helping others and who have that special gift of patience and understanding when dealing with the challenges that sometimes face the elderly. We pride ourselves on our frequent communication with loving family members regarding their loved ones' health status and offer a “We Care” supplemental services program for the family entering hospice in Littleton.
Senior In Home Care

Some of the specific services offered for the senior in home care client include:

Assisting Hands prides itself in providing outstanding in home senior care to our growing senior population, working together with the client and his/her loved ones to meet the specific requirements of each unique individual. The senior care process begins with a thorough in home needs assessment and home safety evaluation followed with recommendations on how best to serve each client’s individual needs. Of course, very special care is taken in making sure that there is a good “fit” between client and caregiver. As the situation and requirements of each client changes, we are also ready to change and make adjustments with our frequent re-evaluation system.
