Supporting Family Caregivers During Older Americans Month
May is recognized as Older Americans Month, a time to celebrate the contributions, wisdom, and lives of older adults across…
Assisting Hands Fort Myers, the company’s first independent franchise location, celebrated its fifth birthday by moving offices to 1850 Boy Scout Drive, #A103, Fort Myers, FL 33907 in mid-July this year. The new location sits on one of the city’s busiest streets and provides the office great exposure to passing traffic.
“We have tripled our space, reflecting our growth and expanded activities,” owner Robert Thomas notes. “We have the space we’ve needed to expand our “Caregiver Excellence Training Program.” The program includes special skills including use of a hoyer lift for paraplegics—a caregiver skill that will distinguish Assisting Hands from other agencies in the area.
The new office location is just one of the many enhancements the Fort Myer’s agency has added in 2012. The Fort Myers location now offers Skilled Nursing, Care Management, and offers new care services tailored to specific client needs. The office has revamped its policies, redesigned its marketing materials, and many countless improvements, all leading to one goal—to become the undisputed best home care agency in Florida this year. “We’re absolutely serious about this goal of becoming the best—and having the programs and service level to prove it,” Thomas stated.
