I reached out to the owner of Assisting Hands Home Care while attending a professional conference, where I spoke with the Director of Development. At the time, my aunt was undergoing chemotherapy for a recent cancer diagnosis and was receiving in-home support from another care management company in the same market. Unfortunately, that provider was clearly taking advantage of the situation--the billing was excessive and resembled a law firm's itemized invoices. As a result, I immediately began searching for an alternative home care provider. From my very first interaction with Assisting Hands, the experience was outstanding. Every member of the team went above and beyond, providing professionalism, compassion, and genuine care during an incredibly difficult period for our family. We used Assisting Hands for several months, and my aunt truly loved every caregiver who visited her. Sadly, my aunt ultimately lost her battle with cancer. However, because of the exceptional care provided by Assisting Hands, we were able to bring her home for her final days, which meant everything to our family. The Director of Development even came out on a Friday night to personally coordinate with the hospice nurse from Good Shepherd Hospice and review the care plan. That level of dedication is rare. Assisting Hands treated us as far more than clients--we felt like family. Their compassion, concern, and humanity made an extraordinarily painful time more manageable. I cannot say enough about how much their care meant to us, and I would recommend Assisting Hands without hesitation to anyone in need of high-quality home care. Sincerely, Joe Garvin
