Assisting Hands Home Care prides itself on offering compassionate, dependable home care to their clients across the US. Their unparalleled reputation of quality home care covers a broad spectrum of services ranging from aging care for the elderly, post-surgery care, transitional care from a hospital or rehab, to post maternity care for those mothers who need care after the birth of their child.

 

Aside from the company’s mission for quality home care and passion for the value of family, one of the other reasons that Assisting Hands has provided such exceptional care to their clients is due to their high standards for hiring.

 

According to the company’s Vice President, Gail Stout, Assisting Hands Home Care believes that the caregivers are the face of the company. “Our agencies hire caregivers that first and foremost align with our company’s core values.” Gail went on to explain that their agencies do a complete interview process of each hiring candidate. “We look for the three most important qualities in our caregivers which is professionalism, empathy, and strong communication skills.”  Additionally, the agencies do a comprehensive background screening, training and verification of skill competency. “Each AHHC agency has a robust pool of caregivers but we are always looking to hire additional caregivers that meet our guidelines and criteria for caring for our clients,” Gail said.

 

According to some of the agencies’ caregivers, Assisting Hands motivates their employees to give the best care possible. “They treat their caregivers with very high standards,” said Fatima L.  She went on to say that the company strives to provide quality care to their clients for all their individual needs. “Because of this quality care it makes a great difference to all elderly clients and their families.”
