Assisting Hands Home Care

Assisting Hands Home Care is an in-home care provider serving seniors and elderly individuals in Bethesda, Maryland and throughout Montgomery County. The agency has been delivering nonmedical home care for over a decade, focusing on helping clients age in place with dignity and independence in their own homes.

The agency offers a range of services including assistance with personal hygiene, bathing, grooming, dressing, and incontinence management; meal preparation and grocery shopping; light housekeeping and laundry; reliable transportation for errands and medical appointments; aid with mobility and transfers; fall prevention monitoring; and specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Care plans are tailored to each client's unique needs and adapted as those needs evolve.

Assisting Hands emphasizes continuity of care by assigning the same caregivers to clients whenever possible. All caregivers are employees of the agency who are trained, supervised, and insured. The company prioritizes matching clients with caregivers based on experience, skill set, and personality, seeking individuals who demonstrate genuine compassion, reliability, and respect. The agency offers complimentary in-home assessments and accepts Long-Term Care Insurance while guiding families through the process.

The organization was founded by Cathy and a former attorney after both experienced challenges caring for their own parents. The founders established the agency with a mission to provide exceptional caregiving while educating families about aging in place successfully and offering counseling on available care options. The company operates without long-term contract requirements, prioritizing client satisfaction and flexibility in service delivery.
