Assisting Hands Home Care Cincinnati provides in-home care services in the Greater Cincinnati region, helping seniors age in the comfort of their own homes. The agency offers personal care, companionship, assistance with daily living tasks, light housekeeping, bathing, grooming, meal preparation, medication reminders, dementia support, and respite care, with flexible scheduling from a few hours a week to 24-hour full-time support.
The organization began over 12 years ago after the founder's mother-in-law required advanced care the family could not provide alone. Founded on the principle that in-home care is personal and driven by a sense of purpose, Assisting Hands emphasizes individualized care plans tailored to each client's routines, values, goals, and what brings them comfort. Care plans can be modified as needs change to ensure ongoing appropriate support.
Assisting Hands employs caregivers directly rather than contracting independent providers, with all staff undergoing criminal background screening, reference checks, and continuous training in safety protocols, infection control, emergency response, and client-specific care. The agency prioritizes assigning the same caregiver to clients to foster consistency and personal connection. Supervisors conduct routine check-ins to maintain quality and compliance, and the agency offers around-the-clock support lines for emergencies or concerns.
The agency does not require long-term contracts and states its top priority is client satisfaction. Safety practices include proper lifting techniques, fall prevention measures, use of appropriate personal protective equipment when needed, and tailored care plans addressing each client's health, mobility, and safety needs.
