We are grateful for families who share their experiences with our care. Mason described how meaningful it was to have compassionate support for his mother who is living with late stage dementia.

He shared that their caregiver, Fardowsa, consistently goes above expectations and provides the trustworthy and caring support their family hoped for.

We appreciate the opportunity to be part of their care journey.

On this Christmas Eve, we’re holding close the memory of Aggie, our founder’s mother. When she went through cancer treatments, compassionate caregivers made all the difference.

Each Christmas season, we remember Aggie and all those we’ve cared for who won’t be with their families to celebrate this season. Their stories remind us of what matters most in caregiving: compassion, presence, and the everyday moments that bring comfort and dignity.

We’re grateful for the trust families place in us to make these moments possible.

To all of our clients, partners in care, and everyone who follows our work, thank you for being part of our community. Wishing you comfort, peace, and joy this Christmas Eve and throughout the holiday season.

Seasonal events may increase stress for loved ones with cognitive changes. Limiting large crowds, simplifying decor, and offering gentle redirection can support a smoother experience.

A thoughtful environment helps them stay engaged without feeling overwhelmed.

There for the Moments That Matter Most 👰🤵

Care doesn’t always mean long-term support, sometimes it means being there for just one important day.

Recently, we had the privilege of helping a client attend his grandson’s wedding. His family needed support for the day so he could travel safely, feel comfortable, and fully enjoy a moment that meant the world to them. Our caregiver stepped in so the focus could stay where it belonged: celebrating family and togetherness.

Assisting Hands is here whether you need care for one day, one week, or longer. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments only last a day, but they last a lifetime in memory. We’re honored to help families say yes to moments that matter.

Introducing “brain rotation” activities can help support cognitive strength. Seniors benefit from shifting between different tasks such as reading, music, puzzles, and mental games. This approach stimulates multiple areas of the brain in a fun and practical way.
