A Message from the Assisting Hands Home Care Portland Owners
As a Registered Nurse, I have witnessed the critical importance of close collaboration between healthcare professionals, social workers, and families, especially when seniors transition from hospital to home. Unfortunately, many elderly individuals lacked the necessary support to thrive at home, leading to avoidable rehospitalizations. It was heartbreaking to see how small preventive measures could have made all the difference. At Assisting Hands Home Care Greater Portland, my mission is to ensure that every client receives the care they need to live happy, healthy, and independent lives at home. I founded this business with the goal of using my acute care experience to train our team to recognize the early signs of health issues before they escalate. This proactive approach is a key part of the personalized, comprehensive care we provide, far beyond traditional caregiving. Choosing a reliable Portland Home Care provider can be an overwhelming and stressful process for families. We understand how difficult it is to entrust the care of a loved one to someone new. While a caregiver may not replace family, we are committed to being a trusted partner in safeguarding your loved one’s well-being. In-home care is deeply personal for us—it’s driven by a purpose to help our clients lead fulfilling lives in the comfort of their own homes. With Assisting Hands Home Care Portland, you can have peace of mind knowing your loved one is in compassionate, skilled, and trusted hands. Our distinction as a licensed comprehensive care agency means we offer not only personal and companion care but also proactive, skilled services that prevent health complications, ensuring the highest quality of life for our clients.
