Peace of Mind for Our Clients and Their Families
When routine tasks become too much to handle alone, Seniors Hand Care offers hourly services to assist our clients with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning, medication reminders, errands and much more. By helping with daily activities, our hourly home caregivers enable clients to maintain their normal routines and independence while staying in the comfort of their home.
Our professional caregivers are dedicated to the overall wellbeing of their clients. We are on call 24/7, so help is available immediately. There is no long-term commitment with hourly home care from Seniors Hand Care, so you and your family can use our services for as long as you need them without worrying about canceling a contract or dealing with a commitment.
Each caregiver is experienced in caring for seniors and undergoes a thorough background check to ensure the safety of each of our clients. To maintain professionalism, our live-in caregivers are only allowed at the client’s home during assigned hours and must have their own separate residence. They are strictly forbidden from using their client’s property for personal use, so our clients have peace of mind at all times.
