Assisting Hands Home Care - Reston, VA

At Assisting Hands, our mission is to offer our clients the very finest personalized medical and non-medical care, allowing them to remain safely and comfortably in their own homes. Sometimes life's natural events like aging, illness, or disability can make living independently at home more difficult. At Assisting Hands, we understand. Our certified, bonded, and insured caregivers have the compassion and skill necessary to help overcome the challenges you and your loved ones may face. Our in-home care services range from companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders, shopping and errands, light housekeeping and laundry, to help with bathing, dressing, grooming and incontinence care.

Trying to find the right person to come into your home and care for you or a family member can be overwhelming. Assisting Hands Home Care makes this process simple and relatively quick. We can generally place qualified help within 24 hours from a client's request, following strict case-management and safety standards.

Our caregivers are company employees, not contractors. This is important, because it gives us the ability to ensure consistent screening, training and supervision of all aides.
