Assisting Hands Expands Assisted Living Services

Assisting Hands, a company in Houston, TX, is proud to announce that they have extended their in-home assisted living services. The company's goal is to ensure elderly people and others who require in-home help, are able to live with happiness and dignity in their own home. To achieve this, they regularly review the services that they offer in order to always remain up to date with the kind of services that can be provided.

Terri Robbins from Assisting Hands says: "We understand like no one else how important it is for people to be able to continue to live in their own homes. Statistics have shown again and again that people who retain at least some of their independence, and are in an environment that they can trust, have far better physical and mental health outcomes, and we are proud to play a part in that. We always review our services to make sure they continue to be relevant."

As part of their services, Assisting Hands now offers bathing, grooming, meal preparation, housekeeping, home safety evaluations, recommendation for and placement of assistive devices in the home, fall risk assessments and individualized fall prevention plans, care coordination with all members of the client's healthcare team, transportation and accompaniment to vital healthcare appointments, specialized care for the Alzheimer's or other dementia clients, one-on-one end of life care for clients, automated medication reminders, compassionate companionship, and clock-in system monitoring for punctual caregiver arrivals. They now also have a medical alert system available, as well as video monitoring services. Put together, they aim to prevent hospital readmission for their clients.

The company is now also available on social media sites like Twitter, aiming to ensure the family members of those who they assist, who are often much younger people, are able to use these forms of communication to find out more about the services that they offer. The social media channels are also used to highlight any new developments.

Facebook in particular has been used by many to leave positive reviews about the company. "Thank you for all you do for the elderly in Houston and beyond," says one happy client.
