Assisting Hands

Assisting Hands Home Care is a home care franchise providing non-medical care services to seniors and adults recovering from illness or surgery since 2006. Founded by Rithy Chau in Vernon Hills, Illinois, Assisting Hands operates franchise locations across the United States with a focus on providing reliable, professional care that allows clients to remain safely in their own homes as of 2026. Assisting Hands was founded on the principle that all seniors deserve to age with dignity, independence, and respect in the comfort of their own homes. The company's mission emphasizes not just providing care tasks, but building meaningful relationships between caregivers and clients that enhance quality of life and emotional well-being. Assisting Hands caregivers provide comprehensive services including personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and transportation. The company offers care ranging from a few hours per week to 24-hour live-in care, with flexible scheduling to accommodate changing needs. Many Assisting Hands locations specialize in specific types of care including dementia and Alzheimer's care, Parkinson's care, post-surgical recovery care, chronic disease management, and end-of-life care. The company trains caregivers in disease-specific care techniques and person-centered approaches that respect each client's unique needs and preferences. Assisting Hands is committed to caregiver quality and retention, offering competitive compensation, ongoing training, career development opportunities, and supportive work environments. This investment in caregiver satisfaction helps ensure consistent, high-quality care for clients and reduces the disruption caused by caregiver turnover. Each Assisting Hands franchise is independently owned and operated by franchisees who are committed to providing personalized care in their local communities. All locations must meet Assisting Hands' standards for caregiver screening, training, and quality assurance. Assisting Hands has earned positive reviews from clients and families for reliability, professionalism, and compassionate care. Many locations maintain relationships with hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and physician practices to provide coordinated care for clients transitioning from medical facilities back to home.
