Whatever challenges life may bring, there’s nothing like the peace of mind and comfortability that comes with being in your own home.
When a loved one needs special care, the ability to receive trusted, attentive services in familiar surroundings is truly priceless.
Assisting Hands is a nationwide home care brand that has been in business for over 20 years. The Placentia location is a small business that prides itself on being just that, a benefit that allows them to provide active, hands-on service.
“We are a 24/7 operation,” says Dr. Shana Koh, owner, and president of Assisting Hands in Placentia. “We treat our clients and caregivers like family, and we take business ethics and integrity seriously by making sure our services, commitment, and attention to detail reflect those values at all times.”
Assisting Hands provides a wide range of services, including Senior In-Home Care, Elderly Care Services, Fall Prevention, Personal Care & Companion Services, and Coordination of Care.
“We accommodate those needing non-medical care by maximizing their health and wellness in the privacy of their home. Home care services are delivered one-on-one, assuring more private attention than a nursing home or a facility,” says Dr. Koh.
Services include things like meal preparation, light housekeeping, bathing and grooming assistance, pet care, medication reminders, and much more.
While Assisting Hands welcomes those of all ages, they especially focus on servicing veterans and individuals with special needs.
“The positive feedback we have received has been authentically rewarding,” she says. “We are veteran advocates and assist families to fill out the application sitting side by side.”
Assisting Hands believes that “health is wealth,” which starts by getting better at home.
“Home care promotes authentic healing, and research shows that patients heal more quickly and comfortably at home versus in an institutionalized setting,” says Dr. Koh. “There's nothing more valuable than being in your own space and living freely. Home care supports family involvement and leads to a higher quality of life, even when physical frailty is an immediate factor.”
The Assisting Hands team is driven by a strong sense of faith and a drive to serve those in need in the greater North Orange County community.
“Being around elderly friends and family has inspired the home care business, as we recognize and embrace the growing elderly demographics in our local communities,” says Dr. Koh. “We want to be the first to help them in times of need. With our home care services, we provide the caregivers to look after the well-being of our clients, because no person, regardless of age, should be alone.”
