Caregiving can feel like a “solo” job. Often a caregiver is spending time in the home of a client and may be the only person their client sees that day. This can be a tough job, so we want to be sure our caregivers are fully supported and understand that they are NOT alone out there, which is exactly what makes caregiving at Assisting Hands different in terms of continuous support, training, and on-the-ground guidance.
- A Care Coordinator is available 24/7 to offer advice by phone or even physical help if necessary.
- While we don’t provide medical care, we employ nurses – even though we are not required to do so. That means if a caregiver is concerned about a healing wound, for example, they can ask for an Assisting Hands nurse to check in, and the nurse can then advocate for the client if necessary.
- We have a Caregivers’ Council that meets regularly to offer feedback on other ways we might support them and their colleagues in the field.
- Assisting Hands serving Columbus, OH training includes hands-on learning experience and dementia training, which raises the bar from caregiving to building up home care professionals.
Assisting Hands serving Home Care Columbus, OH believes that everyone in the company is a caregiver, and that caregiving is not just about meeting basic needs – it’s about adding life to the years of our clients and making sure they have a better day than they would have had otherwise. As one of our caregivers says, “It’s about not just the icing, but the sprinkles – that’s what makes the difference.”
