Assisting Hands - Fremont, located in Newark, CA offers home care (non-medical). Visit Provider Website

Caregivers here are employees rather than independent contractors, and the office assigns the same caregiver to the same client, so your caregiver is someone you get to know.

Assisting Hands Fremont works from 39675 Cedar Blvd, Suite 180, in Newark, CA, and serves families in Fremont, Newark, Union City, Hayward, Castro Valley, San Leandro, Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, Palo Alto and San Jose, as well as Byron, Discovery Bay and Mountain House. Its owner, Jay Mehta, started the company after his family couldn't find Bay Area home care that met their standards when his father's health began to fail.

Pricing at Assisting Hands Fremont

Assisting Hands Fremont doesn't list an hourly rate on its own website. It recommends shifts of at least four hours, so a caregiver can build a steady relationship with you, and it doesn't require a long-term contract. A request through Get Pricing gets you the hourly rate for the shifts you're planning, so you'll know what a week of care costs before the first visit.

Help at Home From Assisting Hands Fremont

The office lists what a caregiver can help with:

• Bathing, grooming, dressing and incontinence care
• Meal preparation, menu planning and grocery shopping
• Light housekeeping, laundry and changing linens
• Rides to errands, medical appointments and social outings
• Mobility support, bed or wheelchair transfers and fall prevention
• Medication reminders, prescription pickups, and dementia and Parkinson's care

Your care plan is built with your family and changes as your needs do, so you're not locked into the help you asked for on day one.

24-Hour, Overnight and Respite Care

For 24-hour care, the office uses scheduled shifts in which caregivers stay awake the whole time, so someone is alert for a nighttime trip to the bathroom, a fall risk or a moment of confusion. It also offers overnight care, hourly visits for a few hours a day, and respite care that gives a family caregiver time to rest, work or travel.

Hospital to Home and Dementia Care

After a hospital stay, care can begin the same day, including pickup and a safe ride home, and caregivers follow discharge instructions and help with recovery routines. For dementia, caregivers get advanced training in communication, behavior management and safety, and care can grow to 24-hour support as your family member's needs change.

Veteran Programs at Assisting Hands Fremont

The office is an approved provider of VA (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs) program services, offering long-term and respite care for veterans and their spouses. Its veteran page says that under the VA Home Health Aide and Homemaker Program, a veteran who needs help with three or more daily activities and has significant cognitive impairment can receive up to 12 hours of care a week. That comes after an evaluation by a VA nurse, social worker or doctor.

Getting Started With Assisting Hands Fremont

The first step is a free consultation, where the team learns your routines and needs and builds a care plan. The office matches caregivers on skills, personality and experience, and asks one question before choosing anyone: would we trust this person with our own parents? A care manager can be reached 24/7, so a question at night doesn't have to wait until morning.
