Assisting Hands - Fremont

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

Caregivers at Assisting Hands Fremont are employees, not independent contractors, and the office sends the same caregiver to the same client. Owner Jay Mehta started the company when his father's health began to fail and his family couldn't find Bay Area home care that met their standards. The office is at 39675 Cedar Blvd, Suite 180, in Newark, CA, but the care still comes to you.

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 can match the hours to your budget.

Help at Home From Assisting Hands Fremont

A caregiver can help with:

• Bathing, grooming, dressing and incontinence care
• Meal preparation, menu planning and grocery shopping

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. 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, with long-term and respite care for veterans and their spouses. The office explains 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.
