Frequently Asked Questions
Private duty home care agencies provide non-medical assistance that helps older adults remain safely in their own homes. Services typically include help with bathing, meal preparation, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and companionship. Many families in Arlington choose home care when a loved one needs daily support with activities of daily living due to old age, post-hospital discharge, or dementia.
Signs that a parent may benefit from home care include difficulty with bathing or dressing, missed medications, frequent falls, poor nutrition, memory problems, or increasing isolation. Families also often consider home care after a hospitalization or surgery when extra support is needed during recovery.
Choosing the right home care agency starts with making sure the provider has been in business for several years, properly licensed, employs trained and background-checked caregivers, and offers services that match your loved one’s needs.

Assisting Hands Home Care Arlington Reviews
"We needed a home health aide at the very last minute to help my mother after her surgery. Brett and his team was able to come through on 24 hours notice with a wonderful nurse aid. They are extremely professional and responsive."
"Assisting Hands Home Care is a very caring organization. The take excellent care of my father and send me e-mails updating me on his situation."
"There are no words to describe the miraculous service of Assisting Hands but I will try. My mother has Alzheimers and her partner was terminal, suffering from prostate cancer. Both were housed in Independent Living in Arlington, Virginia so our family was 100% dependent upon AH to care for them. AH was called upon to assist in an extremely difficult situation with two well loved individuals who had vastly different needs. Unlike others, AH was able to successfully get my mother to bathe, dress herself properly, take walks and engage in activities. They also cared for her partner, affording him a peaceful and dignified passing. Working with Brett, Kira and others was an absolute pleasure. The communication was flawless, particularly given that I live in Alaska and my mother was residing in Virginia I cannot express our family’s gratitude for AH; their services were priceless."
"Assisting Hands is very responsive to the needs of our loved one. Their aides are caring and knowledgeable."
"This is a great service. I needed assistance for a few weeks after surgery and found this service through my surgeon’s office. It was genius! I was surprised that more people don’t use this service when recovering from surgery. Assisting hands is for anyone who needs help whether it is for a short period of time after surgery or for a longer period of time. Working with Brett and his team is easy. Brett is professional and the team is very accessible. He will find a care provider who will work well with you. I refer Assisting hands to friends who may need assistance for whatever reason and they find having the extra help takes the stress off of the family and themselves during an already stressful time."
