Molly personifies what makes Hired Hands Homecare different!

Posted on April 8th, by Mark Winter in Caregivers, Home Care Staff, Testimonials. No Comments

Senior care is an extremely rewarding but challenging field to be in.  We’re dealing with all sorts of people on a daily basis.   Our outstanding Management Team communicates constantly with our dedicated Caregivers.  We work closely with the senior we are assisting, as well as their family, community partners, and medical team to make sure everything is going according to plan.  We’re very proud of our reputation of closely managing our cases, but sometimes, things don’t go exactly the way they are supposed to.

With all those variables, occasionally we get thrown a curve ball or two.  This week was a good example.  Early in the week, we ran into a situation with a client where their medical supplies had not been properly delivered.   That evening, after 9 pm, our On-Call Coordinator was notified that the Client did not have ample supplies on … Read More »



Amazing Santa Rosa Senior Care Story

Posted on March 1st, by Mark Winter in Aging, Homecare, Sonoma Elder Care, Testimonials. No Comments

Jim had his second stroke at the age of 61.  It was devastating, but Jim was strong, was surrounded by family, and had a great sense of humor.  Jim was determined to “dive into the deep end” if that was what it would take to get his life back!

Jim’s wife approached Hired Hands in the Spring of 2015.  We would provide a broad range of services to assist Jim in his rehabilitation and recuperation.  Not only did we provide home care services at his home in Santa Rosa, but also at the Santa Rosa Junior College, where he attended conditioning and swimming classes, and speech therapy.   Quite a daily challenge, but Jim was determined… and making great progress!

Today, we received the following note.  After an amazing amount of hard work, Jim has overcome his obstacles, and regained his independence.  It has been … Read More »



What Really Makes Us Different…

Posted on September 4th, by Mark Winter in Home Care Staff, Homecare, Pleasanton Senior Care, Testimonials. No Comments

At Hired Hands, we truly take great pride in not only what we do, but equally important, HOW we do it.  As time goes on, there will continue to be more and more options for senior care.  We’re firmly committed to being among the best options in the communities that we serve.

This morning, we received the following accolade from a new client in the Tri-Valley area.  As their family has been dealing with the challenges of caring for a loved one, they have run into several obstacles and less than ideal situations with different care providers.  Needless to say, their compliment put a definite smile on our faces!

“First and foremost, Thank YOU.  You and your team have brought faith back to  this journey we are on.  It didn’t just start with the last agency that let us down.  It has not been pleasant … Read More »

What Beautiful Blessing

Posted on May 5th, by Mark Winter in Hospice Assistance, Testimonials. No Comments

I just got off the phone with the family of one of our clients, Sylvia B, who passed away this past Saturday. They were overwhelmed by the quality of home care service we provided to Sylvia in her final days. The daughter said she had no idea people like this still exist in the world. “What beautiful blessing!” They asked me to extend their sincere and heartfelt gratitude to: Yoanne, Aisha, Maude, Jane, Mirna, Diana, Marcelina, Emily, and Phoenix for all the work you did to ease the pain, create security, and ease the anxiety for Sylvia. The family said you are all angels. They remembered each of your names specifically.

Thank you for making such a significant impact during such a difficult time.
