Today we’re proud to celebrate Vivian as our next Caregiver of the Month!

Vivian has just recently joined Hired Hands and we are so lucky to have her!  She’s a recent graduate and is pursuing a career in nursing.  From day one, she came in with such vibrance, enthusiasm and a strong desire to help others.  Vivian had no hesitation when I asked her if she would be willing to start with a high skill level client that we had an immediate need for.  She jumped right in with both feet and soaked up all of the tips and recommendations the care team offered her.  Every day she is going above and beyond and is making great progress and with her often challenging client.

Having Fun with Emergency Preparedness!

We had a great time yesterday supporting an informative and engaging Emergency Prep seminar presented by Emergency Prep Help.  This organization does an amazing job working throughout our community to prepare seniors for natural disasters and other emergencies.  Their program is extremely informative for seniors, and we fully support their philosophy that proper education and preparedness will be extremely beneficial should a wildfire or other natural disaster happen in our community.  More information and resources, as well as a schedule of future presentations, can be found at https://www.emergencyprephelp.org.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day – June 15

Wikipedia defines Elder abuse (also called “elder mistreatment“, “senior abuse“, “abuse in later life“, “abuse of older adults“) as “a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to an older person.”  Abuse can be physical, psychological/emotional, financial, or even sexual, and often comes in the form of neglect, abandonment, and direct abuse.

Since 1994, Hired Hands Homecare has proudly provided services that support Bay Area seniors in staying safe and well in their own homes.  Our professional Caregivers and Management Team spend significant time with our senior clients, and keep trained eyes out for any signs of undue influence and elder abuse.  Trust and Security are foundational to our company culture.

Hired Hands is proud to celebrate this day by participating in the North Bay … Read More »
