It’s a pleasure to be able to tell you how much I appreciate “Helping Hands.” My husband and I have always done most of the housework ourselves, but now, in our 89th year, it has become more and more difficult. Irene, you sent us a lovely caregiver. Carol has done everything I’ve asked of her and we feel so much better when our house is clean and we’re not exhausted. She calls if she’s going to be late or needs to change a date. She’s a treasure. Your service is invaluable, not only to us seniors, but to people who are recovering from surgery or a serious illness.”

“Helping Hands Chore Service really came to my rescue when I was no longer able to do my own grocery shopping. It’s always been difficult for me to ask anyone for assistance because I feel like I’m being a burden. Sommer, my caregiver, is great. She’s so efficient and I completely trust her judgment. She’s always cheerful when she performs her tasks and is a pleasure to work with. My worries about how I was going to do my shopping are a thing of the past, thank goodness. I now have peace of mind again. Thanks so much Helping Hands!”

“Thank you so much for the difference you have made in my life. I am a relatively-active 60-ish lady and there are some housekeeping things I can’t do, like vacuum, lifting, chopping vegetables. Last year was a hard year for me and I was not well. That’s when someone mentioned HH’s to me. My helper and I are well-matched and I look forward to her visits. We accomplish 4X what I could do myself. Karen has the sweetest personality and we have fun. Having my home well-maintained helped my outlook. It also frees me up to focus on the work God has given me to do at this stage of my life with a refreshed attitude. God bless you all!”
