A Brand Built on Compassion and Independence

Assisting Hands Home Care was founded with a simple but powerful purpose: to provide a better alternative for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and others who need extra assistance to remain at home.

Co-founder Dr. Gail Silverstein experienced firsthand the challenges of finding quality in-home assistance for her father. Recognizing a gap in available services, she joined Cline Waddell in Boise, Idaho, in 2006 to establish a home care company focused on personalized service, independence, and peace of mind.

Today, Assisting Hands continues that mission by helping clients receive the support they need, whether for a few hours a week or around-the-clock care. Franchise owners have the opportunity to make a lasting difference in their communities while building a business centered on helping others.

Why the Home Care Industry?

America's aging population is creating an ongoing need for dependable in-home care services. As more baby boomers enter their senior years, families are increasingly seeking solutions that allow loved ones to maintain their independence and quality of life at home.

The need for home care extends well beyond seniors. Individuals recovering from injuries, people managing illnesses or disabilities, and families requiring temporary assistance can also benefit from personalized support.

Assisting Hands serves this broad range of needs, positioning franchise owners to provide valuable services to individuals and families throughout their communities.
