Testimonials

We hired Helping Hands when my father just couldn’t do things for himself anymore. Helping Hands sent over a very nice caregiver that helped Dad with cooking, cleaning up, laundry etc.. They were more then happy to help. I would recommend Helping Hands to anyone who needs that little extra in order to stay at home.

Highly recommend Helping Hands of SW FL!!!! Melissa and her staff have been an amazing help! We found ourselves without enough time in our day and resources to provide all the needed care for my father in law and mother in law, as they required more care, the task became daunting. We wanted to make sure that they had only the BEST care and felt comfortable. We reached out to Helping Hands and could not be any more PLEASED with the level of care and service provided by them. From day one, we felt they truly cared for and about our family members. We have always been able to reach someone at Helping Hands with any questions, concerns, and advice regarding our parents. I’m so appreciative of Melissa and her staff, the peace of mind they have given us has been such a relief. I deeply thank everyone there for all they have done. Without a doubt, I recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care!

Thank you so much for the wonderful care you have given our parents over the last four years. You and your company, Helping Hands, are an absolute pleasure to work with! You treat us like family. We have been so lucky to find a great organization to help care for Mom & Dad. Thanks again!

My doctor told me that I needed to call for some respite help with my husband, he felt I was doing too much and was running myself down. He suggested I call Melissa at Helping Hands to find out my options. After meeting and speaking with her I decided to allow someone to come in and help with my husband so I could go out and shop and get a few errand done. So glad I did, not only was the caregiver compassionate, friendly and respectful, but I finally was able to go out and not be so worried about how my husband was doing.
