Assisting Hands Home Care has opened an in-home caregiving operation in Bellevue. Adrian Reeder is the franchise owner.

The company will serve the need for non-medical caregiving services provided to seniors, the disabled and temporarily bedridden in Bellevue and the Eastside. The office is located at 1800 136th Place, Suite 214.

Reeder and his family have experienced first-hand the need for such services. Their interest for in-home care giving began with a neighbor who lived alone with no close relatives.

“Helping her really opened our eyes and showed us the value and need of such services,” said Reeder. “This turned into such a special experience for us that we became her surrogate children.”

According to census bureau statistics, demand for such services continues to grow as 10,000 people reach the age of 65 everyday in the United States.

Assisting Hands Bellevue provides non-medical services such as, but are not limited to: personal care, bathing, dressing, companionship, exercise and mobility assistance, medication reminders and assistance, meal planning and preparation (including specialized diets), transportation and errands, coordination of social activities, light housekeeping and laundry.
