Emeli and Ana are the Dream Team!

Posted on June 23rd, by Mark Winter in Caregiver Careers, Caregivers, OUR Caregivers. No Comments

Please join us in congratulating Emeli as our Caregiver of the Month for May and Ana as our Caregiver of the month for June!

Emeli and Ana are currently our Live-In team for our client Darlene.  We recently got a chance to surprise them together as they were doing a shift change, and Darlene was so pleased to share in the celebration of her “Dream Team” as she refers to them.  Believe us… Emeli and Ana are truly just that- a DREAM TEAM!

Emeli and Ana have both REALLY raised the bar with the care they provide 24/7.  When we started providing assistance to Darlene, she had rather severe ambulation challenges, and was unsure if she would be able to walk again. As of a month ago, Darlene has made amazing progress and is now able to walk around the house with … Read More »

What an important time it is… Let’s Celebrate!

June is a special time of year for so many different reasons!  First, the whole month celebrates Pride.  Around the globe, we join the LGBTQ community to celebrate their impact, progress, and acceptance.

Secondly, let’s raise our glasses to the Grads and Dads!  Whether its Pre-school or Grad School… we toast these important educational milestones, and all the hard work it took to get there!  Great job GRADS… and best of luck in your next chapter!  And to all the DADS… our heartfelt THANKS for your patience, support, and guidance over all these years!  Happy Father’s Day – we wouldn’t be here without you!

And lastly, on Monday, June 19, we celebrate Juneteenth, to commemorate the emancipation of slaves in the US.  Let us all applaud African American freedom and achievement, and encourage self-development, respect … Read More »



Katarina is So Sweet!

Please join us in congratulating Katarina as our most recent Caregiver of the Month!

We have had the distinct pleasure of working with Katarina for over three and a half years now.  In that time, not only has she been amazing with a number of our Clients, but she has also enjoyed working here so much that she has referred multiple family to join our team!  Nice!  We consider it a HUGE compliment when our employees are so happy, that they refer us to their own friends and family!

Recently, Katarina was has been working with Pat, one of our long-time clients, and has been doing an outstanding job!  Typically, Pat has chosen to keep to her room, and not leave for any reason.   Within a week, Katarina was able to change that with her sweet and soft-spoken nature. Katarina is now … Read More »

Siteri is a True Gift!

Posted on May 5th, by Mark Winter in OUR Caregivers. No Comments

All of us at Hired Hands are ecstatic to acknowledge Siteri as our most recent Caregiver of the Month!  Siteri is pictured here with our wonderful client Suki. Siteri has an amazing calm and caring demeanor when interacting Suki, which really makes the day go nicely!

We’re quite happy that Siteri was very pleased to receive this award and recognition. When she first started with us, she said she was nervous to make a change to our Team because she didn’t know anyone that worked here.  That didn’t last long, and Siteri now states that joining HH was the best decision she has ever made!

Hey Siteri, what do you have to say for yourself ?..

“Hired Hands is like family to me and the clients are an extension of that family. I have worked for other agencies and companies but never one as … Read More »

The team at Hired Hands Homecare is proud to recognize Julianne as our most recent Caregiver of the Month!  We have actually only had the opportunity to work with Julianne for about five months so far, but in that short time, she has proven to be quite a star!  In fact, one of her most compelling talents is to WOW some of our most particular clients!  Her amazing smile and personality seem to be able to win just about anyone over… and we greatly enjoy working with her.  In fact, Ms. H, one of our MOST particular clients recently commented that Julianne is the Best of the Best, and thanked us profusely for finding her a perfect match.

Congratulations Julianne – it is a pleasure to work with you, and thanks for all you do!
