Napa Caregiver of the Month January 2015

Wendy is super compassionate and really committed to Hired Hands and her clients. She has a history of making herself available when we need help at the last minute, which is extremely appreciated!   She is very dedicated to her clients and revolves around their particular needs. Not only is she extremely flexible, but she has a wide variety of skills, and is particularly well versed at working with seniors in dementia and hospice settings.



Delicious!

It’s that time of year where a warm & tasty bowl of healthy soup just soothes the soul!  This recipe is quick and easy, and can be adapted easily to suit particular tastes.  On top of that… The Health Quotient is high, and the calorie count pretty low.  Give it a try, and let us know what you think!



Safety FIRST!

Caregivers perform an amazing variety of tasks on a daily basis.  Client’s needs and demands vary, and we very much appreciate your hard work.  We understand that it keeps you very busy.  So busy, that sometimes you may forget fundamental safety work practices. Thus, we wanted to provide some simple information especially for you so that you can refresh, learn and work safely each and every day.

“I have a dream that one day, this nation will rise up and live our the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self -evident, that all men are created equal.’”  ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In celebration of the great Dr. King, our offices will be closed on Monday, Jan. 19, 2015.

Need assistance with ADLs in Mill Valley?  Need help with Dad and his dementia in Santa Rosa?  Do you know a senior who needs care in Pleasanton?  Even though our offices are closed on Monday, our On-call Coordinator can be reached at 707-799-3200.

Hired Hands Helping Others

Posted on January 6th, by Mark Winter in Caregivers, Hired Hands News, Homecare, Marin, Napa. No Comments

Every day, hundreds of people throughout the Bay Area go hungry.  This Holiday Season, we reached out to those around us, accepting gracious donations toward local Food Banks.  After all, every little bit helps!

In Marin, our office connected with the SF/Marin Food Bank.  More information can be found at www.sfmfoodbank.org.  In Napa, our partner was the Napa Valley Food Bank.  In Sonoma, we joined with the Redwood Empire Food Bank (www.refb.org).  In the Pleasanton/Tri-Valley area, we worked with Open Heart Kitchen (www.OpenHeartKitchen.org).

A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to all of the amazing folks that were so generous in their contributions!   Our collective donations far exceeded our expectations, and we’re proud to reach out and help others in our communities!

Much Thanks and Happy New Year!
The Hired Hands Homecare Team
