Assisting Hands – Boston Northwest

Assisting Hands Boston Northwest provides non-medical, in-home care that helps seniors and others needing support stay safe and comfortable at home in Lexington and nearby communities north and west of Boston. Trained caregivers and personal assistants help with companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, and personal care such as bathing and dressing. They also provide transportation for appointments, shopping and errands, and can handle grocery shopping.

The office follows its Thriving at Home approach, designed to keep clients healthier and prevent unneeded hospital trips through tailored, closely coordinated care. Assisting Hands is a franchise company founded by Dr. Gail Silverstein, who has more than 25 years of experience leading health care programs and started the business after struggling to find help at home for her own father.
