- (1888PressRelease) October 12, 2010 - Today marks the eighth anniversary of Ready Hands Home Care, a private duty agency providing personal care, household services and safety supervision to clients throughout Northern Virginia. Founded in 2002 by a physician with extensive experience working with seniors, Ready Hands works to deliver accountable, high quality home care assistance to its many clients.
Ready Hands' home care workers are all Certified Nurse Aides for whom the company assumes all obligations of employment, such as payroll taxes, worker's compensation insurance, liability coverage and bonding. Other agencies often use independent contractors in order to escape these obligations. Such "registries" or "1099 companies" leave consumers with obligations and risks they may not anticipate.
Ready Hands opened its second office, located in Manassas, Virginia, in late 2009. The company has grown each year since its inception, recently surpassing 18,000 hours of service in one month. The company continues its unflagging attention to meeting or exceeding the needs of its clients, prompting wide acclamation from clients, families and eldercare professionals alike.
Typical of the notes sent by numerous clients is the following: "I would like to thank you for the capable services of Ready Hands at a time when we needed more than one pair of hands. The Ready Hands companion who cared for my 90 year-old Aunt H. was gentle, patient, kind, knowledgeable, considerate and loving. She read to her, listened to her stories, accompanied her to meals, helped her dress and provided companionship. She was always prompt and reliable. She kept a running diary for us, so that we could exchange information and share H.'s activities and needs. On one occasion, the companion even took some of H.'s pants home to hem them for her! It was very comforting to know that the Ready Hands companion was there, and that H. was well-cared for in our absence."
Ready Hands is licensed by the Virginia Department of Health as a home care organization, which conveys numerous protections for consumers.
