My husband and I enlisted the services of Assisting Hands nearly two years ago when we were in town…read morevisiting my mother and father for a party. Although we are only 3 hours away, we realized during that visit, three hours was way too far to effectively take care of Mom and Dad. Mom has always taken care of everything for Dad. My father has Parkinson's disease. It wasn't until this last visit that my husband and I could clearly see just how badly an extra set of hands was needed for my father's care. We interviewed three Home Health Agencies and without a shadow of a doubt, the entire family chose Assisting Hands. Not only were they competitive from a price standpoint, they were one of the few companies with the credentials we were looking for. We even met the caregivers who would be working with mom and dad before we had to leave to head home! I talk to Linda (Mom and Dad's Caregiver) nearly every night and she feels like a member of our family. I haven't seen Mom and Dad this happy in a very long time. Linda, Mom and Dad, go on outings, the house looks great, mom and dad are well taken care of and my husband and I are actually sleeping at night without worry! I love Assisting Hands and we have sent everyone we know struggling with similar situations to Assisting Hands!

I can't thank Assisting Hands and their staff enough for stepping in to care for my parents when my…read morewife and I relocated out of state. We had the biggest decision of our lives, accept a job that would be an unbelievable opportunity for my wife, the kids and I, or turn down the opportunity to stay in Ohio with Mom and Dad. My parents were excited for us and the new possibilities our my career decision could give my family, but they were in denial about how much care my wife and I were providing by living a block away. Dad suffered a stroke in 2010 and his physical condition had really limited the things he could do. Mom never had a driver's license so my wife took them everywhere during the day and in the evenings, I was responsible for transportation. We never minded caring for them; it became second nature for all of us. I saw a commercial for Assisting Hands Home Care and it felt like the commercial and their services were reaching straight out to us! It was as through the stars were aligned and I was meant to see that on TV. It was on a Saturday but I called the number. I couldn't believe, I actually got a live person who had the ability to come out within a few hours of the call and coordinate a complete plan with all of us. The owner even called me herself later that evening and we talked for almost an hour. We had two weeks to get into temporary housing for my new job yet we had everything figured out within 24 hours. Mom and dad were somewhat resistant but after meeting their caregiver, it was like this was just the way things were meant to be. Although we are further away, wither my wife or myself manages to come up one weekend a month to stay with my parents. They look better than when we were taking care of most of their needs. Although we didn't know it at the time, I think the stress and large responsibility weighed on all of us when it was my wife and I as the sole care takers and in turn, my parents had so much guilt but knew deep down then needed us. Assisting Hands has given us all peace of mind and comfort in their services! I love the company, love what they do and would recommend their services to anyone who needs the help!

The majority of care was done by family with the caregivers providing little more than babysitting services. Our mother experienced a debilitating fall and later a stroke.

I got a call at 3am saying they found my mom in the hallway and they were calling the ambulance. My mom has a fractured hip as a result of their negligence and she needs surgery as a result. My mom was there to recover and get stronger so that she could come home. Instead she left there sicker (she also left the Laurels with pneumonia and RSV) and injured so badly that surgery is required. This is a nursing facility, supposably with trained professionals. BASIC SAFETY should be a given and family shouldn't have to repeatedly remind them to do their job and to keep their patients safe!!!

This place is the absolute worst. Quite literally what I'd imagine going to hell is like when one…read moredies. If you are conscious & know what day of the week it is, you do not belong here as a patient. Luckily, I was able to escape after one evening of living hell. If you do not plan on leaving here in a body bag, you do not belong here. Quite contrary to their website, this nursing home is not an environment for short-term rehab following a surgical procedure or hospital stay. I REPEAT: this nursing home is NOT an environment for short-term rehab following a surgical procedure or hospital stay. This is a home for end-of-life care or those needing long-term care such as patients with dementia or memory issues. I had the displeasure of an approximately 18 hour stay here post-ankle surgery in August. Unfortunately, this was my choice due to the erroneous Marketing on their website. Please do not make the same mistake that I did. I was in need of short-term institutionalized nursing care due to being non-weightbearing for 12 weeks post-op ankle fusion & foot reconstruction. My mother had planned to be with me during the first few weeks but suddenly was unable to come to Ohio to care for me due to an injury herself. My insurance company and the hospital offered this as a possibility along with other local facilities for me before transitioning to caring for myself. I did my due diligence and took a look at The Laurels' ratings on https://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare & chose this location being central to those who would be visiting me during my stay. The Laurels of Worthington receives decent marks from Medicare, but as stated before, this institution markets itself as several types of care facilities under one roof. In fact, as I sadly discovered, it's only good at maintaining the lives of comatose individuals. I was placed in a room with a women who complained of respiratory symptoms, believing she had pneumonia. What a great match for someone just out of surgery! There were no safety bars in my bathroom. Thankfully I was able to maneuver on and off my knee scooter with a towel bar. I was literally a ghost at this facility for the time I spent there. Seeing my roommate receive unsolicited help, I wondered why I had to call for meds and wait sometimes up to an hour for someone to come. She was automatically changed for bed in the evening and cleaned & dressed in the morning. No one came for me. They didn't even bring me dinner or breakfast until I spoke up to a staff member taking my roommates empty tray away. This is why I was here--I needed help--and quickly realized I'd be better off on my own at home. This facility reeks of excrement, televisions are on 24/7 blaring FOX News and several of the patients spent the evening roaming the halls groaning & screaming. Again, this is a facility for dementia patients and should not be advertised as a rehabilitation center. They're barely keeping people alive here. I was afraid I'd be in for worse than I was if I stayed. Another thing that needs to be said, contrary to their website, there is no doctor on-site or apparently even on-call. During my brief stay my prescriptions that accompanied me from the hospital were filled in their pharmacy, yet when I decided to leave the next day I was unable to take the prescription or medication with me and was told the facility's "Medical Director" would write the remainder of my meds for me on Monday when he was in. This was a lie on behalf of Jason & his nursing staff. I left their facility knowing I'd have to be approximately 72 hours without pain medications after an ankle fusion and foot reconstruction surgery, but as stated before, the fear and stress of being at The Laurels produced adrenaline in me that gave me the willingness to deal with the pain rather than stay. When I called on Monday when "the doctor was in," I was now told by Jason that since it was my decision to leave, I was not entitled to the remainder of my prescriptions. Horseshit. Thankfully, my orthopedic surgeon's PA was able to help me get what I needed and is now aware of the situation at The Laurels. Abby, the "Marketing Director," gave me her business card upon admission and told me I could call for whatever reason. I've called her and left her messages that I'd like to speak with her. No response. Zero stars. Please don't go here.
