Providing Peace of Mind With Our Service Pledge

We believe professionalism is more than a promise, it’s the daily standard we hold ourselves to, in service to you and your loved ones. We know that inviting a caregiver into your home is an act of trust, and we take that to heart. We also know we’re human. We might not get everything right the first time. Our promise it to always listen, learn and improve because your trust means everything to us.

Our Commitment To Your Family

Should you feel that our service falls short of this pledge, simply let us know within 24 hours of the visit. If your experience doesn’t reflect the level of care and support we share in this pledge to you, we want to make it right. That’s why we’re willing to waive up to 100% of the visit.

In the words of our Owner, we’ll simply ask,

“What happened, and how can we make it better for tomorrow?”

-Allen Serfas, President & Co-Founder of Assistance Home Care
