History
Established in 2012.
Marina Ramirez, owner and founder of Assisting Hands, gained first-hand understanding of the difficulties of taking care of an aging parent when her mother passed away and she and her sisters became the primary caretakers of their father. He had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and after several difficult years eventually succumbed to the ravages of this disease. At the same time, she saw her mother in law struggling for many years to take care of her husband, who suffered from Parkinson’s. These heartfelt experiences made Marina realize the need for quality for in-home care for the elderly and moved her to create Assisting Hands Palm Beach.
