Hi there, my name is Melissa Blais and I am the owner/operator of Helping Hands. I first want to thank our wonderful clients that have put their care in our hands. We wouldn't be here without all of you!
I started this business in 2019. I was a healthcare professional for 20+ years but I wanted to do more. Knowing that our healthcare system wasn't doing enough because of staffing issues and a lack of services for our seniors, I came up with an idea and ran with it. I started by setting up visits and presentations at every personal care home and senior living facilities that would have me, all throughout the city. I would bring a few snacks, my brochures and my smile!
I met so many wonderful people and got a few calls later on for more information on our services. I started small with just a few clients then later grew to having numerous care workers helping people all throughout the city and surrounding areas.
Now we have built a name and reputation as being the most reliable and trustworthy private senior care service around!
I really just wanted to help make life as easy and stress free as possible for our families and we vow to maintain the highest standards in personal care and quality of life for our clients.
We will ensure ongoing support, communication and follow-up training with our care providers as needed and all employees are subject to extensive background and criminal record checks, as well as up to date First Aid and CPR certification
We are located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Helping Hands acknowledges that we are gathered on ancestral lands, Treaty 1 territory, traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
