WHY TENDER HAND
Why Tender Hand
Led by DSPs & Nurses.Run like a family.
At most agencies, you're a name on a schedule. Tender Hand is small and family-owned on purpose — the people who run it answer the phone, know your name, and remember what matters to you.
You're led by people who've done this work themselves — DSPs first, with nurses on the team for the health side. When a day gets hard, you have real backup from someone who's been in exactly that moment.

STORIES FROM OUR TEAM
In their
words.
"The best part of this work is knowing that the little things matter. A familiar face, a calm voice, a meal prepared the way someone likes it — those moments build trust. At THHS, I'm encouraged to slow down, listen, and care for each person as an individual."
— Karen, DSP | Community Supports
"Caregiving is not only about helping someone complete a task. It is about protecting their dignity and helping them feel confident in their own home and community. THHS gives me the support and training to provide care that feels personal, respectful, and dependable."
— Bola, DSP | Social Planning
