On the Cover: Finding the Right Care with Precious Hands Home Care Services

By Kristen Eleveld

“The precious gift of caregiving; that’s what we’re here to do.” These are the words Rolande Lauture, owner of Precious Hands Care Service, used to describe the business that was an answer to a calling placed on her life.

In August 2020, Rolande felt God was urging her to open her own home care business. At first, she was hesitant – everything about the year 2020 was fraught with uncertainty, and she already had a career. But, always willing to be faithful, she responded by telling God that if this was something He wanted her to do, then He had to show her the way, and she would follow. Rolande applied for a business permit from Georgia in 2020 and completed the process on her own, eventually leaving her full-time job to pursue this business.

“God said, ‘Trust Me, step by step, and I will lead you,’” said Rolande, who moved to Georgia from Haiti when she was thirty-five years old. “Even now, when I am not sure what to do, I call on the name of God and He always directs me.”

So, what does answering a call from God look like? For Rolande, it meant opening up a business centered on giving seniors and homebound people the guaranteed care and compassion they needed. From a young age, she had felt drawn to help people who could not help themselves. Precious Hands Home Care Services continues to reflect that desire as they work to create a relationship with each client and family she helps.

The process is simple: if you or a loved one need nursing care, personal home care, or companionship, you give the team at Precious Hands Home Care Services a call. They will set up a time to meet with you and learn more about what you need. Once you decide to move forward, a nurse will conduct a physical assessment to determine the best care level for you. From there, services begin as often as you need them. Some clients prefer a set schedule and time; others keep their services more flexible to suit their needs. Whatever your day looks like, the Precious Hands Home Care Services team can make it work. Their only requirement is that clients receive at least four hours of services per scheduled shift in the best way for you and your needs.

And when this team says they are available, they really mean it. Care is offered twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. During a last-minute emergency, a care team member is usually able to get to a client within four hours or less, meaning you won’t have to wait days to receive care if your other options have fallen through.

In Rolande’s mind, this is all part and parcel of treating others the way you would want your own loved ones to be treated.

“We want to provide each client the best care with love and compassion because it’s what we are in this world to do,” said Rolande. “We care for them like they were our own family.”
