FORT WORTH January 29, 2014 – To meet the needs of North Central Texas’ aging population, Assisting Hands Home Care has opened in Fort Worth. It serves Tarrant, Johnson, Parker and Denton counties. Assisting Hands Home Care Fort Worth West is owned and operated by Kim Beveridge. It is located at 8851 Camp Bowie West, Fort Worth, Texas 76116, and the phone number is (817) 832-8693. It was Beveridge’s personal experience caring for family members that led to opening an in-home caregiving company. “My wife’s grandfather had cancer, and we moved him into our home,” said Beveridge, owner of Assisting Hands Fort Worth West. “My father suffered with dementia, so I learned first-hand the demands of caregiving.” Beveridge said he chose Assisting Hands for several reasons. “What I like best is the support Assisting Hands provides to franchise owners,” said Beveridge. “I also like the fact that Assisting Hands’ co- founder and chief executive officers are fellow Boy Scouts.” In the Boy Scout spirit, Assisting Hands chief executive officer Lane Kofoed and Beveridge recently hiked the Grand Canyon. “We learned a lot as boy scouts, and we learned that in life sometimes you just have to keep marching forward and keep putting one foot in front of the other, said Kofoed. “The Rim to Rim Grand Canyon climb was incredibly difficult with ten miles down, ten miles across, and ten miles up. It was beautiful, scenic and amazing, but also very difficult and challenging as only one percent of the people that visit the Grand Canyon make it to the bottom.” A veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Beveridge benefited from Assisting Hands Home Care’s veteran’s incentive program, VetFran. Assisting Hands offers a 10 percent discount off the initial $35,000 franchise fee for a single unit. Regional developers are offered a five percent discount off the territory fee.
