Wolfgang Willems, owner of Assisting Hands Home Care in Frisco, will present to a self-support group on Aug. 11 at the Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation in Frisco. The session will focus on managing fatigue, a common symptom that often persists after formal rehabilitation ends.

Willems noted that families frequently leave the hospital with extensive paperwork but lack guidance on the long-term realities of recovery. He stated that his presentations aim to bridge that gap by explaining what daily life looks like months after a stroke. "Someone has to help translate that into what actually happens on a Tuesday afternoon three months later," Willems said.

"That is the piece we focus on, in the presentations and in the care we provide."

Assisting Hands Home Care specializes in stroke recovery services for residents of Frisco, Plano, Allen, Little Elm, Prosper, Richardson, Carrollton, and Dallas. The agency provides non-medical home care ranging from a few hours weekly to 24-hour live-in support. Caregivers receive specialized training to assist with mobility, medication management, meal preparation, and cognitive changes.

They work alongside a client’s existing medical team rather than replacing professional therapists.

Stroke recovery often involves ongoing challenges with balance, speech, memory, and strength long after hospital discharge. The agency’s program is designed to address these needs by helping families recognize fall risks and maintain therapy routines at home. Willems also visits senior centers, libraries, and community groups across Collin and Denton County to discuss stroke recovery with families.

The agency was founded by Wolfgang and Anja Willems. It offers additional services including Alzheimer’s and dementia care, post-surgery support, elder care, and veteran home care. Groups interested in hosting a presentation or requesting in-home care services can contact the office directly. Free care assessments are available by calling (214) 609-1340.
