A Day in the Life of a Caregiver

In the simplest terms, a caregiver is a person who provides care for another. When it comes to our team, caregivers play a vital role. Our caregivers are the driving force for positively improving the lives of seniors in our community. They make a direct impact in providing care to seniors who wish to age in the safety and comfort of their home instead of an assisted living facility, an independent living facility, a senior living community, or a nursing home.

Every client will have different needs that they require assistance with, but we make sure to match our clients and caregivers for the optimal fit. Care provided could include activities of daily living (ADLs) such as grooming, eating, walking, bathing, and other self‑care tasks. It could also include assisting with fun hobbies and games that a client enjoys.

We are an independently owned and operated Senior Helpers franchised business. Through its franchisees, Senior Helpers is the nation's premier provider of in‑home senior services ranging from specialized care for those with diseases, such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson's, to personal and companion care to help individuals looking for a little assistance with daily activities. Founded in 2002 with a vision to help seniors age with dignity despite age‑related illnesses and mobility challenges, Senior Helpers has over 400 combined franchised‑corporate store businesses that have cared for tens of thousands of seniors. Senior Helpers' culture is based on strong core values, recognition of achievements and respect.
