Working with Senior Helpers has been such a breath of fresh air. From the first meeting with Journey I knew we were in good hands! She made my step dad and family all feel so comfortable, was knowledgable and even took the time to look at my step dads situation holistically and address all areas of his well being, even planning for some outings to do things he enjoys doing! This is something that without our caregivers we would never be able to do. Dwonna is responsive when we have questions or want to make changes to the schedule. All the care staff that we have had to our home has done a great job. I highly recommend Senior Helpers to anyone who is looking for the gold standard of care.
