Seniors Helping Seniors

We were appointed power of attorney for our elderly neighbours. Seniors helping Seniors were employed for a short time on a few days a week at first. Sadly, the husband passed away after 2 strokes in January and his wife has early stage Alzheimers, so the daily hours were considerably increased to 6 /7 hours daily (4/2 per day). There was one main carer who attended for 66% of the time, supplemented by 3 other ladies. We cannot speak highly enough of any of the carers. They were all highly professional and friendly. The main carer not only spent time with our neighbour but also worked extremely hard cleaning, cooking , even shopping and on occasions taking our neighbour out. All carers showed great compassion but also had experience of dementia and were firm when necessary. It is an invaluable service.

We have used Seniors Helping Seniors for at least 2 years now for my parents. The care and service we have seen is excellent and my parents have benefited from the visits. They look forward to seeing the lady who supports them once a week.

Seniors Helping Seniors have been supporting my father for nearly 2 years. My dad has Alzheimers and lives alone in Canterbury, I live in London which naturally presents challenges. The service that the team at Seniors Helping Seniors has been amazing, always going above and beyond what you would or could expect; it feels like they are really "looking out" for my father and have been invaluable in the various crisis we have had over the last 18 months. Dad talks about his regular carer as a friend that visits; it's this level and continuity of care that has been key to being able to keep dad living in his own home as long as we have; this was his biggest wish.

Signing up to this befriender service was efficient, quick and easy. My mum's befriender was picked as she shared some of her interests. She was a perfect match and they get on very well. My mum really looks forward to her visit.

My mother is reluctantly accepting that she needs a bit of help with everyday things, but the relationships she is slowly building with her two companions are strengthening and she definitely gets more out of the visits every time. I have been impressed with the efficiency and flexibility of the organisation and am very pleased to have found it.

This agency is very well run and the manager and his staff are endlessly helpful, going the extra mile to provide the best care possible. I am very happy to recommend them and have already done so on numerous occasions. I hope to continue using them as long as I require this help.

We rely on this service to tend a relative with no immediate family living in the UK. They are our lifeline to our loved one and the care she receives. Brilliant model with seniors visiting seniors but also with determining the compatibility of carer to the client. The communication between carer and family is very professional but also very warm. We feel blessed to have been put in contact with such a network of committed, capable and caring people and we know that our relative’s quality of life is enhanced remarkably by the service. We cannot thank Seniors Helping Seniors enough for the peace of mind they have given us.

Now would seem to be a good time to say thank-you, Christian, to you and your people for all that you've done for us this year. When, in March, my mother finally conceded that her advancing Alzheimer's had finally became too much for her to continue with any real independence, my hope was that we could give her one more summer at home in her beloved garden, in her beloved village. Whilst there have been many anxious moments along the way we have together managed to achieve that, and we absolutely could not have done it without you all. Thank you to Simone for her patience early on acclimatising Mum to the reality of her new life. Thank you to Catherine for explaining a few things early on that I might never have worked out by myself. Thank you to Eileen for being readily available when sudden changes were needed. Finally, our profound thanks to Viktoriya for the uncomplaining way that she has allowed our needs to take over her life this year, always there on the end of the phone when we needed insights into Mum's behaviour, shopping lists, reminders etc, and patiently distracting Mum from her inevitable increasing depression, just for an hour or two each day. It made a real difference, not only to Mum, but to all of us in the family too, both near and far. From our point of view, it has made our lives so much easier to have a single, instant point of contact with her care regime, I just hope that it hasn't taken it out of you too much.

I dropped a mission on Senior Helping Seniors this week, and I am a new client! It was an emergency. They took on the challenge and have just sent me the rota for next week's cover for my father. Thank you so much!

We found Sally and Christian to be very approachable and easy to talk to from the start of our initial enquiry about Seniors Helping Seniors. They have a very open and transparent approach which is refreshing. The training was comprehensive and well structured, yet adaptable to one's level of business experience and, having owned and operated the Seniors Helping Seniors business themselves from its inception in the UK, both Christian and Sally were able to train on many different scenarios drawn from their own first hand experiences. Ongoing training and support is on hand and just a phone call or Zoom meeting away. Christian and Sally are motivated to assist their franchisees to build their businesses, as Seniors Helping Seniors becomes one of the leading elderly care providers in the South East of England. We would be happy to (and have done so) recommend the Seniors Helping Seniors Franchise to anyone looking for a rewarding business and making a difference to the lives of the elderly.

Our carers are very caring and have been fantastic with mum. There were times when I don't know what we would have done without your assistance. This has been a very difficult time for us and I want to say how happy we have been with the services provided by the carers and Seniors Helping Seniors management throughout. Average rating: 5/5.
