What Our Families and Seniors Are Saying

My twice weekly scheduled visits with Seniors Helping Seniors started about ten months ago after my daughter, who is well known in the area, suggested that I might enjoy getting out and about around town. I live independently and no longer drive, so our local lunches out together is a welcome pleasure for me. If groceries or other errands are needed, Seniors drives me there too. I very much look forward to our social visits and conversations now and — I’m so grateful for the careful and thoughtful attention given to me by Seniors Helping Seniors. It's a good feeling to have.

My goal to remain healthy and as active as possible in my own home is more like a partnership now with Seniors Helping Seniors since I have 24/7 coverage. The flexibility and different personalities of my Seniors team creates interesting experiences in my comfortable well-run household. I value their timely reminders as we make lists, shop, run errands, respond to emails, and fulfill appointments. Seniors coordinates my daily activities and routines into a productive interactive schedule that I oversee, thus allowing time for completing crossword puzzles, enjoying a good game of scrabble and having friends drop in. I welcome the Seniors’ attention to details, their prompting, and cooperative spirit on my behalf.

I live in a senior living community where levels of continuous care, meals and activities are provided. This meets my current needs, however I enjoy participating in all family/holiday celebrations and gift giving milestones that takes a personal hands-on approach. It is then that I call Seniors Helping Seniors who provide the transportation and quality assistance in helping me complete my ‘to do’ list. Simply put, I’m grateful for Seniors’ kind interactive spirit, local knowledge and their ability to utilize a handicap sticker and car cane while fulfilling my needs and enhancing my days socially.

My dad was a career military man so its known that he likes his routines and affairs orderly and on time. Seniors Helping Seniors arrive at our home early and starts his day with a good breakfast and friendly uplifting conversation … he says that each day feels like family have come to visit. As for me, Seniors Helping Seniors has changed my life! The folks who come here are outstanding. What a gift to have peace of mind when I go off to work. I cannot thank our Seniors team enough for all of the extras they help us with – we are very grateful to welcome Seniors each day.

In-home visits from Seniors Helping Seniors enable me to live independently within my own apartment in an active senior community. With their scheduled support I now have the freedom to enjoy my day as desired. My Seniors team is dependable and willingly undertakes whatever task they are asked to do. It is especially helpful to receive reminders for scheduled community activities so that events are attended and enjoyed (not missed) as well as planning evening dining and social options. Utilizing Seniors Helping Seniors has worked well for me and I appreciate their kindly assistance.

Excellent service

I so hoped that I could count on SENIORS HELPING SENIORS for support during the Covid-19 pandemic. It seemed the world had stopped with the Coronavirus, but when I called the SENIORS office for transportation, they reaffirmed ‘that they were willing and able to assist me.’ At the time, there were so many global unknowns... the thought of even going into a hospital (for a needed test) was very overwhelming and frightening. Before SENIORS arrived at my scheduled time, their protocols mandated that my pleasant and prompt driver had a fever check, face mask on, gloves available, etc. It was such a comfort and relief during uncertain times to have a SENIOR so prepared and helpful ... a ‘real Angel’ to my rescue. I praise SENIORS (as does my grateful husband) for having become a partner in my health and safety. Thank you for being there for us when times are so challenging.

My Mom was starting to have problems living by herself after she hit 92. Mystic SHS did a great job at providing her with help and companionship so she could stay in her home.

We would definitely use their services again should the need arise
