She contributes her ideas and her skills to make our situation better. She is an active participant who interests herself in my husband's interests so that she can share them. In every way, Seniors Helping Seniors has truly met and exceeded our expectations."
I second [the recommendation of] this organization [and] their Home Care and Companionship model, matching people really nicely and well with a senior who can help them and care for them.” - Margie Hackett, Manager of Population Health and Transitional Care, Suburban Hospital
"Seniors Helping Seniors has been a godsend to me. The head of the agency visited me at home to review my needs; he was professional and caring. A caretaker assigned to me and my husband has performed multiple roles which have provided immense help to us. This person is very intelligent with excellent organizational and communication skills, and has quickly improved our quality of life. The agency is flexible and responsive to any needs."
“I am able to sleep well for the first time in ages knowing that Roderick is caring for my father. He is attentive and very enthusiastic about his duties.”
“Seniors Helping Seniors was invaluable to our family, immediately springing into action and providing care when we needed to fill holes in the schedule of care for a family member being treated for cancer. The person sent was such a welcome presence in our family's life, and we are grateful for the wonderful job he did. Ben was hands on with calls and emails, nailing down a schedule that worked, straightforward about pricing and payment, and just generally easy and delightful to deal with (which was especially appreciated during a tough time). Luckily our family member made a full recovery, and we wouldn't hesitate to call Ben again if the need arose.”
“Seniors Helping Seniors transformed my view of what an agency like this could be. Never previously having needed to engage with an elder care service, I was reluctant when my aging mother first needed support in her home after a hospitalization several months ago. What my family and I found was an amalgam of competence, expertise, reliability, responsiveness, warmth, and an incredibly personal touch. This has been a blessing. As Mom now needs more services, SHS and its amazing leader, Ben Chernow, have provided support every step of the way. And his team is helping us begin the likely transition to assisted living in the future. Kudos and gratitude!”
