Senior Helpers

Everything has been wonderful so far with Senior Helpers. The caregiver does what she's supposed to do, she's trustworthy, energetic, and she relates well to my mother.

I need help only on occasion when I need to be gone. I think they took very good care of my husband when I was gone. There were two caregivers and he was definitely more comfortable with one than the other but that's kind of natural.I didnt get a chance to meet them. I only met the person that set it up.

They both were nurturing. One he likes better than the other. The only objection he had was that she evidently was a smoker. Although he felt for her because she was a single mother. Though she never smoked around the house, you could smell it on the clothes and everything and we are a total non-smoking family. That was the only complaint I heard from him.

I used different organizations a year ago and decided to try this one and I think he was a little better at using them. I had insisted that they drive him because he has issues with his leg and spine right now until his surgery. I think I have mentioned to the agency that I would like to have a male and I would like to have only one person because then, you'd get comfortable with that one person. They still put two and they had reason. They said that if one would get sick, then we have a backup. It would be nice if they could've provided him with a male assistant but I did not press them on it. They interviewed me about our lifestyle and we are a farm family and that's the match we were looking for.

I would be willing to use them another time but right now were in a better level. They were sensitive. They came and asked a lot of questions and they seem to be very caring. They seem very conscientious about it.
