We recently had the pleasure of spending time with Sandy Levine from Senior Helpers of Dublin. Sandy showed us how her organization can help older people who are having a difficult time living alone and their families. Her company provides individuals and families with a wide variety of services that we feel could be very valuable to many of our clients.
The purpose of Senior Helpers is to give people the assistance they need to keep living independently at home even with physical and other problems brought on by age. Sandy’s organization provides its clients with assistants who perform tasks they can longer perform on their own.
A Senior Helpers assistant could do the shopping and cook the meals for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. They also provide Companion Care which checks in with people everyday and makes sure that they are alright. The Companion can do tasks that persons can no longer do for themselves such as housework and can arrange for other services such as yard care.
Senior Helpers would be a real help for a person trying to juggle caring with an older relative with their career and other family obligations. We were also very impressed by their Alzheimer’s and Dementia care team. They have care providers that are specifically trained and experienced in dealing with persons suffering from Alzheimer’s and Dementia . Senior Helpers caregivers can help a person stay in his or her home and take the burden off of his or her family.
Senior Helpers business designed to help older people and their families maintain their independence and quality of life here in Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton and San Ramon.
All of the people that work for Senior Helpers are hired directly by Sandy’s company. In addition to that they are trained, bonded and insured and they go through a thorough background check. This means clients will be able to trust the people working with their elderly loved ones.
Another Senior Helpers service that we were really impressed with was moving assistance. As realtors we have seen how difficult it can be to move an elderly loved one out of his or her home and into a more appropriate environment. They will work with us and provide assistance including preparation for the move. We will handle the details of selling the house while they will handle other chores such as packing.
Sandy showed us how Senior Helpers provides services that are custom tailored to each of their clients. These services range from weekly phone calls to see how a person is doing to providing assistance with surgery and providing transportation to medical services.
We were pleased to find out that these services are available in our community and we are proud to be working with Sandy and Senior Helpers to make this kind of assistance available to our clients.
