Seniors Helping Seniors® services facilitate heartwarming connections between active seniors and their less active counterparts, providing both with fulfillment, purpose and friendship.
There are an estimated 54.1 million people in this country over the age of 65, many of whom are realizing the importance of aging at home. Seniors Helping Seniors® senior care concept with 200+ locations across the U.S., provides more than in-home care for seniors; it also provides companionship as well. This unique franchise model stands apart by hiring mature adults as caregivers, creating a nurturing environment where seniors can continue to thrive in the comfort of their homes while building a meaningful relationship with a peer to whom they can relate.
Nearly 12 million aging, disabled and chronically ill Americans receive in-home care every year, and caregivers play a critical role to ensure those in need of in-home services receive the care they need. By matching active seniors seeking purposeful employment with those in need of assistance to maintain their independence, this innovative approach addresses the growing desire among seniors to age in place and positively impacts on the mental health and well-being of clients and caregivers through the genuine connections built.
Barry Platt is an army veteran with Alzheimer’s disease. A few years after his diagnosis, Platt’s wife decided she needed additional assistance in caring for her husband, so she reached out to Seniors Helping Seniors® Warminster, Pennsylvania.
Dan Tuft became Barry Platt’s caregiver and while he provides Platt with the care he needs, the two have also developed a heartwarming friendship. The duo enjoy going out for meals at their favorite local diner, grocery shopping and going to the movies together. Platt eagerly anticipates the visits from his caregiver, as it allows him to get out of the house, interact with others and do something enjoyable. For Tuft, the companionship makes his role incredibly rewarding and fulfilling, as he knows he is helping to maintain Platt’s quality of life.
Tuft respects and admires Platt, especially for his time in the military and his career as a successful dentist. Through his role as companion and caregiver, he has come to understand the importance of seeking help when needed and appreciates the support he receives himself from Seniors Helping Seniors® so that he can provide the best care possible for Platt.
