Make a Difference in Someone's Life

Credentialing & Training

At Senior Helpers, we place the utmost importance on ensuring our caregivers receive the latest training and are fully credentialed.


SCREENING

Our caregivers are thoroughly screened before they can become employees of Senior Helpers and each has the opportunity to participate in the Senior Helpers University program to attain additional education.

 

CREDENTIALING

Senior Helpers complies with all national and licensing requirements so you can be assured that our caregiver is properly credentialed to perform the level of care that your senior loved one needs.

TRAINING

This ongoing training program enables our caregivers to provide superior home care while enhancing their job performance and ultimately create an exceptional customer experience for our clients. All of our caregivers have the opportunity to participate in our continual learning program and receive credits towards the Senior Helpers Certification.

Those in the program are required to complete a minimum of eight training modules per year on a variety of topics:

  • Understanding Fall Risk Factors
  • Food Preparation and Safety
  • Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia
  • Understanding Parkinson's disease

The Benefits of a Senior Helper Caregiver

Our Senior Helpers are warm, enthusiastic and compassionate people with a heart for working with seniors.

A flexible schedule

We offer days, evenings, nights, weekends, and live-in. You tell us the schedule that best fits your needs.

One-on-one care

Each of our caregivers works with only one client at a time. That way, they can truly get to know your loved one and build a real relationship.

Training

Our Senior Helpers have access to the Senior Helpers University where they take courses to learn how to be a better caregiver.

PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR ALZHEIMER'S & DEMENTIA CARE

Our professional, trained caregivers take a positive perspective to Alzheimer's and dementia care—our unique Senior Gems® Approach. This method focuses on what they can do, not what they cannot do.

 

We also work closely with dementia expert and Registered Occupational Therapist Teepa Snow (MS, OTR/L, FAOTA).

 

Her Senior Gems classification system (based on Cognitive Disability Theory) allows us to understand which stage of dementia the person is experiencing so we can put together the best plan and select the best caregiver for that individual.

 

 

 

 

"My family and I would like to thank Senior Helpers for their assistance in caring for our Mom and Dad.

 

The owners and staff are more than willing to work with the family in creating a care plan that works for everyone.

 

I would like to thaink our current Caregiver, she is a special person who always goes "above and beyond" in giving care and companionship."
