Message from the CEO:

Never before in the history of the world have there been so many elderly people. The good news is that we are living, not just longer, but healthier than ever before. However, there comes a time when most people need some help to remain as independent as possible. That is where Senior Citizens Home Assistance is able to help. Sometimes we supplement the family care; sometimes we become the “surrogate” family when there is no family or they live far away. We provide service where we are needed to seniors and persons with disabilities of all ages.. Usually, that is in the home. However, it is often in the hospital, assisted living facility, or nursing home. Services include companionship for the lonely, general housekeeping, shopping, meal preparation and personal care. To assure the best of care, our Caregivers are carefully chosen, references are checked, and nationally recognized training is provided by a Master Level Registered Nurse. Every precaution is taken to be sure that we provide qualified, caring, dependable assistance. Funding is broad-based. Clients and family members pay as much as they can up to the full cost, from $0 to $16.50 per hour. Local, state, and federal governments, twelve United Ways, foundation grants, fundraisers, and contributions supplement client fees.

Our Mission: To improve the quality of life of those we serve.
