So, if you just need someone to help take you to appointments, run some errands, light housekeeping, if you need help with mobility, changing, dressing, grooming, respite stays…” Additional services include Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care, Parkinson’s Care, Return Home Transitional Care, Chronic Disease Care, VA Benefit Assistance, and Surgery Assistance and Sitter Services.

Owner Jessica Miller encourages anyone interested learning more about the services offered to stop by the office anytime between 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.**Next Steps.** “We try to make the process as easy as possible for families,” Miller says, adding, “When families feel like they need to make that phone call, they literally just call us and tell us what they need assistance with. We talk about the care goals and what they’re looking for, how often they need that, and then we start with getting to their home at a convenient time for them to do the in-home assessment.” The in-home assessment is completely free, and Miller explains that after that is completed, the Senior Helpers team works on a personalized care plan. The in-home assessment is important because it allows the team “to see things, make recommendations including how often we think the services should occur, and then we get them signed up with the appropriate caregiver, and we go from there,” Miller says. “We try to make it as seamless as possible.” The team at Senior Helpers in Pelham also offers a LIFE Profile assessment “which is an evidence-based tool that helps predict the risk of hospitalization in the next six months and provides recommendations to age safely at home.” During the assessment, the team identifies “key areas of concern to focus care, simple action items to address immediately, and wellness benchmarks to continually review progress.” This free assessment can be done during the in-home assessment or after.
