Hello everyone. My siblings and I are looking into part-time home care for mom. Has anyone had experience with Senior Helpers?

Find Care & Housing
Every Sr Helper's are different. We are in the Twin Cities and my mom has a caregiver to help with showering three times a week. She really likes her. The owner has been very helpful and we just started having someone come in the morning for a couple hours too. I think finding the right fit is important and that may take awhile.

Had a bad experience with Senior Helpers. Aide left early with the approval of the manager and no one bothered to tell us.

This would definitely be a deal breaker for me. I would never use this agency again. They left a vulnerable senior without any help.

Did they explain why the aide left early? Was it a family emergency or something? Why didn’t they send a replacement? How long was your mom left alone?

All I will say is that I had a bad experience with Senior Helpers when they were suggested for my mom. Won’t go into any further detail.

Are you looking for agency's, or are you just looking for suggestions on what to look out for when hiring, red flags and such?

I think more information would be helpful

If you looking for information, I did some care giving, for an agency.
And I think a lot of it has to do with the personality of your loved one and do they fit.

I was sent to this wonderful man's house once, but his wife didn't like me at all. We finally figured out she was jealous. They started sending younger girls there, because she didn't like someone in her 50s in her house, the younger ones where not a threat to her. Not that I was a threat, but in her mind I was.

Some good people just don't fit in your loved ones world.

Good luck in this very difficult journey

Sorry, we used a different agency. Maybe others on this forum will be able to help you.
