Q: What is Dear Seniors’ area of expertise?
A: Our expertise is in the community side of health care and elder care.
Q: What type of services does Dear Seniors provide?
A: Dear Seniors provides non-medical, in-home care giving services. We can provide these services anywhere our client resides, whether in the home, assisted living, hospital or other settings. We provide a range in levels of care, and have visits ranging from express visits of an hour or two, all the way through 24/7 care.
Q: What are the advantages of providing people extensive in-home care?
A: The advantages of receiving care at home versus having to move or stay somewhere else to receive care are numerous!
The most important benefits are that people do better overall in their own environment, and in fact if the care recipient has any memory issues, a move or change in environment can be detrimental to their status. The elderly and chronically ill thrive in routine and familiar surroundings.
Q: How flexible are the array of your services?
A: We believe in thinking outside the box when it comes to tailoring services for an array of different situations. Not only do we have different types of care, but we also have a lot of different types of schedules to accommodate the individual.
Q: How has Dear Seniors adapted to serve people during the COVID-19 pandemic?
A: We have become an essential service. Our hospitals and rehabs are overwhelmed and frequently use us as a means to discharge patients safely to recover at home. From this need we have created our COVID Care Services program. This program entails special training for our caregivers and providing a large array of PPE supplies.
Q: What are you most looking forward to in 2021?
A: We’re really looking to grow the company in scale. Growth means the opportunity to touch more lives and make a bigger impact on how care is delivered and managed!
Q: What’s the best thing about working with Dear Seniors?
A: It is extremely rewarding to have the opportunity to impact lives in a positive way on a daily basis. We are truly able todo this for clients, families and our care staff!
Q: What is the main thing you would like people to know as they look toward the future health of aging family members?
A: We are more than just a "sitter service." We are coordinators of care, managers of care and work as a guide for families on all things connected with community care, resources and benefits. We are truly a one-stop shop.
