Additionally, Debbie gained experience helping a friend care for her mother after a stroke, Michael and Debbie realized the seniors in their community could benefit from Seniors Helping Seniors in-home care services.
I have worked in the service industry most all my life, “Michael said.” As I have grown older, I have gained a clearer understanding of the challenges and needs of our seniors”.
Opening a Seniors Helping Seniors in-home care franchise offered exactly what Michael and Debbie were seeking.
“Seniors Helping Seniors is unique in that creates service opportunities for senior citizens”.
“Active seniors can still contribute to their communities and supplement their retirement income. Seniors who need help to continue living in their homes can feel comfortable receiving help and support from those who also are experiencing the aging process.
