Round-the-clock care, an alternative to facility living

As much as you might wish to, you can’t always provide round-the-clock care for a loved one in fragile health. Kit Whittington, our founder, understands firsthand what you’re going through.

Years ago when her grandmother needed round-the-clock care, in-home options weren’t available. Rather than admit her grandmother to a nursing home, Kit made the difficult decision to quit her job and care for her grandmother herself. That experience planted the seed for Seniors Home Care. Since 1987, our mission has been to provide the same level of personalized, flexible, in-home care that Kit was blessed to be able to provide for her grandmother.

“”Not just round-the-clock care. Tender, capable, in-home care.

Common scenarios requiring 24-hour care (long-term or temporary)

• Individuals who are at risk when left unattended – usually due to physical frailty or cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s disease or dementia
• Recently released hospital patients needing assistance, encouragement and supervision
• Families caring for an elder full-time in need of respite or a vacation

What SHC round-the-clock care provides

When you engage round-the-clock care through SHC, your loved one will receive one-on-one care from a consistent, familiar team of trained and experienced caregivers. This direct care provides:

• Safety in the familiar home environment
• Reliable supervision and support
• Companionship, through personal assistance and interaction
• An advocate for the elder’s best interest
• Stimulation of mind and mood – an experienced caregiver can match enjoyable activities to a client’s capabilities
• Peace of mind to families – visits can focus on enjoyment, free from the stress of caregiver duties
• Personal care and household tasks
