See what our clients are saying about Seniors Home Care.

Seniors Home Care deserves applause. After my fall, I was a frightened mess! I called SHC and was treated like family. I felt at ease. I was assured help would arrive. It did, and my fears were unfounded. Many thanks to you and your professional staff! You made my recovery a pleasant happening.

Fortunately for our family, you found just the right person to help with nursing and household care when the need arose. The skill and remarkable efforts of our caregiver have been outstanding. Believe me, it would be difficult without your responsible choice and service.

With the assistance of you and your “girls,” she was able to remain in her apartment, on her own (the way she wanted it) for almost a year...They did shopping, laundry, trash removal, bed changing, bath assisting whatever the need of the morning. When Mother needed someone close by all the time, with your help, we were able to care for her in our homes until her death. We are so glad you were able to help our family.

It was a fortunate day when I cut your ad out of the paper and saved it. After my operation, neither my wife nor I could drive, go up and down steps, or do most household chores. After discussing our needs, you sent Melissa. She did everything we asked, and best of all, she saw things that needed to be done and did them without the necessity of direction. We're still living in our own home and doing the things we¹ve always done without uprooting our lives, thanks to Seniors Home Care.

Dear Kit,
I want to thank you very much for your caring and helpful assistance for my sister, Ruth, over the recent past. Since my brother and I are so far removed from St. Louis, your loving care has made the family situation so much better.

I want to let you know how pleased I am with my husband's caregiver, Richard. He is very patient (which I am not) and this is a definite plus when dealing with Alzheimer's patients. My husband has made wonderful progress and the two of them have bonded well together. He is very accepting of Richard's assistance...I believe you made a wonderful ‘match’ when you selected our caregiver.

My mother’s needs were met with gentle care and respect. She was not pushed beyond her abilities and looked forward to the caregiver visits.

Barbara S.
My husband (a stroke patient) can no longer drive and I never drove. Our 2 girls help us a lot but they both work full time and can’t do everything. Carol (our caregiver) takes us for doctor appointments – grocery store either with me or by herself – does some housekeeping and if time allows, irons for me. It has been a God send – don’t know anymore how we could make out without her.

Marie N.
Phyllis sets such a good example for the other caregivers, She has an exceptional approach in the way she handles everyday tasks with my mother. She is very thoughtful, kind, and considerate of my mother. She relates very well with me, and the rest of our family.

Suzie B.
Rose provided a sensitive nature with dignity for my mother. My mother would always tell me the night prior to Rose coming, “Oh Ann, tomorrow Rose comes and I am so happy to see her smiling face each time she comes. She is simply wonderful!" Rose was the best care provider and individual we ever had in all of the years my father and my mother required additional help.

Ann S.
SHC made a real effort to assign the same people – only 3 over many years!!

Mary V.
Not only were my caregivers always on time and extremely capable but they were also cheerful and friendly. I needed 24-hour care, so I really appreciated their companionship. I also received excellent meals and transportation to church, hairdresser and doctors.

All of my caregivers were great, especially Bettye and Stephanie. Thank you so much for allowing me to stay in my home while I underwent therapy.

Patience, a radiant and compassionate young woman was my comfort and compassion my first two nights home from surgery. She thought of ways to help even before I could think of them –quickly and graciously. Patience is a remarkable young woman.

From the first phone call to you I was impressed by your business.

We met Alice at our mom's home and Alice spoke to her in a way that made her so comfortable. Instead of calling your business "Seniors Home Care" we shortened it to "AliceCare"! She is amazing.

We want to thank all of the care givers as well. Kathy, Aisha and Donna were all so wonderful with our mom. All three showed so much concern and compassion.

Just a quick note to say that I very much liked everything about Seniors Home Care - the paradigm, the availability of a nurse, the willingness to do what the patient needs, the friendliness and kindness of the staff.I think your organization is great, and I will happily recommend you to anyone looking for the kinds of services you provide.

I have now used SHC every day for over a year and couldn't be more pleased with the professionalism, responsiveness, trustworthiness and compassion through some very difficult times. SHC caregivers have provided care at home including 24/7 hospice care for my relative as well as care in the hospital, rehab center and for visits to the doctor. I trust them implicitly. They have managed all of the pieces such as transitioning from rehab to home and coordinating everything from medications to physical therapy to medical equipment to following-up with the doctors. They are excellent at communicating with me. SHC caregivers are first rate. SHC has my highest recommendation and my deepest thanks.

I made appointments with three agencies and can honestly say choosing SHC was the right and only choice. The other two agencies didn't begin to compare to what SHC offered and the way I viewed SHC. Nurse Alice met with us answered every concern I had and explained everything in complete detail. After her visit, I knew I had found the right one to care for my father-in-law. I found each caregiver to be well trained, professional, caring, patient, and each had her own method for dealing with an elderly man with increasing Alzheimer's. He was treated the respect he's earned after 95 years of life and for that I'm so grateful.

In May, it appeared, my own dad needed services and I called to have him evaluated. A nurse came the next morning and determined my dad needed hospitalization. He stayed in the hospital until it was determined his body was shutting down. I called SHC again and they were there to welcome my dad back at his home and were there with him 24/7 until he passed away. Having SHC there helped us as a family, visit with him, and not worry about his care. It was a big relief and we knew he was attended to. He was treated like a family member by his caregivers. Their servant temperament was reassuring. I can without hesitation recommend SHC to those needing more assistance so that they can remain in their homes.
