Aging Life Care Management with Seniors Home Care 

Aging Life Care Management (ACLA) is a holistic, client-centered approach to caring for older adults facing ongoing health challenges.

Help the SHC Loaner Car Program

At Seniors Home Care and SAGE In-Home Memory Care, we are always looking for ways to better serve our clients and support our dedicated caregivers. One of the ways we do this is through our Loaner Car Program – a service that allows our team to quickly provide a temporary vehicle to a caregiver when theirs is unavailable. This ensures care consistency and continuity.

We are currently working to expand this program and are seeking to add additional vehicles to our small fleet. If you happen to have an older car or SUV that is not being used, we would like the opportunity to purchase it from you. It doesn’t need to be perfect – just safe, reliable, and able to get from point A to point B.

Your vehicle could play an important role in helping a caregiver get to a client on time, making a difference in those we serve every day.

If you have a vehicle you would consider selling, please contact Ryan Whittington directly at 314-962-2666 or [email protected]. He’d be happy to discuss the details and make the process simple and straightforward.

Testimonial

Seniors Home Care has been a pleasure to work with supporting my 100 years old mother. My mom is bedridden, needs to be moved every 2 hours and now hand-fed. The women caregivers are very caring and supportive of my mother’s needs.

The staff at Seniors Home Care has worked closely with me for the past 5 years and now into the final stage of my mother’s life. They have always been responsive and kind, listening to my concerns. We have a great working team.

I highly recommend them to serve your family needs.
