St. Louis Senior Home Care Services

Making a referral is easy. By simply contacting Ryan Whittington in our office, you can access information on services and schedule a complimentary registered nursing assessment. You, and appropriate family members, are welcome to attend the assessment.

We have organized our services and simplified our approach in ways that allow clients to make meaningful decisions. Each client, with the assistance of an SHC registered nurse, creates a unique, customized plan of care to be followed by professionally trained caregivers.

Seniors Home Care participates in the continuum of care by assisting our clients wherever and whenever they need help. Whether a person is returning home from a rehabilitation facility and needs periodic care, or requires around-the-clock care at home, we have you covered.

With 100+ caregivers on staff, Seniors Home Care has the ability to cover all hours of the day and all days of the week.

Our approach to excellent home care is:

  • Assigning the fewest number of caregivers per client – greater continuum of care, fewer “new faces”
  • “Best of the Best” caregivers. The right caregiver…all the time.
  • Complete office support for caregiver, clients and their families. 24-hour-a-day phone coverage. Nursing supervision ensures caregivers are accountable and acting in the client’s best interest.

One of our registered nurses will work with you, as a senior care professional, to coordinate ongoing care as the needs of our mutual clients change.

Long Term Care Insurance (LTCI):

Seniors Home Care has a dedicated department that will advise, coordinate and maintain our clients’ Long Term Care Insurance needs. Allowing SHC to file LTCI paperwork takes the guesswork and hassle out of meeting insurance requirements and reimbursements, with no interruptions in care. Our clients rely on us to advocate on their behalf. 

Our Services

Pricing is based on the level of care needed. Clients are welcome to mix and match services as needed. The number and types of services requested may determine the length of the visit. With 100+ caregivers whose skills and availabilities vary, we identify each caregiver’s skill and match them to the client’s requests.

Transportation Services

Whether in the client’s vehicle, or in the vehicle of the caregiver, SHC transportation services are one-on-one and can provide a much-needed change of scenery. Clients are picked up by their caregiver, assisted as needed to their appointment, and returned safely to their home. (Taking trips in their own vehicle—even if they are being driven—often enhances a client’s perception that they are still independent.)
