Our Service
Our services are tailored to meet your needs. You will receive one-on-one care from a professionally trained caregiver that understands your needs and that will provide care on your schedule. Unlike other agencies, we charge one flat, hourly rate no matter what services you may require.
Our caregivers provide any combination of these tasks:
- Personal Care
- Transportation
- Meal Preparation
- Medication Reminders
- Companionship
- Respite Care
- Errand Service
- Light Housekeeping
We know some situations happen unexpectedly and call for immediate care. Our staff answers calls 24/7 and can meet you that same day to start care. Learn more about how we deliver exceptional service with our GreatCare® method.
Personal Care
Personal Care is one of our most important duties. We are able to help with simple tasks like getting dressed, more difficult actions like bathing, or even total assistance with all personal care.
Our staff is oriented to your specific needs so you always have someone who is trained in the task you require. Duties include bathing (using bath, shower, or bed bath), oral hygiene, dressing, ?incontinence, mobility, following exercise regimen, or any other personal care need.
Our flat, hourly rate does not go up based on the amount of personal care a person may require.
Transportation
Driving is a symbol of freedom. When we loose the ability to drive on our own this doesn't mean we can't get out and do the things we once did.
With a caregiver from Caring Senior Service behind the wheel, seniors are once again able to get out and do the things that give them independence. Consider us your private chauffer driving to doctor appointments, the store for some shopping, or maybe just to get out on the road to enjoy the view.
If you have the car we have the drivers.
Meal Preparation
Meal preparation is very important in maintaing health. Many clients are on specific diets and need to have meals prepared to meet those needs.
Our staff doesn't just make whatever they feel like making that day. You tell us what you want! It's like having your own personal chef! Want a steak? Just tell us how you want your steak prepared!
We also prepare meals for diabetic diets, low sodium diets, low sugar diets and many other special diets.
Medication Reminders
As a senior ages, the amounts of medications he or she is asked to take often goes up. Sometimes the sheer volume of pills can confuse people. Add to this any age-related memory issues and it is a recipe for disaster. The United States Department of Health and Human resources estimates that only 50 to 60 of patients are adherent to taking their medications as prescribed. The cost of non-adherence is estimated to be $100 billion, and non-adherence causes 10 percent of all hospitalizations.
Caring Senior Service caregivers can assist in medication management through tracking of medication times, dosages and types to be taken. We conduct a complete inventory of medications upon admission, which we constantly update as needed.
Companionship
It is our believe that no senior should feel left alone. Caring Senior Service can provide a needed companion for a senior who lives alone, or is alone for portions of the day. During this time we can spend time reading, sharing stories and provide much needed social interaction.
Respite Care
Caring for a sick or disabled loved one can require full-time attention. Families and spouses often need time to themselves to regroup or to tend to other needs – such as running errands or attending to personal business.
Caring Senior Service can provide care while you take time to tend to your needs. Whether it be a vacation or a few hours of shopping, we can be there for you and your loved one.
Errand Service
With Caring Senior Service you can start doing those things you stopped. Go to your weekly bridge game, visit with some old friends, or do whatever you want to do.
Our service is great for people who take care of a loved one on their own. It gives you a chance to get out and do some of the things you need to do. Whether is means just a trip to the bank, a movie or a vacation, we can help you relax by knowing your loved one is cared for well while you are away.
Light Housekeeping
When you are at this point in life, house work can become a real nuisance. So stop doing it!
Let one of our caregivers take over this job. Our staff will clean the areas used by you and we will clean up after meals. We don't tell you "we don't do windows."

My name is Byron Johnson and I recently used Caring Senior Services to help take care of my wife from May 23, 2009 thru September 20, 2009 in my home. Through this period of time she was dealing with terminal cancer.
I was extremely pleased with the service and care provided. They were very professional in all aspects of care provided. They were always punctual and treated my wife and other family members with the utmost respect. They established a rapport with my wife that made her passing much easier than expected and with dignity.
Based on the experience myself and my family observed I would strongly recommend them.
