Senior Helpers of Rockland, NY

More than 90% of seniors want to age in their own home with dignity but getting the right type of care can seem daunting. At Senior Helpers Westchester County we believe that getting the best care for your loved ones should not be complicated. We are committed to delivering the best possible in-home care to seniors in the Westchester County community.

There is no greater responsibility than entrusting someone with the care of a loved one. I know this firsthand because I lived it with my own family. It is my personal journey that led me to pursue a career with Senior Helpers.

My name is Jeff, and when I was in my late 30’s my Mom had a massive stroke. A stroke was something completely foreign to me. Talk about needing to learn quickly! Seeing my Mom in the ER with a vacant stare was beyond scary, and I sought out the best rehab center for her upon her discharge from the hospital. Our roles were suddenly reversed, and I became their caregiver and was responsible for nearly every facet of managing my parents’ lives. At that time my father was able to care for her daily needs and I took over all else - and I mean EVERYTHING!

When my father passed away suddenly, I moved my mother into the very best nursing home I could find…at approximately $18,000 a month! For the first year she lived in a room reminiscent of a hotel room, a far cry from a homey environment. The care was minimal at best and I spent many nights not sleeping knowing that she was there.

I always share my experience with perspective families for the following reasons / facts:

1) Most people live better in their own homes
2) The cost of in-home care is approximately 50% less than a facility
3) Possibly the most important thing is that the personalized care in your loved one’s home is the best care possible.
Why work with my partner and I at Senior Helpers?
1) We are hands-on owners that are here for you 24/7, 365 days a year.

2) We become part of your family, and you become part of ours.

3) We are all about our caregivers and the care that they provide you as we perform the most extensive background checks available on both State and Federal Level. All our caregivers are bonded and insured.

4) We train our caregivers in many areas, and we are especially proud of the training for Dementia & Alzheimer’s through our exclusive Senior Gems program based on the Gems™, techniques, strategies, and overall approach to care which was created and developed by Teepa Snow, Positive Approach, LLC.

5) Unlike many Home Care providers in New York, we are proud to say that we are licensed to assist with both personal and companionship care—meaning we can help your loved ones with things like Bathing, Dressing, Toileting, Eating as well as Laundry, Transportation, Meal Preparation, etc.

6) We are proud to accept VA BENEFITS and LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE to assist as many families as possible.

7) Additionally, I, myself, conduct every care assessment to ensure all clients’ expectations are clearly understood and relayed to our caregivers.

Between myself, and Senior Helpers co-owner and partner Mitchell, we are reachable far beyond just normal business hours as we know emergency situations often arise.

Trusting the care of a loved one is a leap of faith. Having been there myself, I understand. Call me and let’s get started.
