I am a current client
The process of hiring help for my parents was easy with Blair’s guidance. We mainly chose Senior Helpers due to their flexibility in scheduling. At this point, we have only had a helper for one day, but were very impressed with her. She was so kind and patient with my parents and did an excellent job with all tasks. She washed my Dad’s bed linens and remade his bed. He was so impressed that he told me to go look at how great a job she did. He told me “I need to sleep on the floor tonight because I don’t want to mess up the bed!” Ha! Thank you, Senior Helpers!
