Review

When it comes to arranging care visits for an elderly loved one, finding a reliable and trustworthy service is of utmost importance. Unfortunately, not all experiences with senior care agencies are positive. One dissatisfied client shares their frustration with Senior Helpers, emphasizing their unreliability. The client recounts numerous instances where caregivers failed to show up without notice, causing unnecessary stress for their 93-year-old mother. Moreover, the lack of consistency in caregivers' quality and the company's failure to accommodate their request for specific caregivers ultimately led the client to end their service after just a few weeks.

While this particular review highlights the negative experience with a local franchise of Senior Helpers, it is important to note that others may have had more positive outcomes with different branches of the organization. Nevertheless, the reviewer warns readers to be cautious and hold these services accountable from the very beginning.

On a more positive note, another client speaks highly of Dean, the owner of Senior Helpers. They commend him for his helpfulness and considerate approach when considering care options for their parents. Dean never pushed them in any particular direction and instead listened carefully to their needs and provided exactly what they asked for.

In terms of customer service, Senior Helpers excelled in phone responsiveness and scheduling staff efficiency according to one reviewer. They appreciated receiving call backs promptly when leaving messages and found the scheduling staff both efficient and helpful.

In terms of the actual care provided by Senior Helpers' Personal Care Assistants (PCAs), there were success stories as well. One satisfied customer describes their PCA as pleasant, proactive, respectful, and kind towards their parents. This positive interaction indicates that there are caring individuals within Senior Helpers who strive to provide excellent support.

Finally, amidst mixed reviews about Senior Helpers' overall reliability and quality of caregivers, another customer found working with them to be a very good experience overall. This individual values how accommodating they have been on short notice and intends to continue using their services in the future.

In summary, Senior Helpers receives both praise and criticism in these reviews. It is clear that reliability and consistency in caregiver attendance are key issues to address, as some clients experienced multiple no-shows without notice. However, there are also positive aspects highlighted, such as the helpfulness of the owner and the professionalism of phone response staff. Ultimately, potential clients should approach Senior Helpers with caution and clearly communicate their expectations from the start to ensure a satisfactory experience.
