Seniors On Site was created just over three years ago in answer to the growing demand for non-medical at-home care for seniors living in their own homes, or retirement residences and for young families in need of childcare and home-care. Since then, a long list of clients has added their names to the SOS family and many are wondering why they didn't do it earlier.
The best thing about Seniors On Site is the same feature that distinguishes it from every other service provider, all SOS caregivers are young seniors, 50+. They bring worlds of experience into every home they enter, as well as ensuring respectful working relationships that see every task handled with trust and care. Such as the care Mrs. Taylor experienced since she started using SOS services in 2008.
"SOS makes a wonderful difference to my life. The caregivers pitch in and do anything that I need and can't do easily on my own. I'm 90 now... I can't stand for long and have to use a walker. This makes tidying up hard. Doreen comes a few times a week and does anything I ask. She's intelligent and pleasant and I like that we can have lively conversations. She takes me on outings. We have a great time shopping together. When I don't feel up to it, she does the shopping for me. She knows all my brands and gets the best price. She also gives me helpful hints on organizing and managing for myself. I can trust her with anything."
On the other end of the client age spectrum, Seniors On Site has proven to be just as invaluable to young families trying to juggle demanding work, school, and sports schedules. As little as a few hours each week can make a world of difference to parent-child relationships, quality of lives, and smooth running households. Corine, a single mom with two children, has been using SOS Services since early 2009.
"I've had a few incredible people who have helped me a lot. For two hours a day, Carol-Ann is the lady of the house, she does my job. Thanks to Carol-Ann I can go to bed two hours earlier with peace of mind because of what she does for me. She's very versatile and does a large array of light housekeeping jobs and does them well. She also runs errands as needed and walks the dog. She's reliable and is there every day. I've also used SOS for ironing, occasional after-school care, home-work support and baby-sitting."
SOS caregivers' family values and positive attitudes play key roles in the level of service they offer and this provides caregiver Carol-Ann job satisfaction that's hard to find elsewhere. "I'm enjoying the variety of work and the people I meet. I feel very appreciated because I'm providing a valuable service for the families and seniors I work with. You're just what they need in their life."
All SOS caregivers are insured and undergo a strict screening process that includes police background checks. These knowledgeable and experienced caregivers are expertly matched to clients' specific needs.
