What Our Families and Seniors Are Saying

Seniors Helping Seniors is a wonderful organization that I am happy to recommend.  I work full time and needed a companion for my mother, who is on hospice care in my home.  Carmo at SHS sent Wanda to us, and for the past year Wanda provided excellent care for my Mom.  She was always on time, dependable, and caring.  I went to work each day knowing she was in good hands, and I will always be grateful for her help, and that of Carmo at SHS.  I highly recommend them.  Sincerely, Sherri E.

"Thank you to the caregivers at Seniors helping Seniors.   The drivers and caregivers who attended to a family member surpassed our expectations.  The drivers were always punctual and made sure our family member was on time for her appointments.  The caregiver not only was companion for the family member but helped with chores and errands.  We thank Seniors helping Seniors for all the professional care given to those in need.   God Bless you in the work you do."

“My father and I both really appreciated the care he received from SHS. The approach of having him meet his potential caregiver first and having them both agree that they could work well together gave him an important sense of agency in the process. He ended up enjoying her visits instead of resenting the fact that he needed them. Thank you, Patricia! And thank you, Carmo, for making it so easy to get things started.”

"Thank you SHS for all you do! We appreciate the support. With Love."

"I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful companionship and help with daily tasks that Seniors Helping Seniors has provided to my mother. It was very easy and quick to get the service set up and we appreciate your flexibility regarding the schedule as well as the tasks each week. Not only is it important to work with people that we can trust, but also caregivers that really understand and can relate to older adults. My mother has enjoyed her experience with her caregiver and really looks forward to seeing her every time. We are grateful for your ongoing support and kindness and would recommend this service highly! "

Thank you for a year of service. It has been a wonderful experience. Patty G has been an outstanding companion.

My Testimony of Seniors Helping Seniors:
After 15 years, I finally received my Section 8 voucher!
It was an exciting yet scary time.
I had just had surgery; it was during a pandemic and have no car.
Then Seniors Helping Seniors came in on Angel's wings!

Eleanor Chang, the MSW there helped organize ways for boxes to be delivered to me!
She also found another senior citizen, Carmo Ribeiro. He helped with boxes and even packing.
I was doing this alone with no family here in Michigan.
Eleanor stayed in close contact with me and helped out in ways that brought no attention to herself.
Mr. Ribeiro did the same!

I feel so bless that they were able to help me.
I'd NEVER had been able to move without their help!
I want to thank Seniors Helping Seniors with my whole heart!
I was able to move out of an area that I felt unsafe in.

They even contacted me after the move to see how things were going.
I highly recommend them.
If they can help, they will!

Very Sincerely,
Sherie Ballew

This is a Testimony I wanted to submit that I am so happy to do so.

I want to thank Carmo Ribeiro for his guidance, patience and understanding for my father’s needs. And to Ed Weidenbach for the time, patience and understanding as he spent time with my father. My father was resistance at first, but quickly became comfortable with Ed and he was very very helpful to me and my father.

I will forever be grateful to them both and I am hoping next spring/summer when he returns, they will be able to pick up where we left off.

Thank you to SHS, you are truly appreciated!!

"After my Dad fell and returned home from rehab we needed help. He was very concerned about his privacy but grew to trust and appreciate Carmo very much. Dad was able to connect with an older person much better than the young nursing student we also hired. Carmo was flexible and responsive to our needs and helped us through the pandemic crisis. Carmo is very resourceful and helped us with minor repairs, laundry, housekeeping, getting groceries, and doctors appointments. I can’t say enough about what a great service Seniors Helping Seniors has been for us!" Vicky Russell
