bout four years ago, Mark and Tiffany Murphy were looking at potential businesses to buy and they researched home health companies. “As a registered nurse with home health experience in elder care, we thought that senior care would be a natural fit for me,” says Tiffany. “However, at that time I wasn’t quite ready to begin a start-up. Mark discovered that Senior Helpers was for sale. We researched the franchise and the local Senior Helpers. We saw that it had huge potential and eventually bought it from the prior owner in February 2014.” Senior Helpers is a licensed and insured in-home care agency which provides professional, licensed caregivers that assist older adults to safely age in place, whether it is their own home or facility. They provide a variety of services depending on the specific needs and goals of each individual from one hour to 24 hours per day. They offer assistance in companion and personal care, meal preparation, medicine reminders, light housekeeping, transportation to and from appointments/errands, and more. Their staff and caregivers strive to provide consistent, compassionate, high quality care to allow one to remain safe and independent at home. Caregivers are fingerprinted and thoroughly screened, and are carefully matched to each client to provide the best care possible. They also specialize in a unique program for dementia and Alzheimer’s care called Senior Gems. “Our trained caregivers take a positive approach to caring for anyone with dementia, focusing on what one can do, instead of what one can’t, so that successful interactions and goals are achieved,” says Tiffany. Tiffany knows each of her clients and loves knowing that her caregivers are making a positive difference in the client’s lives. “My staff and caregivers try to enhance the lives of those we touch and provide peace of mind to their family members,” says Tiffany.
