Love it. I enjoy helping elderly woman with every day tasks. Makes me feel s
Fulfilled with my life. From gardening to cleaning I am thankful to be given the opportunity to help the elderly
My name is Gabriella and I'm new to the Elder Helpers. I'm a trained volunteer and I am so excited about Elder Helpers. I can't wait to get started and begin helping elders and their families.
I graduated College with the founder of the company. He has always been am extremely intelligent, high achieve, trustworthy stand up guy.
I have professionally partnered with this agency and they are wonderful people to work with. They are dependable and trustworthy. Always go the extra mile.
We are so glad we have gotten in touch with Elderhelpers. Our 96 year old aunt, who lives alone by choice, has greatly benefited from Elderhelpers.
I was blessed to have an elderhelper who became involved with both my parents. She became a friend to them and visited them in their home regularly. She helped them when I had to be out of town. I have since moved my parents to separate care facilities and our elderhelper continues to visit them to play cards or provide companionship, Thank you for providing a service that has been such a help.
My experience has not been anything. As of yet I have not had anything to help with. I think it would be great to have an opportunity to help someone.
I have two lovely young ladies that come to my home and walk my Dog on Monday and Wednesday.
They really really help me. I am 76 have some infirmities. I appreciate when they walk my dog.
So many great adventures. So little time! There seems to be so many different choices. It would be wonderful if we could do a number of trips a year.
When I was feeling EXTREMELY down and lonely, like a prisoner in my senior apartment, I got a beautiul e mail from them that encouraged me.
That website is really good and help me connecting with helpers... would recommend to families looking for extra help with elders.
My opinion of Elder Helpers remains unchanged. People who take advantage of the elderly need to be brought to justice.
Update April 20 2016: (In addition I have responded to all of "Mary's" emails so their response about not being able to contact me is bogus)
Chuck... Mary... whoever you are,
Who is managing your website that you can't see that my profile is obviously live? I just received another phone call April 18th from another senior looking for assistance. I would love to send you the url but since I can't even log in AND when I chose to have you people send me an email because your site says my password is incorrect it doesn't send the email. Maybe I'm the one who needs a lawyer.

After signing up and paying for 2 months service I had been unable to use the service because of a changes in my life.
Very quick and nice when I called to cancel and get a refund. I am impressed and happy with ElderHelpers customer service.
They are a very good organization of o had the opportunity to help the elders I will with a big open hand I love helping people especially those who cant really do everything on their own Im going back to school to be on a psw worker in order for me to be a part of an organization that can help people to have a better and happier future just like us who have it easier I love meaning a beautiful smile on people faces.
Elders are full of wisdom and amazing stories visiting and helping is a treat and a fum time to spend your day and time with them
I signed up with ElderHelpers to get involved in my community, get to know an elder who may need companionship and support, and contribute my time and energy to making their lives better. ElderHelpers is very organized and professional. They offered a helpful training and took careful consideration when pairing me with an elder to ensure that the relationship would work from both ends. I highly recommend getting involved.
I think this is a great cause. Looking forward to helping someone soon! I haven't received a call yet but hope to very soon.
