I gladly sent in $50 with the hope of getting some assistance with my grandmother. The last 10 days I've tried calling 8 separate people listed. No one answered so left messages for those who had vm. No one has called me back to even say they couldn't help. When I emailed my concerns, I received a email response that the email was no longer valid. And wouldn't you know the phone number that you have to search for is disconnected. I should have known when no one in health care, social services are even government services have any heard of Elder Helpers. If it's too good to be true, it is!

All new kind of service so it is probably why it is getting so many fake reviews from people who have obviously not used the site. My name is Jill W. And I have found good volunteers through the site after an easy search and a couple of phone calls. I signed up for a month at first and then switch to a year to save. The customer service is blazing fast and to the point and the volunteers I work with absolutely wonderful people. Thank you to whoever came up with this service and to the volunteers listed on the site.

This is a follow up to my 10/6/22 review. There is a response by Elders of the issue has been resolved. The issue is not resolved. I asked for the corporate office address so I could look up Elders on the better business bureau website. Elders did not contact me with this info so I don't know how they can respond to my post the issue has been satisfactory resolved. This further questions the credibility of this business 10/25/23.

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to express my interest in volunteering with your esteemed organization, which dedicates its efforts to supporting the elderly. My deep passion for helping and standing by those in need, particularly the elderly, is what drives me to reach out to you today.

I have gained valuable experience in volunteering and assisting others through my previous involvement in several community initiatives aimed at providing material and emotional support to those in need. Additionally, I have a quick learning ability, which allows me to handle various situations and challenges effectively.

I believe that working with the elderly is not just about offering help but also an opportunity to learn from their life experiences and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. It would be an honor to be part of this noble humanitarian work and contribute to improving their daily lives.

I kindly ask you to consider my application to join your team and to take part in achieving the association's noble goals

Update: the company responded to my review by immediately placing blame on me, and ignoring the several emails I have sent them over the course of a year and a half. They want me to delete the review or change it to 5 so they can get more people to fall for their scam. Please do not donate to this company, donate to your local community that you can validate with your own eyes and in person. They need it more than whatever this website is doing with your hard earned money. This is my advice to you when dealing with this company, please be safe. Look at the image I attached. The name in the message doesn't even match the name on the account.

I repeatedly reached out to them multiple times to stop charging me. I never even signed up for the donations, I had to call paypal to get involved and they said this place had been charging me through paypal as a guest account and that is why I could not find it to stop it on my side. They had to go through several additional steps to get ElderHelpers (more like ScamHelpers) to stop charging me. I reported them to PayPal and I am reporting them to the FBI https://www.ic3.gov/

I've been a 'member' or volunteer with Elder Helpers for I think the past 2+ years, and only once has a man, a senior (who along with his wife was looking for a person to help with doing their housecleaning) but while he was rather kindly sounding on the phone and everything, he lived just too far south from me here in Edmonton, so I politely declined when I discovered that it would take me 3 buses and a good hour just to get to their house.

That was over a year ago, and since then nobody in Edmonton has contacted me about being a volunteer. I'm probably going to take my name off of Elder Helpers because it's just not used in my city.
