An innovative service that helps out senior citizens has come to Dallas. Called Seniors Helping Seniors<\/a>, it’s an in-home care service in which some senior citizens help out other senior citizens with tasks and chores \u2014 whether it’s running errands, a ride to the grocery, cleaning out the cat litter box, or just basic companionship.<\/p>\n

The service has been in the Dallas area for more than 15 years, but mostly in the suburbs. Now longtime Dallas native Lauren Walters, a former PR and communications pro, has opened a location that serves Dallas proper. This new location marks the 14th in Texas and focuses on serving the communities within Dallas, Grand Prairie, Irving, Duncanville, and Mesquite.<\/p>\n

The services offered do not include medical consults but otherwise run the gamut: meal preparation, shopping, bathing, light housekeeping, lightbulb changing and other small repairs, yardwork, and more.<\/p>\n

Walters gravitated to the industry after she found herself caring for her own aging parents and family members, navigating the challenges of finding compassionate, consistent care for them.<\/p>\n

The demand for in-home care for mature populations continues to grow, with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reporting that nearly 70 percent of retirees will require some form of long-term care.<\/p>\n

Seniors Helping Seniors was founded in 1998 by husband-and-wife Philip and Kiran Yocom, who began franchising in 2006. There are now more than 400 locations across the U.S.<\/p>\n

Home care allows people who might need a little help to stay in their own home, rather than moving into an assisted living facility.<\/p>\n

What’s special about Seniors Helping Seniors is that it not only services seniors, it hires them as caregivers. The seniors and mature adults who are hired are still active, with a passion for serving others, helping clients who might be a little less active.<\/p>\n

The Seniors Helping Seniors mission is based on two ideas:<\/p>\n
