So friends we all age a little differently. For me its 7 years to every 1 human year. At some point we actually catch up to one another. Just like me, as you age, we all start to slow down a little. Let’s look at your favorite car (Oh, I love to ride in the Senior Helpers Soul car). A new car runs smoothly with almost no maintenance or repairs needed. As time goes on, however, repairs are needed to maintain function. Parts are wearing out and it’s time to do some maintenance (like that knee I have been complaining about). It does not mean that the car doesn’t work. It just means that we need to change what we are doing (like my Mom driving faster than angels fly).
Committed to Making a Difference
When meeting Gayle and Dwight Davis you know right away that they love what they do, and their clients love that they are doing it. Gayle and Dwight both learned firsthand while caring for their respective parents the challenges of caring for someone who is aging. When Gayle’s mom passed, she was constantly being asked by friends and family for resources available for aging parents. This passion for helping others led them to look at several business opportunities for in-home care companies. They decided on the franchise, Senior Helpers, because they like the idea of having systems for success in place and the support of a franchise behind them.

“We are humbled by the nomination and the receipt of NHBR’s Business Excellence Award. The need for in-home care in New Hampshire continues to grow exponentially as seniors choose to age in place…to live in their home for as long as possible.

We have built a fantastic team that continues to work diligently to address the needs of our community and to provide in home care for seniors and others in need of assistance with ADLs (activities of daily living), as well as good employment for those seeking a career path that has real earnings and growth potential for the foreseeable future.”
