West michigan Home and Garden Show
What does Seniors Helping Seniors have in common with the West Michigan Home and Garden show?
Probably not that much....
While we are in the business of helping seniors maintain their independence so they can stay in their home, we do not do windows, carpet, garage doors or most of the other things you typically see exhibited at a Home and Garden Show.
But I was speaking with Judy Cissler from Gotcha Covered this morning you can find her on facebook Gotcha Covered Grand Rapids and Judy gave me several 2 for 1 coupons to get into the home and garden show...she also has $2 off coupons. If you know anyone going to the show who doesn't have a coupon you can let me know or they can visit Judy's facebook page and request one from her. FYI - The show is at DeVos March 3-6.
P.S. Remember we do help seniors with yard work, so if you know any seniors with Spring Cleaning projects coming up, we would love to help them.

How Seniors Helping Seniors Can Help Seniors with Transitional Moves
Seniors Helping Seniors is known for helping seniors maintain their independence in their own home for as long as it is safely possible. However, for a number of reasons (Alzheimer's, Dementia, changes in health, falling, etc.) in many cases it may be necessary for someone to move into an assisted living facility or nursing home. It is also very common for seniors to downsize and move from a single family home into a condo or townhouse.
In either situation, Seniors Helping Seniors is still there to help. When it is time for you to move, we understand the challenges that come with packing up a home that you may have been in for decades. Our senior providers have an understanding of what it is like to have been in the same home for many, many years and who better to help you prepare for a move? We also can help you get settled into your home - unpack, hang those pictures, put the dishes away and even look through all those photographs you uncovered during the move and talk about the "Good old days".
But in this housing market, before we get to any of that, first you need to sell your home. And that is where someone like Julie Stone from Staged to Sell can come in.....
Thanks for providing this information Julie!

SHS Mentioned on Good Morning America
Back to Work: Best Jobs for Older Workers to Earn Supplemental Income
From Good Morning America: America's Jobs
A recent story on Good Morning America mentioned the three C's for seniors who are looking for work - Consulting, Customer Service and Caregiving. It is mentioned that the smartest companies out there see the value in older workers, who are more dedicated, have more knowledge and are very reliable.
With a name like "Seniors Helping Seniors" we would like to think that we are the pioneers in the caregiving industry...after all, when we started back in the late 90's we recognized back then all the benefits of having one senior helping another senior. We are mentioned on page 2 of the article that can be seen here.
