No Place Like Home
Do you know an elderly person who could use help with reaching this up high? How about someone who needs a ride? Or someone who just needs a companion?
Janet Miller started No Place Like Home Personal Assistant Services For Seniors in 2014 after doing corporate work for over a decade. Benevolence is in her blood, being a former big sister, and volunteer for many organizations.
Assistants for celebrities do anything for their client, and Janet is no different. From lending a hand to being a companion, her services cover all. There are 3 categories: going out (groceries, doctor, shopping), helping home (laundry, meal prep, writing a Christmas card), and companion visits (going for a walk, floral conservatory, play games). Medical, cleaning, bathing, and financial services are not included.
Janet started the business because she loves the brilliance and wisdom of elderly people. She also never got to help with elderly members of her own family. Lastly, she used to volunteer with the health region in a capacity where people would call in for companionship - Janet saw a real need for helping people.
Seniors want to stay at home as long as possible, and it's cheaper to do so. They also shouldn't be totally dependent on friends and family. Sometimes they prefer to speak to someone outside their family, and sometimes the family needs extra help. Seniors appreciate a familiar face they can trust.
Janet has 3 levels of insurance: she's bonded, she has commercial liability, and additional vehicle insurance. She's available 7 days/week, and she always follows up with family after each visit. Many families become personal friend, and many say they wish they would've called Janet sooner!
