Seniors Home Care - Webster Groves, MO

“I started SHC to provide a support system for older adults,” says Kit Whittington, founder of Seniors Home Care. “SHC allows individuals who want the benefits of assisted living, but do not want to move out of their home, stay in the comfort of their own homes and maintain their independence.

The range of services is reassuring to client families who find it difficult to raise their own families while trying to be supportive caregivers to their elderly parents. In its simplest manifestation, care can be a few hours of companionship. It might be a shopping trip, light housekeeping, or a therapeutic massage. How is this determined? A qualified SHC registered nurse performs all complimentary client assessments. Her intimately itemized checklist is the basis for her overall impression of the client’s needs. The sum of data and, professional intuition, provides the blueprint for meeting the client’s needs.

Those needs are met by carefully screened, bonded, and insured Seniors Home Care employees, not contract hires. Each caregiver undergoes a thorough background search and completes a training program designed by Whittington and administered by professional instructors. It includes nursing skills and physical therapy applications.

SHC offers its clients flexibility, with care ranging from a 30 minute QuickVisit™ to 24 hour care 7 days a week. A number of services are also offered to those in a nursing home, recovering from an illness, or who are hospitalized. SHC is a member of the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating and was the only home care agency in St. Louis to receive the coveted “Better Business Bureau Torch Award” in 2009 for exceptional ethical business practices.
