Senior Specialists is an organization whose mission is to provide supportive services to the aging seniors in our surrounding communities. We offer aging adults and their families the ability to work with one agency to provide the following: Home Care, Long Term Care & Housing options, and Real Estate Brokerage services.
Continuity of care and services enables us to develop long-term relationships and the ability to understand specific individual needs from the whole-person perspective instead of fragmented pieces. With our team involved in the ongoing care management and wellbeing of the senior, the shared goal of quality of care is easier to achieve. It also enables us to be efficient and effective advocates when it comes to care needs, finances, demographics and personal preferences.
