Finding a service to suit my sister, who is living with dementia, was not easy. She is physically active and absolutely loves going out, but it was no longer safe for her to do so alone. Because she still felt independent, she couldn't understand why she needed "carers" at all. Seniors Helping...
Her companions interests and activities are so well matched that it feels like she is out with a trusted friend rather than a formal carer, completely maintaining her dignity. My sister has so much fun on their outings! Her companions are outstanding; nothing is ever too much trouble, and they will often thoughtfully suggest extra activities they know she will enjoy.
Mel and her team are incredibly responsive and always answer my calls promptly. I receive updates after every single visit, which gives me complete peace of mind. The team is consistently caring, flexible, professional, and empathetic. I can't recommend them enough.
Thank you - this is very kind of you to share because your sister's feelings are shared by many people and I'm sure this will help other families.

The Seniors helping seniors team have been amazing since the moment we first reached out to them, and through the support we have received over the past few months. Mel and her team are always kind and caring and happy to help with whatever needs to be done. They were also so flexible in helping us find the right balance of help/rota. I feel very comfortable knowing I am leaving J in such capable hands
Thank you. Always a pleasure. We appreciate you taking the time to submit your review - the team love it!

My father had seniors helping him for the last few years of his life. He was 97 when he died and had lived independently but needed a little help in the last few years . He was reluctant at first but very quickly could not praise them enough . The seniors team were compassionate, but most importantly treated him with respect and dignity. They helped him achieve tasks he wanted to do but never took over , always listening to his needs and helping him to reach his goals . My father was a fiercely independent man so it was wonderful that he could carry on doing the things he loved with their attentive help.They also went the extra mile in accommodating unexpected emergencies and were always available when needed. Towards the end of his life their visits gave him a sense of purpose and he looked forward to their visits. My father if he was still alive would sing their praises and I and my brothers cannot recommend or thank them enough . They are outstanding.
I can highly recommend Seniors helping Seniors. They regularly come in to help and be with my mother. They are all so lovely and caring. When she has needed extra help at short notice they have been amazing at providing that for her. She would not have been able to remain at home without the...

Without their support we wouldn't have managed to keep my mum at home so long. I would highly recommend.
Thank you, this means the world to us because we will always respect people's wishes to stay at home whilst they are able to.. whatever it takes

I have been very impressed with the organisation and support provided by Seniors Helping Seniors for my Mum in Canterbury. We selected this companion service and have been using them since February 2026, particularly because more experienced staff were used and the value that they placed on their employees. The weekly visits provided for my mother is welcome and gives me peace of mind as we do not live close by.
The staff are vey helpful, The administration is particularly efficient with communications being responsed to quickly. When we needed to adapt the appointments this has been done without complication.
I have particularly relieved that at short notice that a companion could be found to accompany my Mum to an emergency dental appointment.
The Portal is a useful tool to track the meetings and updates from the companion. Again there is always a prompt response in record keeping.
We honestly couldn't ask for a better service. The carers are professional, kind, and genuinely caring. My mum absolutely loves seeing the lady who visits her three times a week, and those visits mean so much to her. Mum would truly be lost without their support. It gives our family real peace of...

It gives our family real peace of mind knowing she is being looked after so well. Thank you for everything you do.

Seniors Helping Seniors went out of their way to provide a top rate service for my wife. The procedure started with the owner visiting us at home for a discussion and to leave a questionnaire for us to provide details of my wife's likes, dislikes, past employment, hobbies and pastimes so that the carer could be carefully matched to my wife. Soon, a small team of carers was assembled, each one being introduced by the owner, and the team remained stable throughout my wife's care. When we went from two carer visits per day to three, the manager went over and above the call of duty to find the extra suitable staff. Each carer was kind, genuinely caring, professional and thoughtful, adding significantly to the quality of life of my wife and myself.

The Seniors Helping Seniors team provides excellent support for our mother. The carers are friendly, assist her with a wide range of tasks including ones she finds challenging and share useful advice with us. Importantly, Seniors Helping Seniors give my sister and me peace of mind, knowing that she is in good hands and enable our mother to continue living at her home.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences for others. Our carers thoroughly enjoy supporting your mother and we're happy all our advice has helped. Your mum is in the very best place.

It was a great relief to me when I returned from a day out to find my husband full of praise for the company of Tony who, he said, had been immensely conscientious and he was totally satisfied with all the assistance he had been given. Seniors Helping Seniors had introduced Tony to us the week before, which we found helpful and we would have no hesitation in calling for their services again.
Thank you for taking the time to write in to share your experiences. We are always delighted to help carers achieve some respite from their day to day. Tony really enjoys the time he spends with your husband too. We look forward to hearing from you again and we will be able to ensure the same carer.
They help her in so many ways from washing and dressing to accessing the garden.
They also very responsive to add an extra call if needed
Thank you for you help with mum xxx

My disabled husband has had many happy hours of fun, laughter and games with our volunteer. Once every 2 weeks he comes to chat and gives me a couple of hours to meet up with friends I havent seen for a while as I cannot leave my husband for long. Thoroughly recommend this well organised, professional team to add a little sparkle to both our lives.
Thank you. We are delighted to be a trusted partner for you both. Time for you is essential respite and we love our time together
Straight from the first contact, the experience has been professional and without reproach. From the short lead-in time, SHS have bent over backwards to help and have provided a first class service for mum. She loves the contact with the carers, giving her the personal assistance and dignity she...
With the portal as well, we are able to maintain up to date contact and communication on a daily basis which is also a great relief as I live so far away.
I would definitely recommend Seniors Helping Seniors and have already done so for another family member.
Thank you for your kind words. It's our privilege and pleasure to support your Mum

I had excellent communication with Sally from the start of contact. The request was for a companion to visit a client of mine at a Care Home. An on-site visit was arranged quickly and an assessment of the situation was acquired. Sally and her colleagues provided 1-1 support twice a week which worked very well and the set up of the support was very quick which was great. The companion support is currently on hold whilst the client is at her own home for a respite period to assess whether she can remain at her long terms with a care package, if she can, then I would have not hesitation in engaging the services of the companions again to provide consistency in care.
Thank you ! Means the world. We are thrilled with the decision to have our carers support a live-in team. A great outcome for the client and a testament to teamwork. Your unwavering commitment and determination is inspiring.

My mother only started companionship visits from seniors helping seniors in November 25 and her buddy was a perfect match for my mum forming a great friendship instantly with so much in common. Unfortunately mum was rushed to hospital via ambulance in January and had a pacemaker fitted. Although I visit mum daily I'd missed the symptoms and it was Linda on a buddy made me aware of my mums condition. I wouldn't have reacted without Linda. Both Linda and Vittorio stayed in contact concerned for mum's well being. This is much more than a job to Linda and much more than a business to Vittorio. I really can't thank them both enough. Since the buddy visits have started it's really improved my mums outlook on life
and his team are wonderful.
I have no hesitation in recommending seniors helping seniors, my brother and I live some distance from our mother so we needed a company we could trust and all the team at Seniors were amazing with Mum, she considered all the team her friend and nothing was too much trouble for them

My husband has a 2 hour walk and a break for a drink on a lovely walk that the companion has arranged, and is always happy and genial when he arrives. My husband looks forward to seeing him for a couple of hours a week, for different company and surroundings. The companion is always, kind, happy, polite and respectful, and fun.
Thank you! We appreciate you taking the time to explain how the respite works for you. I'm sure this will help others considering it. Take care dear.
Our daughter has been receiving care 5 times a week from the team. They have all been kind, caring and supportive in settling our daughter into university life and have been helping her with aspects of self care, socialisation and living independently. This support has been invaluable in giving our...
The kind caring team make such personnel help just like it is being provided by a family member and they are very respectful of encouraging independence and only helping when requested.
We really are so glad we found the team - we would recommend them to our family and friend in the future and anyone living in the canterbury area.
Thank you so much! It's been a delight to support your family through this incredible milestone. We rose to the challenge to match carers who could support a young student life properly and discretely, and we're all loving it!

Seniors Helping Seniors have been caring for our elderly friend for some time. Without any family she would not have been able to care for herself and would have needed a care home. She loved the care she received and was very fond of each member of staff who came on the four days a week she received help with washing and dressing.
Thank you! We are delighted we were able to support through the stages to enable your friend's highest wishes to stay at home. We notice the four stars regarding costs, and just want to share our promise that we keep the costs as low as possible - our non negotiable is looking after and paying our amazing carers very well.

Launching Seniors Helping Seniors in the UK came after a redundancy aged 50, and it was an opportunity to fulfil a deeply held passion for community care.
It was clear that care services in the UK needed a completely different approach. Seniors Helping Seniors is all about people. Sally says "we select the best carers, we match them carefully to our clients and we support our carers to bring their best self to every visit." Providing outstanding care and support for clients and their families a source of huge pride.

Our clients love the discretion of peer-to-peer support and we gain reliable, knowledgable and highly skilled teams in every area.
Capacity is key. "When we always have amazing carers, anyone who needs support urgently in and around Canterbury, Whitstable, Thanet, Deal and Sandwich, knows to call us. We are super responsive and we won't let you down"
