Special Intern

This summer we have been blessed to have a wonderful young lady help us in the office. Jillian Stimson will be a Junior this fall at Hope College and plans on graduating with a double major in International Relations and Psychology. She enjoys working on projects for our providers, and is always happy to help, whether it is putting together files or taking a technology for seniors book over to one of our receivers. Her positive attitude and willingness to help with any project she can is greatly appreciated, and hopefully you all get a chance to meet her this summer.

Awesome Helper

A big thank you to Donna Keckler for all she has done for the seniors in her care! Donna has been working for Seniors Helping Seniors since before Nora and I purchased the company in 2014. She and her sister Judy attended a senior picnic sponsored by Seniors Helping Seniors in the early days and decided on the spot to join the team. Over the years, Donna has taken care of some very special people and says she enjoyed them all. Her latest client whom she takes care of 5 days a week, will be moving to assisted living this week. We want to express our appreciation for the quality of care Donna has given to all her seniors and share her sadness at this transition. God bless you, Donna. Thank you for being part of our team.
