Most families reach out when something changes or starts to feel unsafe. Getting support in place early prevents bigger issues. Seniors Helping Seniors® provides non-medical in-home care for older adults in Venice and the surrounding communities of South Sarasota County. This is part of a broader home care plan designed to help older adults remain safely independent at home. Our caregivers are experienced, mature adults who share the same generational background as the people they serve.

Families typically reach out in one of these situations:
Falls, near-falls, unsafe bathing, medication confusion, or worsening mobility.
Adult children who can't be there day-to-day and want consistent eyes and ears in the home.
A spouse, son, or daughter has been doing it all and needs reliable relief.
A discharge, a new diagnosis, or a sudden change that means home isn't working the way it used to.
Getting set up with home care is straightforward. Most families go from first call to active care within 48 hours to one week.
Call us or reach out online. Our intake coordinator spends about 15 minutes learning about your situation, answering your questions, and helping determine whether home care is the right next step.
Documents are sent digitally for review and signature. If needed, this step can also be handled in person.
A registered nurse visits the home for an approximately one-hour assessment. This typically happens within 24 to 48 hours of your initial call.
We match your loved one with a caregiver based on skill set, availability, proximity, and personality.
Simple schedules can start within a couple of days. More complex arrangements, including 24/7 care, take slightly longer to coordinate.

Seniors Helping Seniors® was co-founded in 1998 by Kiran and Philip Yocom. Kiran spent 14 years working alongside Mother Teresa, an experience that shaped the organization’s core principle: care is most meaningful when it comes from someone who shares your life experience.
The Venice-area operation is locally owned and operated by Andy Malivuk, who has been with Seniors Helping Seniors® for nine years and ranks among the top franchise owners nationally. Andy entered home care because of his own family’s experiences with home health agencies, and his very first employee was his grandfather.
Seniors Helping Seniors® is independently owned and operated. Trademarks belong to Corporate Mutual Resources Incorporated.
Reliable home care comes down to consistency. It means the same caregiver showing up, understanding routines, and providing stable, predictable support. When care is inconsistent, families deal with repeated retraining, disrupted routines, and increased safety risk. We focus on continuity by assigning consistent caregivers and actively tracking that consistency over time, so your loved one is cared for by someone who knows them, not a revolving door of new faces.
Seniors Helping Seniors® provides non-medical in-home care in Venice, including companion care, homemaker services, personal care, dementia support services, fall prevention, and home care for veterans. Services are available from as few as 6 hours per week up to 24/7 care with rotating caregivers.
From your first call to the start of care, the typical timeline is 48 hours to one week. Simple schedules can often be staffed within a couple of days. More complex arrangements that require multiple caregivers rotating in shifts take slightly longer to coordinate.
Please call us at 941-877-1000 to discuss contract terms. Our intake coordinator can walk you through what to expect before you commit to anything.
Yes. Every caregiver undergoes Level 2 background screening through Florida’s Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse before providing any care. This is the most thorough level of screening available in the state.
Yes. Seniors Helping Seniors® is contracted with the Veterans Administration, and eligible veterans can receive the full range of our services at zero out-of-pocket cost. The VA assesses each veteran individually and authorizes a specific number of weekly hours, typically ranging from 4 to 20 hours per week.
The Continuity of Care Index (COCI) measures whether the same caregivers are consistently assigned to the same clients over time. We track it because consistent caregivers mean fewer disruptions, better relationships, and safer care. Most home care agencies do not measure this at all. We encourage families to ask any agency they are evaluating for their caregiver turnover rate and whether they track their COCI.
Most families start with a short 10 to 15 minute call to talk through the situation and see whether our services are the right fit. There is no obligation to move forward.
