Senior Helpers 866-584-7011 3040 Berkmar Dr., Ste. B, Charlottesville, VA 22901 HOUSING: GENERAL Once you have determined that your elderly loved one needs assistance, it is important to honor their wish to remain happy and independent in their own home. But for your own peace of mind, you need to know that they are completely safe and cared for in all situations. Even when you are close to a senior family member, it can be difficult to know their specific needs. And in some cases, they might be apprehensive to mention their more personal needs. The complimentary, initial in-home care interview with a Senior Helpers consultant can help you survey your options. Together you can discuss your loved one's needs and our services to determine what is best for your entire family. www.seniorhelpers.com Get energy conserving updates for the homes of lowincome clients, including heating or air conditioning system repair or replacement for residents of the counties of Greene, Madison, and Orange.
