Amol and Janhavi Kanitkar bring a unique, senior-focused caregiving model to Orange County, prioritizing compassionate, dignified in-home care for aging adults.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Seniors Helping Seniors® in-home care services, a franchisor with over 115 franchise partners with more than 300 territories nationwide, has grown rapidly in recent years by building a workforce of talented caregivers who create meaningful relationships with their senior care clients. Now, local residents Janhavi and Amol Kanitkar have opened a new location to serve the communities of Irvine, California.
Having grown up in extended families in India, where caring for elders is a cherished part of life, the Kanitkars have a deep respect for seniors and an understanding of the importance of providing dignified support to people as they age. As franchisees with Seniors Helping Seniors®, they are drawing on those values to help families keep their loved ones comfortable, safe and connected at home.
The Seniors Helping Seniors® franchise stands out from other brands in the elder-care space in part through its commitment to hiring senior caregivers, which provides employment opportunities for seniors and better cultivates meaningful relationships between caregivers and care receivers.
“It’s a simple idea, but not a lot of home care agencies focus on it,” said Amol. “There is a need for seniors who are looking for part-time work and want to help, and there are other seniors who are in need of help, so having them team up is mutually rewarding.”
The demand for in-home care for mature populations continues to grow, with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reporting that nearly 70% of retirees will require some form of long-term care. Seniors Helping Seniors® services is expanding in California with its unique care services and approach to caregiver-client matching. This new location in Irvine will mark the 14th in the state and will focus on serving the communities within Orange County.
