This experience showed them the need for dependable and compassionate caregiving services in their own community of Farmington Hills, Michigan. Sheila and Joseph began seeking out business opportunities that would align with their mission, passion and values.  They then discovered Seniors Helping Seniors, the at-home non-medical senior care franchise.

“We wanted to make a difference, not only for those who needed care but also for our community by creating jobs,” said Sheila Samples. “When we learned about Seniors Helping Seniors, it felt like the perfect fit and like something we could really get behind.”  We saw this as a dual benefit for the senior community.
