History
Working With Mother Teresa, She Was Inspired by Older People's Compassion. So She Started a Caregiving Business That Hires Them.
Kiran Yocom started the franchise Seniors Helping Seniors because she felt there was no one better equipped to do the job.
When you're in the business of caring for others, nothing beats having Mother Teresa on your résumé. Yocom has just that; she worked with the sainted nun for more than a decade in India, and Yocom's commitment to serving others continued when she moved to the U.S. in 1995. Three years later, she cofounded the home-care company Seniors Helping Seniors. Inspired by the compassion she saw in older people; she hired seniors as primary caregivers for other seniors.
"Because we hire seniors to provide our services, they're more conscientious about making sure they're not the ones partying on the beaches of Florida. And something else we started during COVID was telecare. For the seniors who did not have caregivers coming in and providing services, they could get a call from someone at the office. During COVID we saw people in nursing homes and facilities around the world getting depressed and lonely. So, we'd have check-in calls to make sure clients were OK."
