Senior Helpers Greenville Earns First Age-Friendly Home Care Certification

To secure the accreditation, the organization integrated the 4Ms framework—What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility—into its daily operations. This approach prioritizes the specific goals and preferences of older adults while managing cognitive health and physical safety. According to Teresa Harbour, COO of CHAP, the certification reflects a proactive commitment to clinical excellence that already included the use of proprietary tools like the LIFE Profile assessment and the Senior Gems dementia care program.

Brandy Alexander, owner of the Greenville location, noted that these standards have been woven into the company's culture and client care plans. By utilizing a dedicated Center of Excellence, where caregivers train in simulated home environments, the staff ensures that their interventions translate directly to improved quality of life for seniors aging in place. This certification positions the provider to better align its specialized services, ranging from Parkinson’s support to end-of-life care, with evidence-based national benchmarks.
