Seniors Helping Seniors® Central Oklahoma Highlights the Benefits of Employing Older
Seniors Helping Seniors® in-home care services, a franchise with over 125 franchise partners across more than 35 states and international markets, has grown rapidly in recent years by building a workforce of talented caregivers – most of whom are seniors themselves – who create meaningful relationships with their senior care clients. In celebration of National Employ Older Workers Week, which ran September 22-28, Seniors Helping Seniors® Central Oklahoma recognizes the contribution of older workers to the workforce and encourages more employers to consider them for employment.
The United States is undergoing a demographic shift, with older Americans staying in the workforce longer and contributing valuable skills, experience and commitment. National Employ Older Workers Week aims to increase awareness of this growing labor segment and to promote the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), which provides job training and employment opportunities to older Americans. Seniors Helping Seniors® services proudly supports this initiative by prioritizing the hiring of active seniors as caregivers.
“Seniors Helping Seniors® locations prioritize hiring active seniors because they bring unmatched experience, reliability and empathy to the caregiving role,” said Kevin Richardson owner of Seniors Helping Seniors® Central Oklahoma. “We encourage all companies to explore the benefits of employing older workers-just as we have seen the positive impact firsthand in our care services.”
Nearly 12 million older, disabled and chronically ill Americans rely on in-home care each year, highlighting the vital role caregivers play in providing essential support. As Seniors Helping Seniors® franchise community continues to grow nationwide, it offers rewarding career opportunities for caregivers who are passionate about helping others while serving as a valuable resource for family caregivers who may be facing burnout.
“Caregivers are the heart of our mission, playing a crucial role in the well-being of countless individuals,” said Richardson. “With nearly half of all U.S. caregivers aged 50 and older, many face their own health challenges. That’s why we prioritize hiring senior caregivers and offering robust support to safeguard their mental, physical and emotional health.”
