Caring Senior Service keeps one thing front and center. Most people want to stay at home. Cathy started Caring Senior Service with that in mind, creating a team that offers nonmedical help with bathing, dressing, medication reminders, meal prep, light housework, rides and errands, and plain company. They also give families a break with respite and overnight support. What sets them apart is pairing warm, trained caregivers with tech tools. They partner with Pocket RN nursing support, a 24-hour virtual assistant, and AI monitoring that only flags health alerts and routine changes. Care can even be introduced gently — caregivers may come in professional everyday clothes so a client sees a friend, not a stranger.
Joe’s story shows how deep that care can go. Joe cared for his wife Annie through the slow, hard days of dementia. When it became too much, Caring Senior Service stepped in and provided round-the-clock help until Annie passed. The team stayed with her in those last months. That steady support gave Joe space to take some time for himself and to find a new way forward.
He stayed close to the caregiver who had helped them. Then he made a quiet, powerful choice. He joined the team. Now Joe drives clients to appointments, plays cards with those who want company, and brings small comforts that matter. In a few months, he has helped several people. He also takes part in the caregiver training program so he could learn how best to help. As Lara put it, "it kind of came full circle for him." For Joe, the work brings new purpose and a way to give back to the people and community who helped his family.
Another story speaks to long-term bonds. CSS cared for a man for 14 years. He was active in the New Braunfels community and hoped to reach 100 years. He passed at 99 in October, just before his birthday. Caregivers gathered for a memorial. They shared small, funny, stories about his antics. The agency had also cared for his ex-wife until she passed. These were not short jobs. They were relationships.
If families are tired, the advice is simple. Don’t wait. Try a few hours, a couple times a week. Let your loved one meet a caregiver as a friend. The help can bring peace of mind, steady routines, and a way for loved ones to stay at home where they want to be. Caring Senior Service brings care and heart to everything they do.
The help can bring peace of mind.
