Home Safety Consulting
Do you wish to stay in your home for as long as you can before transferring to a senior care facility? Many seniors are capable of maintaining their independence at home but need to be sure their home is a ‘senior safe’ environment. That’s what we do.
Making even small home safety improvements can make a big difference in the quality of life of our seniors. With a safe home environment, they can prevent falls and enjoy greater mobility and health well into their retirement years. In addition, a safer home makes it easier for senior friends to visit, improving social and emotional well-being.
Heart & Soul Senior Services provides a home safety consulting evaluation with the use of a detailed checklist. One of our team members will visit your home to do the following:
- Evaluate the interior and exterior of your home to identify any safety risks
- Provide solutions, information and products to help eliminate risks and hazards
- Refer you to qualified service providers or contractors, if required
- Manage and oversee every step required to turn your living space into a safe and worry-free home environment
Companionship
Do you enjoy taking walks? Do you miss having a day at the spa with friends? Do you need a card partner? Many seniors are capable of maintaining their independence at home with some outside help and assistance. That’s what we do.
We help seniors stay in their own home and enjoy an independent life. At home, surrounded by familiar things, seniors experience less stress and live happier, healthier, longer lives.
Heart & Soul Senior Services offers many companionship services, such as these:
- In-home visits, including for games and other activities
- Going for walks, even with a pet
- Accompaniment on social outings and events
- Travel (long-distance and short trips)
- Assistance after surgery
- In-home spa services, including haircuts, manicures and pedicures
Our founder Julie is a licensed hairdresser and barber. As part of our services, she offers in-home hair appointments, such as haircuts (wash, cut and blow dry) and facial shaving.
Affordable and compassionate help for seniors. You can trust us for companionship services.
Relocation Services
Are you relocating but have 30 years’ worth of packing to do? Relocation services for seniors to ensure a worry-free move. That’s what we do.
Moving at any age is stressful. Planning, packing and paying for a move all contribute to the stress, but the emotional part of leaving a residence that is filled with memories and that has been home for many years can actually lead to a condition social workers call RSS, or relocation stress syndrome. We help ensure stress-free transitions for seniors who are downsizing and moving to a smaller home or a retirement community.
Heart & Soul Senior Services offers A-to-Z assistance with this process. Prior to your desired moving date, the following steps will be taken:
- Planning and organizing the move
- Preparing the floor plan for your new home
- Creating a step-by-step moving checklist
- Downsizing the home
- Disposing of unneeded items
- Packing of belongings for the move
- Scheduling a moving van and coordinating the move
- Managing all aspects on the moving date
- Unpacking at your new home
- Preparing your old home for sale

Do you have a weekly outing and continuously have difficulty finding transportation? Affordable and caring transportation for seniors. That’s what we do.
