With offices in Nashville, Knoxville and Murfreesboro, Senior Solutions Home Care officially added Jackson to its roster when the five-year old company held its ribbon cutting at 233-B Oil Well Road Monday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe opened December of (2014),\u201d said Kunu Kaushal, partner & CEO. \u201cThis was Kingdom Care Solutions, so, essentially, it\u2019s under different management.\u201d<\/p>\n
The name may have changed, but the mission remains.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re trying to keep people out of nursing homes,\u201d Kaushal said. \u201cOur motto is, \u2018Adding years to life, and life to years.\u2019 We have two major divisions \u2014 private pay for as little as one hour at a time, and up to 24 hours, seven days a week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kaushal and Melissa Warren are partners at Senior Solutions Home Care, which is based in Brentwood.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have five offices, 300 clients and 300 caregivers statewide,\u201d Kaushal said. \u201cWe have about 40 clients here, and 37 caregivers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kaushal said Senior Solutions has clients with memory loss, and perhaps a spouse simply needs a few hours a day to take care of some personal business.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey can go to the grocery store,\u201d Kaushal said. \u201cOr a son or a daughter can come in and truly be a son or a daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Warren said the caregiver may be the only person a client sees during the day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey would not have called if they didn\u2019t need help,\u201d Warren said. \u201cIf you call for service, we won\u2019t say we do not have a caregiver for that area \u2014 we will find them help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Warren said she is aware clients have a tendency to lose their purpose in life, and that\u2019s where Senior Solutions comes in.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t come in and take over,\u201d Warren said. \u201cWe want good, passionate people. We can teach them the skills, but we can\u2019t teach them the heart to care for others. They have to bring that with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tish Browning, senior advocate\/marketing with Senior Solutions, supervises the Jackson office.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a caring heart, because some of us have had to be a caregiver ourselves,\u201d Browning said. \u201cThe (client) is like our own family member, and it\u2019s very personal to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
