Greene and Putnam Chambers Celebrate Ribbon Cutting for Seniors Helping Seniors®
National in-home care franchise expands its Mid-South Georgia footprint, bringing its relationship-based caregiving model to Greene, Putnam and surrounding Lake Country communities.
The Greene and Putnam County Chambers of Commerce held a joint ribbon cutting to welcome Seniors Helping Seniors® Mid-South Georgia to Lake Country with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held on July 21 at the company's new office in Eatonton. Community leaders, Chamber members, referral partners and local residents gathered to celebrate the opening of the agency's second location, which will serve older adults throughout Greene, Putnam and the surrounding Lake Country communities.
Owner Jeanine Lewis Canales, President of Seniors Helping Seniors® Mid-South Georgia, shared the inspiration behind expanding into Lake Country and the growing need for compassionate, relationship- based home care that allows older adults to remain safely and independently in the homes they love.
"Our mission is to help seniors age in place with dignity while surrounding them with caregivers who feel less like hired help and more like trusted friends," said Canales. "Lake Country is home to one of Georgia's fastest-growing senior populations, and we're honored to bring a model of care built on empathy, dependability, and meaningful human connection."
Seniors Helping Seniors® is a nationally recognized in-home care franchise with more than 200 franchise partners operating across over 400 territories nationwide. The organization is distinguished by its unique caregiving model that intentionally matches older adults with mature caregivers who share similar life experiences, creating relationships built on trust, understanding and companionship.
Unlike many traditional home care providers, Seniors Helping Seniors® prioritizes hiring mature caregivers—often seniors themselves—to provide companionship, personal care assistance, transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, respite care, and other non-medical services. The company's rigorous caregiver selection process emphasizes character, reliability and compassion, ensuring every client receives care that is both dependable and deeply personal.
The new Lake Country office represents the second physical location for Seniors Helping Seniors® Mid- South Georgia, which serves 33 counties across Middle and South Georgia. The Eatonton office complements the agency's Augusta headquarters and reflects the organization's continued investment in expanding access to high-quality in-home care throughout the region.
