Our Center of Excellence Is Now Open!

Empowering Care, Inspiring Confidence, and Strengthening Our Community

At Senior Helpers of East Columbia, we’ve always believed that care goes beyond assistance — it’s about compassion, education, and empowering families to navigate aging with confidence and dignity. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the opening of our Center of Excellence (COE) — a space designed to nurture knowledge, connection, and excellence in home care.

Our new Center of Excellence is more than just a training center — it’s a hub of learning and support for our Care Professionals, family caregivers, and community members who want to better understand the world of senior care. Here, we bring together hands-on workshops, dementia care simulations, and interactive sessions that allow both professionals and families to learn practical ways to improve daily life for older adults.

A Learning Space for Future Nurses and Family Caregivers

We’re proud to open our doors to the nursing students of Columbia International University (CIU). These future healthcare leaders are gaining firsthand experience in what compassionate, person-centered care truly looks like. They’re learning not only the technical skills of caregiving but also the heart behind it — patience, respect, and understanding.

Through real-world training and mentorship from our experienced team, the CIU nursing students are witnessing the difference that genuine connection makes in a client’s life. Partnerships like this allow us to continue setting the standard for quality home care in the East Columbia area and beyond.

Support for Families Who Care

The COE isn’t just for professionals — it’s also for you, the family caregiver. We know that caring for a loved one at home can feel overwhelming at times. Our goal is to help families feel supported, educated, and confident in their caregiving journey.

Visitors to our Center of Excellence will find resources and hands-on demonstrations focused on:

  • Understanding dementia and memory care needs

  • Improving communication and comfort at home

  • Managing caregiver stress and burnout

  • Practical home safety and personal care techniques

We want this to be a place where family members can ask questions, gain insight, and connect with a team who truly understands what they’re going through.

Building a Stronger Community Through Compassion and Knowledge

The heart of our mission at Senior Helpers has always been to serve others with love and respect. The Center of Excellence allows us to deepen that mission — creating an environment where education and empathy meet.

We invite our clients, partners, and community members to visit, participate, and experience what makes Senior Helpers different: our unwavering dedication to care that uplifts both the caregiver and the one being cared for.
