Business Serving In-Home Needs of Seniors in Shawnee County Now Under New Ownership

Home Instead Senior Care Helps Seniors “Age in Place”

A local company that helps seniors in Shawnee County age in place and remain independent is now under new ownership.

The Home Instead Senior Care office in Topeka, whose professional caregivers provide non-medical, in-home services to seniors, was recently purchased by Gail Shaheed.

“Home Instead Senior Care has had a strong presence in this area for more than three years,” she said. “We give seniors what most of them clearly want – a chance to enjoy a quality life in their own home whether that’s a private residence, assisted-living community or care center.”  

Home Instead Senior Care is the world’s leading provider of non-medical, in-home services to seniors with more than 800 independently owned and operated franchises worldwide.   

Its caregivers help clients maintain their independence by assisting them with activities of daily living such as meal preparation, laundry, shopping, light housekeeping, driving and incidental transportation.

“Our services are flexible and designed for practically any living arrangement where an older adult simply needs human interaction or help with non-medical, day-to-day activities,” she said. “We’re available from a few hours a week to 24 hours a day depending on our clients’ needs.”
