If you’re raising children while also supporting aging parents, you’re not alone. You’re part of the Sandwich Generation – a group balancing two sets of caregiving responsibilities at once. It's a deeply personal and often overwhelming challenge, especially here in Boston and the South Shore, where life moves fast. At Senior Helpers, we recognize that you’re managing more than just caregiving tasks – you’re carrying the logistical and emotional load of two generations.

The Logistics of Care – Made Manageable

From coordinating doctor’s appointments and school pickups to ensuring both a parent’s pills are taken and a child’s homework is on time, the demands of caregiving can feel non-stop. That’s where our nurse-led, evidence-based care comes in. Our services can encompass everything from meal prep, transportation and medication reminders to specialized care for transitions from hospitals and surgical recovery as well as dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other specific conditions. We use our Life Profile™ assessment, which touches on 225 unique factors, to understand your parent’s needs, risks and goals. From there, we create a care plan that fits into your lives.

We also embrace technology to provide remote support and peace of mind, like AI-powered wellness monitoring. But we never let tech replace personal touch – only enhance it.

You can’t be in two places at once, but with Senior Helpers, you don’t have to be. We help manage daily care tasks, coordinate with healthcare providers, and provide reliable in-home support so your time and energy can stretch further – without getting stretched too thin.

Managing the Emotional Side of Multigenerational Support

Logistics are only part of what makes caring for aging parents and children at the same time so challenging. There’s also the emotional toll of guilt, worry, exhaustion and the heartache of watching a parent lose independence while trying to be there for your kids.

We understand that emotional strain because over the past 15 plus years, we’ve helped countless families just like yours. Our approach to Age Friendly Care™ goes beyond task lists. It’s about seeing you and your loved one as unique people with unique needs.

Our caregivers are more than just aides. They are qualified and trained companions who know how to provide care that fosters dignity and personal connection while supporting physical and emotional well-being. As needs evolve, the care plan can be adjusted. By informing our clients and their families of their options, we help them make informed decisions without pressure or judgment.

Respecting the Economics of Care

Many Sandwich Generation caregivers are also managing the financial strain of care. You may be balancing daycare, college savings and household expenses alongside support for an aging loved one. That’s why we prioritize economic respect – helping families find realistic and flexible solutions that protect their loved ones’ well-being without compromising their financial stability. We’ll walk you through costs and explain where and how your dollars can do the most good.

You’re Not Alone

Being in the Sandwich Generation can feel like you’re being pulled in every direction. But you don’t have to do it all yourself.

Senior Helpers Boston & South Shore is your source for helping hands. We put our team of professionals to work for you and your family. Whether you need a few hours of weekly support or full-time care, we’re here to give your family relief, confidence and breathing room.
